Neurodiversity, wellbeing and the workplace with Jenny Turner
Workplace wellbeing is about creating environments where people can do their best work without compromising their health, energy or sense of belonging. For the 15–20% of people who are neurodivergent - such as those with ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and more - that often depends on whether work has been designed with different ways of thinking, processing and communicating in mind.
Please join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Jenny Turner of Human Fabric, exploring the connection between neurodiversity and workplace wellbeing. This webinar will help wellbeing professionals to better understand the everyday barriers that can undermine wellbeing for neurodivergent employees, and what organisations can do to create more supportive, sustainable and inclusive work environments.
