Exec Director of HR, PSEG: How our 'Neurodiversity Works' program drove a 200% increase in disability self-disclosure

A reported 19% of adults identify as neurodiverse, with the true percentage likely much higher.

But many neurodiverse individuals continue to experience discrimination and a lack of support during interview processes and while at work. One organization doing its part to tackle that is energy company Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG).

Joining us for the first HR Grapevine US podcast episode of 2025 is Steven Fleischer, Executive Director of HR - DEI, Talent Acquisition at PSEG.

He shares more about the firm’s ‘Neurodiversity Works’ program; how it has reshaped the company’s approach to hiring and the employee experience for neurodiverse individuals; and the hugely positive impact of the project, including a 200% increase in disability self-disclosure by employees.

    I love this program for neurodiverse employees! Definitely something other companies should do too.
