Program Overview

Employee performance is driven by employees understanding how to achieve success. The communication challenges that lie at the heart of neurodiversity can make alignment on goals and expectations virtually impossible. Neuroinclusive best practices target employees who are autistic, ADHD, anxious, etc., but can be applied globally for the benefit of all employees and leaders. In this session, you will learn the basics of neurodiversity, key areas of challenge in performance management, and basic strategies in goal setting, feedback, expectations, and strategy to create an environment where all employees can do their best.
