Celebrating neuroinclusion in the workplace

We know neurodiverse teams perform better. A thriving organisation needs big-picture thinkers, people who notice the crucial details, team players, innovators and creative problem solvers.

Why prioritise supporting neuroinclusion in the workplace? 1 in 7 people is neurodivergent, so chances are a few of your colleagues are too. Neurodivergence includes ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, tic conditions like Tourette’s, and many more conditions.

Neurodivergence is associated with strengths and qualities such as:

  • Attention to detail
  • Sustained focus
  • Innovative problem-solving and creative thinking
  • Loyalty, honesty and reliability

Neurodivergent people are an asset to your organisation. With the right support, neurodivergent people can thrive in the workplace and benefit your organisation.

By participating in the NDEI® your organisation can learn what good support looks like and become a leading neuroinclusive employer.

Deutsche Bank is continuously seeking to understand how best to support our teams, and the Neurodiversity Employers Index (NDEI®) provides a powerful framework within which we can continuously improve our practices to support our neurodivergent staff throughout their career.

Why organisations should support neurodiversity in the workplace

Although they have a lot to offer, many neurodivergent people face barriers to bringing their best and most productive selves to work or are overlooked during the application and interview process. Several of these barriers are easily removed with an improved understanding of neurodivergence, and policy changes and practices that are low-cost or free to implement.

Organisations know that they need to do more to be inclusive of neurodiversity in the workplace. But many don’t know where to start, and others are uncertain about how to make measurable year-on-year progress.

That’s where the NDEI® comes in.
