This week we hosted an inspiring company-wide event featuring Gijs Heidstra MCIPD, Jason Lioy, and guest speaker Mark Johnson, a Neurodiversity Advocate & Coach, to deepen our understanding of neurodiversity and the unique strengths it brings to our team. Here are a few key takeaways that stood out: ? Empathy and support go hand-in-hand. Understanding each other's unique ways of thinking helps us create a more supportive and productive workplace. ? Fostering a culture of diverse thinking. Embracing different ways of thinking strengthens our culture and drives our success together. ? Inclusive workplaces thrive. Neurodivergent individuals bring unique talents that are crucial to our success. Being neurodivergent is a strength, not a barrier. Thank you to Mark, Gijs, and Jason for inspiring such an impactful conversation. #Inclusion #Neurodiversity #DawnFoods
