Between 15 and 20% of the UK population is neurodivergent and, thanks to more accurate and inclusive criteria, this number is expected to rise. We are already seeing the impact of spaces and policies that don’t cater to a range of needs. Research shows that 64% of neurodivergent employees want more support from their employers. 

It is clear that, socially and ethically, employers have a responsibility to optimise work environments where everyone can thrive. But, it also makes good business sense. Inclusive workspaces bolster productivity, and diverse teams have proven to be 87% better at making decisions, and 35% more likely to outperform competitors. This gives inclusive employers an edge at a time when businesses are navigating an unpredictable economic climate and looking to boost competitiveness and performance.
