A series of polls: Neurodiversity in the workplace

Introduction to 30 Polls in 30 days Challenge: Neurodiversity in the workplace.

In October 2020, I challenged myself to run 30 polls in 30 days in Linkedin across the topic of #Neurodiversity hiring. As each poll closes I will post the results here. Alternatively, you can view the live polls and comments by using the hashtag # 30days_of_nd_questions. Each poll was open 2 weeks. I have included related links and referenced articles related to each poll.

Note: These polls were not raised to reflect any trends but mainly to promote discussion and thought on the topic of hiring Neurodivergents.

Can I still vote?

Yes you can. No registration required. Open polls are listed here at this hashtag. # 30days_of_nd_questions. You will need to scroll down to find them.

Poll #2

Some companies now champion Neurodiversity #Ultranauts, #SAP, #EY, #IBM, #DXC, #Westpac), a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. But how do they start?

In IBM - we really started the ND Community and Hiring initiative at the same time, in parallel. But I know a lot of companies are focus on building stakeholders and trust first.

Poll #3

Some companies limit their view of who to include when considering neurodiversity - some enterprises have a limited view. How inclusive is your company of Neurodivergents?
