Employers

Research has consistently shown that hiring neurodivergent individuals offers a competitive advantage, particularly in roles requiring innovation and forward thinking.

A well-known study by Hewlett Packard found that neurodiverse teams are 30% more productive than their neurotypical counterparts with fewer errors.

Yet neurodivergent people remain significantly underemployed or unemployed. With companies facing a shortage of workers and a major skills gap—and neurodivergent individuals making up as much as 20% of the population— businesses have a choice: embrace neurodiversity to address these challenges and position themselves at the forefront of innovation and efficiency, or risk being left behind.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY & FEWER MISTAKES

As mentioned above, several studies—including Hutson & Hutson (2023) (link to source is on our Business Sense page) have shown that neurodivergent individuals are often more productive due to their ability to focus intensely for extended periods. This heightened focus also leads to fewer errors, reducing costs by minimising mistakes and inefficiencies.

INCREASE CREATIVITY & LOWER TURNOVER

Neurodivergent individuals are often creative, inventive, spontaneous, and energetic Fabritius, 2022 (link to source is on our Science Station page). Their presence invigorates the workplace, fostering a dynamic environment where ideas and innovation flow freely. And, companies like EY, SAP, JPMorgan Chase, and Microsoft, which run some of the largest autism hiring programs in the U.S., report retention rates exceeding 90%.

IMPROVE COMMUNICATION & MORALE

Workplace improvements for neurodivergent employees benefit everyone. Creating a psychologically safe environment fosters morale and engagement. Companies that prioritise inclusion and mental well-being see stronger team collaboration, greater resilience, and an enhanced reputation. Studies show that businesses with supportive cultures perform better financially and retain talent more effectively (link to source, or visit our Articles and Blogs page).
As someone with my own experience of inaccessibility, I know how crucial it is to cultivate the right environment and culture to allow more neurodivergent individuals a career they can grow and excel in.
