Practical Training to Build Confidence and Capability in the Workplace
Our employer training helps organisations better understand neurodiversity and disability in the workplace, supporting managers and teams to work more effectively with neurodivergent colleagues. Training is practical, evidence-based and designed to improve day-to-day confidence, communication and decision-making.
We work with employers across sectors to support inclusive working practices, reduce workplace challenges and create environments where people can perform at their best.
Why Employer Training Matters
Managers are often expected to support neurodivergent employees without having the knowledge, tools or confidence to do so effectively. Our training helps employers:
-
Improve understanding of neurodiversity and disability at work
-
Build manager confidence when supporting employees
-
Reduce misunderstandings, conflict and performance issues
-
Support retention and employee wellbeing
-
Meet Equality Act responsibilities in a practical, proportionate way
Training is grounded in real workplace experience and focuses on what works in practice, not theory.
“The training provided practical guidance we could apply immediately. It has reduced workplace issues, improved manager confidence, and helped us support employees more effectively.”
