Neurodiversity in Companies : Challenges and Opportunities for Neurodiverse Teams

An estimated 20% of humanity are neurodivergent. Their brains develop and function differently from those of the broader population. In recent years, awareness of neurodiversity has grown. At the same time, organizations are facing questions that challenge traditional understandings of collaboration at work. This book provides a foundation for anyone seeking basic knowledge or a new perspective on neurodivergence. Decision-makers, leaders, HR professionals, and consultants will find fresh insights to help their organizations gain a genuine competitive advantage in the labor market. In addition to theoretical background information, it includes both practical, research-based tips and solution-oriented approaches, addressing topics along the entire talent and employee journey. The book also covers areas such as collaboration, communication and inclusive language, diversity and inclusion (DEIB), disruptive thinking, as well as leadership and self management for neurodivergent leaders and employees. Likewise, those who are neurodivergent themselves and looking for ways to collaborate without compromising their well being will find inspiration for their own professional practice.
