CHRO, Zurich UK - 51% of neurodiverse adults fear disclosure. Here's how we're breaking the stigma

Research from insurance giant Zurich has revealed that 51% of neurodivergent UK adults fear disclosure, with half of respondents reporting discrimination during a hiring process.

Accordingly, Zurich UK’s Chief Human Resources Officer Steve Collinson is overseeing major advancements within the company including free assessments, awareness training, sensory maps, job description reviews, and more.

By creating a more inclusive, welcoming, and equitable place to work for neurodiverse people, and sharing the significant research findings, Collinson hopes to encourage a better future of work for all neurodiverse adults. He joins the HR Grapevine podcast to discuss the report, and outline in more depth his plans for supporting neurodiverse adults at Zurich.
