Clarion Insight supports organisations in ensuring that all team members feel supported, valued, and empowered, particularly during times of change. As we guide organisational transitions, we are mindful of the unique needs of neurodivergent employees. Here are some of the ways we help organisations prioritise the mental health and well-being of neurodivergent employees: 🤝 Open Communication: Open communication can help to mitigate uncertainty in times of change. Sharing transparent updates about changes within the company and how they may impact team members is a great place to start. We assist companies in doing this through our Strategic Communications service. ⏰ Providing Predictability: During significant organisational changes, providing routine and predictability where you can is especially crucial for neurodivergent colleagues. This may look like offering clear timelines and structured plans to reduce anxiety and uncertainty, or even just communicating what will remain unchanged and reliable throughout the process. 💼 Relationship Intelligence: Understanding social interactions can pose challenges for neurodivergent individuals in the workplace, sometimes hindering them from seeking support. By conducting relationship intelligence workshops, organisations can establish a common language for addressing difficult situations, making it more accessible for neurodivergent individuals to seek assistance. Supporting neurodivergent team members is an ongoing journey. We are continuously learning and improving our approach to ensure we provide the best support possible. To learn more about how Clarion Insight prioritises people in our work, visit our website at Clarioninsight.com. When people thrive, the organisation thrives too. #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #MentalHealthMatters
