As #AutismAwarenessMonth comes to an end, it's important to continue spreading awareness and support for #Autism in and out of the workplace. In Part II of my interview with Martin Slyngstad and Dustin Parro, they discuss how to spot individuals with Autism and four ways to help them feel comfortable in the workplace. It's a great reminder that small acts of kindness can go a long way in creating a more inclusive workplace! If you're interested in hiring Martin or Dustin, you can find their contact details in the comments section below. Let's work together to make our workplaces more inclusive! #AutismAwarenessMonth #InclusionMatters Your Insights Friend, #LadyWithTheRedGlasses

Often not seen nor recognised - let alone accommodated for... Every autistic person is unique, so it's important to tailor accommodations to individual needs.  Autistic employees bring a diverse range of strengths and skills to the workplace. By creating a supportive environment, employers can unlock their full potential.  Educate managers and colleagues about autism to foster understanding and acceptance. #worldautismawarenessday #talentacquisition #inclusivity #workenvironment #researchanddevelopment

Did You Know? Studies show that 88% of employees with hidden disabilities don't disclose them at work to avoid stigma. Invisible disabilities, including mental health issues, chronic illnesses, and more, often go unrecognized in workplace inclusion efforts. It's vital for businesses to adopt a personalized approach to support, ensuring all team members have the tools they need to succeed. By fostering an environment that encourages open dialogue and flexible accommodations, we can create a truly inclusive workplace. Learn more about how to effectively support invisible disabilities in our blog post. 📖 Read more here: https://loom.ly/XUIA-vg #WorkplaceInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🎉 - a worldwide initiative that challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences. We want to emphasise the importance of creating a neurodivergent-friendly working environment for all colleagues. Here's why this is crucial: 🧠1 in 5 people in the UK are neurodivergent. 🧠There are at least 700,000 autistic adults in the UK, only 15% are in employment. 🧠10% of people in UK are thought to have dyselxia. Did you know... People who are neurodivergent are often very creative, have better focus, are topic experts, have better visual acuity and are more interested in social issues. During this week of celebration, there is no better time to launch our brand-new internal colleague led network for Neurodiversity and Disability. The Network strives to: 🙂Enhance colleague well-being and mental health. 🙂Promote equality, acceptance, and inclusion for neurologically diverse individuals through representation and education. 🙂Ensure colleagues can ask for adjustments, that their requests will be considered fairly, and that approved adjustments will be implemented quickly. 🙂Support employment opportunities by adapting interview processes. Our network advocates for recognizing the richness of diverse minds and fostering an inclusive environment for all. 🌟🧠🌈 #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #LifeAtNHSSupplyChain
