Psychological Safety

‘As a company, we want to take neurodivergent employees into account… but they don’t tell us anything about their diagnoses!’

This is a common observation during lectures or workshops. HR managers and team leads increasingly understand the importance of neuro-inclusive approaches and processes, but sometimes stumble over the fact that their employees do not disclose their diagnoses.

We often receive questions like: “Does allowing reasonable accommodations for neurodivergent colleagues not lead to jealousy among others? Why do some prefer to keep their diagnosis to themselves? How can we express what we need without fear of retaliation or being overprotected? How do we prevent friction and miscommunication in our diverse team?” Psychological safety is always at the foundation of the solution to these questions.
