"Thrive With Neurodivergent Colleagues" is a Concise Book That Empowers Innovative Leaders to Think Deeply and Act Swiftly to Promote Neurodiversity

Vienna, VA, October 22, 2021 --(PR.com)-- This new book shows leaders how to work well with neurodivergent talent.

More and more leading companies are actively recruiting from an overlooked population - neurodivergent people. This talent pool includes many well educated, innovative, but underemployed people, many on the autism spectrum.

"Thrive With Neurodivergent Colleagues" is a concise workbook that empowers leaders to successfully recruit, hire and work well with neurodivergent talent. It provokes readers to think deeply and act swiftly to achieve full diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in their organizations.

Each chapter starts with a hypothetical scenario and ends with an exercise that’s based in design thinking and agile methodologies. Readers learn how to generate custom solutions to do the following:

- Redefine policies, plans, and procedures to include neurodivergent people
- Rethink recruiting, hiring, and onboarding to be fully inclusive
- Provide reasonable sensory and productivity accommodations
- Create a corporate culture of empathy that benefits everyone
- Understand the basics of the Americans with Disabilities Act
