Session
Human brains are wired differently. In the tech industry, it’s particularly common to meet neurodivergent people – such as those with ADHD, Autism, or who identify as Highly Sensitive People (HSP). When given the right environment neurodivergent individuals offer superpowers many companies are dreaming of: hyper-focus, spotting patterns, empathy, strong intuition, and creativity.
It’s time to stop seeing neurodivergence as a deficit and start consciously managing the neurological setting of your workforce. Embracing neurodiversity not only helps address mental health challenges and improve business outcomes. It’s a competitive advantage in business. Companies that leverage the strengths of a neurodiverse team are better equipped to innovate, solve complex problems, and thrive in an ever-changing world.
