WEBINAR - Supporting Neurodiversity at Work:
An Empathy Based Approach©
presented by Ajit Dodani
Join us for an empowering webinar where we will explore the compelling case for embracing neurodiversity in the workplace. In this session, we will delve into the unique strengths and perspectives that neurodiverse individuals bring to organizations and discuss strategies to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment.
Neurodiversity encompasses a range of neurological differences, such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. Unfortunately, many workplaces have yet to fully tap into the potential of neurodiverse talent, leading to missed opportunities for both individuals and organizations. By neglecting to support neurodiverse employees, companies inadvertently perpetuate a system that stifles innovation, hampers creativity, and limits overall productivity.
This workshop is a “Level 1 Workshop” from EmpathifyU’s learning pathway “Supporting Neurodiverse Talent at Work.” Participants will gain an introductory understanding and awareness of the challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals in the workplace and how to create a culture of acceptance and support.
Join us for this workshop and unlock the power of neurodiversity in your workplace. We can create an inclusive and supportive environment where ALL employees thrive and feel like they belong.

- Understanding Neurodiversity: Participants will develop an introductory understanding of neurodiversity, including the different conditions it encompasses, the strengths associated with these conditions, and the potential challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals in the workplace.

From adjusting communication styles and providing reasonable accommodations to promoting diversity and reducing stigma, attendees will gain actionable insights to make their workplaces more inclusive.
