This workshop is aimed at line managers, supervisors and all staff involved with advising, managing and supervising neurodivergent employees.
Join us for an insightful workshop designed specifically for all staff involved with advising, managing and supervising teams, led by Daniel Aherne, Author and Founder of Adjust Services.
When we can effectively bring together our varied cognitive processes, it leads to new perspectives, ideas and problem-solving approaches that can have tangible, positive effects on team productivity, outcomes and cohesion. Managers may need support and guidance to establish and implement conditions where everyone can add value and feel a sense of belonging, especially if they diverge from traditional managerial approaches.
Senior leadership sets the standard and tone for better culture and neuroinclusive approaches that team leaders translate into everyday practice. Striking the right balance between leadership values and individual team needs is key to unlocking the full potential of a cognitively diverse workforce and managers should be both informed and supported to achieve this.
The session will explore the everyday practical considerations and small-scale adjustments that can make a big impact in supporting neurodiverse employees and optimising performance from cognitively diverse teams.
About Daniel Aherne
Daniel, author of the book “The Pocket Guide to Neurodiversity” founded Adjust in 2016 to raise awareness of Neurodiversity in the workplace.
Daniel has over 20 years experience of neurodiversity and working with employers as a trainer and speaker.
Daniel’s passion for Neurodiversity started in 2000 by volunteering with an Autistic boy on a playscheme. This led to him working at the National Autistic Society in the employment team, where he managed the Employment Training. In this role he noticed that whilst every autistic person was different, every workplace was very similar in terms of the barriers that autistic people faced. Leading him to focus primarily on workplaces and helping them become more inclusive.
