« A faire »

1. Establish Neurodiversity Support Networks

Create dedicated networks or champion groups (like the EMEA Neurodiversity Champion Network) that represent neurodiverse employees at all levels and provide trained support on neurodiversity-related matters. This helps ensure neurodiverse employees have advocates and resources within the organization.

2. Offer Tailored Awareness and Education Programs

Launch neurodiversity awareness programs using varied learning methodologies (storytelling, panel discussions, expert-led workshops, learning hubs) and provide on-demand content (articles, videos, webinars) to deepen understanding and reduce stigma. This fosters a culture of acceptance and inclusion.

3. Promote Inclusive Career Opportunities

Intentionally provide career opportunities for people with autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and other forms of cognitive diversity. Ensure recruitment, development, and retention practices are accessible and supportive for neurodiverse talent.

« Ne pas faire »

1.Do Not Assume One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

Avoid generic approaches to inclusion that overlook the unique needs of neurodiverse employees. Neurodiversity requires tailored support, not just broad DE&I policies.

2. Do Not Ignore Employee Feedback

Failing to listen to neurodiverse employees’ viewpoints can result in missed opportunities for improvement and lower engagement. Regularly seek feedback and act on it to ensure the environment remains supportive.


3. Do Not Limit Awareness to Single Events

Avoid treating neurodiversity as a “tick-box” topic with one-off events or campaigns. Sustained, ongoing education and support are necessary to embed neurodiversity into the company culture.
