In a world where it is reported that only 22%* of autistic adults are in full-time paid employment and 45%* of people have lost or left their job because of challenges caused by autism coupled with the recruitment challenges faced across all sectors it has never been more important to put the ‘neuro’ into ‘diversity and inclusion in the workplace’.
Sponsored by Law At Work; and in partnership with Autism Guernsey and Guernsey Employment Trust (GET); this session aims to introduce interactive real-life experiences of neurotypical workplaces, why it’s important to foster neuro inclusivity, and how we can go about making our businesses more attractive places to work for this under-represented sector of society.
Speakers: Alison Rimington, Senior HR Business Manager, Law at Work CI; Nikki Ioannou-Droushiotis, Chief Executive, GET; Julia Watts, Service Manager, Autism Guernsey and an individual with lived experience of Autism.
