Why Inclusion Isn't Optional Anymore

Inclusion Matters

Neurodivergent employees bring unique strengths, insights, and perspectives. But without thoughtful supports, their potential can be missed — and so can yours.

Research shows that inclusive workplaces:

Improve team retention
Increase innovation and creativity
Reduce burnout across the entire staff

Inclusion isn't just the right thing to do. It's essential for a thriving, ethical workplace.
