Boards and Managers Workshops

Understanding Neurodivergence and Helping to Retain Staff

With 1 in 5 people being neurodivergent, you likely already have talented neurodiverse individuals in your organisation. This workshop offers a practical, cost-effective solution to retaining staff and maximising productivity. When you consider that replacing an employee can cost between 50-200% of their annual salary, investing in understanding and supporting your neurodivergent team members makes clear business sense. By learning how to recognise their unique strengths and provide appropriate support, you can reduce costly turnover, unlock hidden potential, and create a workplace where everyone thrives.

Strengths, Challenges and 'A day in the life of neurodiversity'

The aim of this talk is for managers and board members to understand neurodivergence better. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a sound understanding of the most prevalent neurodiversities in the UK, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia. We'll explore the strengths and challenges each can bring, look at real-world examples of 'a day in the life', and discuss ideal roles and practical workplace hacks. You'll also gain clarity on your legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and learn what reasonable adjustments you can make to support your team effectively.

Support for Line Managers and Conflict Resolution

Bringing both professional expertise and lived experience, this workshop covers what support employees can access from their organisation, the neurodiverse community, and the government. We'll discuss how line managers can best support neurodivergent staff, reducing workplace issues while improving engagement and retention.

Sometimes, despite everyone's best efforts, situations become challenging. Perhaps a talented employee isn't performing as expected, communication has broken down, or absence rates are climbing. When you're stuck in a cycle that isn't working for anyone, I can help. I act as a bridge — translating between neurotypical and neurodivergent communication styles, reading what's not working beneath the surface, and brokering practical solutions that work for both the employee and the organisation. My role is to help line managers understand how to support their team member more effectively, while helping the employee feel safe, understood, and able to do their job well. The result - Situations resolve quickly and efficiently, working relationships improve, and both parties can move forward with confidence.

Ongoing coaching and Job Aide services are available after the workshop to provide continued support for your employees, helping them manage workloads, overcome obstacles, and reach their potential. Book your workshop and invest in your team's success while saving on recruitment costs and creating an inclusive workplace where neurodivergent talent can flourish.
