Sommario/riassunto

This book explores neurodiversity and neurodivergence in the workplace from a practical perspective. There are estimates and surveys that assume 15 to 20 percent of all employees are neurodivergent, including people with attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit-hyperactive disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyscalculia, and autism. In contrast to neurotypical people, they have a different way of absorbing and processing information or expressing feelings



than the majority, presenting challenges for traditional corporate management for employees, managers, and organizations. In this book, the authors examine ways in which organizations can attract, recruit, and engage neurodiverse talent, and provide guidance on how to adapt human resource practices and processes to ensure that all employees can reach their full potential. It describes the forms of neurodiversity and how optimal collaborations can work successfully. Featuring cases, work aides, and best practices, this book helps leaders and organizations to use neurodiversity as competitive advantage to significantly increase productivity, teamwork, and employee retention.
