Bosses must demonstrate their commitment to building positive cultures which enable neurodiverse colleagues to openly discuss their needs. The call has come from the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) in a new white paper and follows survey findings which highlight how people are unwilling to speak about neurodiversity at work.
According to an online poll, done in late 2023, 70 per cent of neurodiverse people said they hadn’t told their current employer about their condition. Meanwhile, 50 per cent of people said they wouldn’t declare it on a job application.
