Does your company consider or take neurodiversity seriously? - at least for people who suffer occasionally, but are high performers.

Can you expand on the question🧐

What is neurodiversity from a corporate perspective?

The post is still there, sitting right under your question!

KPMG1’s question is specific and elicits an appropriate response. Broadly, it’s companies that take mental health seriously, and recognize it’s importance at par with other debilitating conditions.

In some cases, it includes specific recruitment programs designed to help a broad range - from those on the spectrum through to suffering from depression.

Skills aside, roles and accommodations are provided based on the nature and intensity of the condition. E.g.
- One could be a star performer, but may need time off for treatment occasionally.
- Some may be great at certain types of programming such as finding patterns in big data, but may struggle to do other associated tasks

If my company isn't doing super well with women or underrepresented minorities (in the context of the USA), I would doubt neurodiversity is seriously considered.

However, if a high performer needs formal work accommodations, FMLA or something else similar, that can be arranged.

Understood, from what I know GT is not that bad. They are at least trying on some fronts. It’s hard for that big a firm to change overnight.

Of course not.

Ah, thanks.

Anyone who can recommend a driving school/package? I can see several websites such as Passmefast and Red Driving school, so not sure of how to select. I am a beginner so ideally I’d like some theory and many hours of driving lessons. I am based in East London. Cost is also a factor… the prices here are extortionate compared to my home country.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
