The No BS Office

We delve into the complex world of unwritten rules and how they shape, and sometimes distort, our workplace dynamics. Dr. Grace Lordan is joined by a panel of experts who unpack the invisible codes of conduct that everyone seems to know, except when you're the new kid on the block. From the subtle cues about lunchtime etiquette to the silent expectations of communication, these unspoken norms can be a minefield for the uninitiated, and even more so for neurodivergent individuals. We explore the tangible steps organisations can take to create a more transparent, communicative, and inclusive culture.
