Neurodiversity | What employers get wrong about ADHD support, and how coaching can help

When Bahar Khorram took a senior role at global IT consultancy Capgemini, she was upfront about having ADHD. A workplace needs assessment followed, recommending coaching and neurodiversity training to help her thrive in the role. But according to a recent employment tribunal, those adjustments never materialised.
