Neurodiversity in the Workplace Training
Experienced in the support and management of neurodiverse employees in the workplace
Increasing numbers of neurodiverse school leavers are entering the workforce. Many long-standing employees are also seeking a formal diagnosis of conditions including autism (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia and tourette's syndrome.
Employers are increasingly having to engage with employees who declare a diagnosis or who believe they are neurodiverse.
The Employment Tribunal have recently found that an employer had failed in their duty to make reasonable adjustments as they did not implement neurodiversity awareness training for their management team.
If you are unsure of how to best support a neurodivergent employee or manage them and other staff, our employment law solicitors have years of experience in providing pragmatic human resources support and guidance to comply with your legal obligations and resolve workplace disputes.
