Description

The importance of neurodiversity in the workplace has gained popularity in recent years. Companies can access a pool of distinctive skills and viewpoints that can stimulate innovation, creativity, and productivity by embracing neurodiversity in the workplace. This chapter examines the idea of neurodiversity in relation to hiring and retaining talent, emphasizing the advantages for both companies and workers. It covers methods for establishing welcoming environments at work that support neurodiverse workers and help them reach their full potential. It also looks at how corporate culture, HR regulations, and leadership all contribute to creating a welcoming workplace for individuals who are neurodiverse. Companies can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion at the workplace in addition to attracting and retaining neurodiverse employees (NDEs). A conceptual framework has been proposed to demonstrate the influence of various factors like awareness, perceived benefits, accommodation, organizational policy, stigma, and unconscious bias on retention of NDEs. 2024, IGI Global.
