Neurodivergent team members may find parts of their role trickier than other team members typically do. Equally they may find other parts easier and quicker to complete than other team members typically do. ? It can therefore be helpful if the rest of the team know that a colleague is neurodivergent, and what they can do to support them. A manager should discuss whether the team member is happy for the rest of the team to know, and if they are: ?? What they do and don't want their colleagues to know. ?? Who will be told, who will do the telling, where, when and how. ?? Whether they will be present. Managers must not tell other staff about an employee's neurodivergence without their agreement.

To get the best out of a neurodivergent employee, some flexibility in the tasks carried out within their team can be beneficial. A manager should organise the work of their team to ensure: ?? Everyone does their share of work, even if the tasks they carry out are different. ?? Difficulties are minimised or additional support provided. ?? Strengths are identified and utilised. Each team member has a variety of duties and feels motivated to perform at their best. Learn more about neurodiversity at work on our website: https://lnkd.in/eGD-WV9y #Neurodiversity #Workplace
