How can we prepare for the future of work? Proactive inclusion is key! 🔑 Today at the Disability:IN conference in Las Vegas, Christopher Grous, Texthelp’s Inclusive Technology Specialist shed light on the rising prevalence of neurodiversity in our workforces and the importance of proactive inclusion strategies to empower all kinds of minds. What an incredible discussion with leading voices at SAP, EY and Optum on ''Talent isn't Typical: Unlocking Potential and Building Inclusive Workplaces." Some impactful insights shared include: 🎙 "Inclusive technology helps me work to my full potential. With two thirds of neurodiverse individuals not disclosing at work, making tools like this standard practice ensures everyone has the support they need to be their best." Christopher Grous, Texthelp. 🎙"Higher-belonging times are higher-performing teams. The framework that we've built at EY includes five dimensions of neurodiversity inclusion: organizational processes, leader behaviors, enterprise language, assistive technology, and an adaptive environment." Hiren Shukla, EY. 🎙"Our working styles profile system means neurodiverse colleagues can express how they work best, especially as they work in different teams. This is something that's beneficial for everyone." Sarah Loucks, SAP. 🎙"It's important to move beyond asking individuals to disclose they have a condition to receive support. If we can embrace that we all work, learn and communicate differently and celebrate that, we can enhance inclusion and innovation." Amy Root, Optum. Let’s continue this crucial conversation! Visit us at stand 2 where we will be until July 18th and don’t miss our Closing Plenary session tomorrow at 10:30am PST.
