Neurodiversity | How HR can 'spark a conversation' around ADHD

New guidance has been published to help employers understand the neurodevelopmental condition attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and what they can do to make their workplace more inclusive.

In the DMA Talent: ADHD Employer Guide published by The Data & Marketing Association (DMA) it also shared case studies written by professionals with ADHD on useful coping mechanisms they apply to potentially problematic areas in the workplace.

With ADHD affecting around three per cent of adults, the guide also shared best practice tips on how to make the workplace more ‘ADHD friendly’.

“Even though organisations are increasingly looking at ways to address broader diversity and neurodiversity in the workplace, they must start adopting practices that will make them become more inclusive workplaces,” said Kate Burnett, General Manager, DMA Talent and Co-Author of the ADHD Employer Guide.
