"These are individuals who may have exceptional skills and unparalleled abilities yet because of traditional ways of working, we are missing out on the brilliance they can bring to UK business,"

"It is seen as a potential competitive advantage to leverage the unique talents of a diverse workforce. We've brought in talent that others may have overlooked in the past and they are accelerating our innovation and productivity," he says…With minimal accommodations in the company's policies and processes, we were able to integrate Autism at Work into the mainstream company processes and was able to achieve ~90% retention of the employees in the programme.”

“Other companies have found similar results in terms of time and money saved as a result of the work done by their neurodiverse teams. For instance, managers at JPMorgan Chase have found that autistic workers are 90 to 140 per cent more productive than their neurotypical counterparts. In the same vein, when neurodiverse employees restructured an automation process in one of their business areas, they saved Ernst & Young approximately 800 hours of work, which translated into $100,000 or Rs 75 lakh”
Let us help you to end this discrimination
Half (49 per cent) of neurodivergent adults have been discriminated against by a hiring manager or recruiter because of their neurodiversity, research by Zurich has revealed.
According to the survey of 1,000 neurodivergent adults, almost a third (31 per cent) had been rejected from a role after disclosing their neurodivergence, while 28 per cent were turned down for subjective reasons such as communication style or team fit. A further one in six (16 per cent) had had a job offer rescinded.
Additionally, as many as a quarter (25 per cent) had been ‘ghosted’ after disclosing their neurodivergence, and 27 per cent said hiring managers had commented on their abilities.'
