“Ensuring Access and Success of Neurodivergent Talent in the Workplace"
September 2022
A much needed discussion is to be had about the diverse group who even though ‘thinks-outside-of-the-box’ are kept in the box by those who fail to realize why they are different. From onboarding and professional development to mentorship and nurturing, Neurodivergent Talent can thrive. They are meant to deliver exceptional results in unique ways that we need to be aware of.
The real question is whether we are doing enough or are we really being true allies by grooming neurodiverse talent into future leaders and work towards inclusivity.
Watch how we at DIFEST Global strives to raise awareness and solutions to tackle it

If the purchasing power of the estimated $3.7 trillion global LGBTQ+ market is the only thing driving your inclusion strategy, you’re probably doing it wrong.

Many businesses struggle with the development of an effective inclusion strategy because they don’t know how to measure success in this important area.
