Attracting, Retaining, and Accommodating Neurodiverse Employees
Recorded On: 10/24/2022
- Registration Closed
Neurodiversity is the belief that neurological conditions like autism spectrum disorder should be recognized and respected instead of viewed as flaws or defects. Neurodiverse individuals are often left out of the employment market due to stigma or misperceptions about their abilities, resulting in an 85 percent unemployment rate among college graduates with autism spectrum disorder. How can an organization embrace neurodiversity and attract neurodiverse talent? In this campfire discussion, panelists will share their best practices for retooling hiring processes, making accommodations, and re-envisioning a post-COVID workplace.
This on-demand program is not eligible for CLE/CPD credit.
