With an estimated one in five corporate employees identifying as neurodivergent, the case for supporting diverse minds and perspectives has never been in more demand. As organizations increasingly value innovation and fresh ideas, bringing in expertise — from existing neurodivergent employees to external resources such as benefit brokers — presents a unique opportunity to lead the charge in redesigning inclusive, impactful benefits.

Empowering neurodivergent employees requires a fundamental shift in how companies approach workplace inclusion. These employees contribute different ways of thinking, moving, behaving, visualizing, communicating and processing sensory stimuli and emotions in the workplace.
