Delivery: Face-to-face | Duration: Three-hours | Level: Mid-level
This practical course is specifically designed for Human Resources (HR) professionals who play a key role in shaping inclusive workplace practices and advising leaders. It focuses on enhancing the strategic and advisory capabilities within HR to build sustainable neuro-inclusive systems across the organisation.
Going beyond compliance, this session explores how HR can enable neurodivergent employees, and the leaders who support them, to thrive.
Through practical case studies, group discussions, activities and real‑world scenarios, you will explore how to:
- enable leaders to support their employees
- manage disclosures and early intervention conversations
- identify appropriate reasonable adjustments, and
- create escalation pathways that balance care, consistency and organisational risk
By the end of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of how HR can drive an inclusive workplace culture where everyone has the support and tools they need to perform at their best.
