Description

As organisations and individuals realise the importance of building both their understanding of neurodiversity and their capability around neuro-inclusion, Sasha is joined in conversation by Matt Boyd. Matt is the founder of Exceptional Individuals a trailblazing organisation providing neurodiversity consulting to employers, while offering recruitment and employment support to those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and autism. Matt shares his personal experience of dyslexia, the shame he initially carried, and how dyslexia impacted his job-seeking journey. And we learn how this experience inspired him to provide practical support to others. We discuss the role Exceptional Individuals play in helping candidates to understand their neuro-divergent profile, and the importance, both for individuals and employers, of focusing on strength areas as well as challenging areas. Matt discusses the barriers faced by neurodivergent job-seekers, what has inspired the shift in openness and interest in neurodiversity in the workplace. Whether you are an employer who is relatively early in your journey to support neurodivergent job-seekers, or an individual who is looking for personal insights and tips, this episode offers a range of exceptionally valuable insights.To learn more about Inclusive Group and our comprehensive solutions for fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, visit inclusivegroup.co.uk/solutions.
