While employers worldwide are placing emphasis on disability hiring, for many there remains a sense of uncertainty as to how individuals with autism can be implemented successfully into their workforce. It’s true that neurodiverse employees may need additional support and understanding in order to succeed, but the benefits of having a diverse workforce speak for themselves and can ultimately influence public perception of your employer brand for the better. Join neurodiversity activist, Haley Moss, for a one-hour webinar as she discusses what exactly ‘neurodiverse’ means, as well as:

- What benefits you can expect from having a neurodiverse workforce
- Which accommodations may be necessary in order to recruit and retain neurodiverse individuals in your workforce
- How the future of diversity in the workplace is taking shape and what that means for neurodiverse individuals looking for employment, as well as the employers looking to hire them

Join us in celebration of World Autism Month as we shine a light on the invaluable effort and skill of the neurodiverse society in the workplace!
