As the modern workforce becomes increasingly aware and inclusive of neurodiversity—with 1 in 5 individuals now identifying as neurodivergent—employers must evolve their benefits strategies to meet the professional and personal needs of all employees. This panel will explore how forward-thinking organizations are implementing benefits programs that support neurodiverse employees in meaningful, practical ways—while also providing tools that elevate performance and well-being across the entire workforce.

Panelists will discuss tailored support for executive function skills like time management, productivity, relationship building, and task prioritization. On the personal front, the discussion will highlight the value of coaching to help employees navigate daily challenges and transitions. These tools, while designed with neurodiverse individuals in mind, have wide-reaching impacts and can drive broader employee engagement, retention, and satisfaction.

Key Talking Points for Panelists:

  • Executive Function Support in the Workplace
  • Personal Coaching through Board Certified Behaviour Analysts
  • Privacy & Compliance: Delivering Support in a HIPAA
  • Compliant Way -Broader Applicability: Tools for All Employees
  • Implementation and Scalability for Large Employers
  • The ROI of investing in neurodiverse employees with the right benefits and training 
  • The importance of having a diverse workplace, when that idea is under more scrutiny than ever
