Diversity & Inclusion | Five lessons from an award-winning neurodiversity support programme

Most HR and benefits leaders don't need convincing that neurodiversity support matters. Around 15% of the UK workforce is neurodivergent, and NHS diagnostic waits often run past two years.

BNP Paribas built something, and won an award for it. Lauren Lunniss, the bank's Health & Wellbeing Lead, put together a programme that moved from "we suspect there's a gap" to a measurable shift in culture and retention. How she did it is worth picking apart and learning from.
