“Thinking, attention, memory and behaviour can all be different for someone who is neurodivergent.”  And with around 20% of the population being neurodivergent, it’s time for a conversation on how L&D can better support employees. Hayley Brackley, Neurodiversity Specialist and founder of Great Minds Don’t, joined us to have that conversation. From day-to-day actions we can all take to build a better culture to how we build live sessions and resources, this episode is packed with tangible lessons you can apply today.
