Neurodiversity Workplace Needs Assessment: Unlocking Neurodivergent Potential with Salusphere Global
Transform Your Workplace. Unlock Your Talent.
In today’s competitive environment, securing and retaining diverse talent is a strategic imperative. Neurodivergent individuals—those with conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or dyspraxia—often possess exceptional strengths in areas such as innovation, problem-solving, and attention to detail.
However, without the right environment and reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent employees, these strengths can be overshadowed by preventable workplace barriers.
As specialists in Wellbeing and Inclusion solutions for SMEs, Salusphere Global provides the critical tool you need: a tailored Neurodiversity Workplace Needs Assessment. This proactive process moves beyond mere compliance, creating an inclusive culture where every employee can perform at their best and thrive.
What is a Neurodiversity Workplace Needs Assessment?
A Workplace Needs Assessment (WNA) is a focused evaluation designed to identify the specific reasonable adjustments necessary for a neurodivergent employee to perform effectively in their role. Crucially, the process concentrates on the individual’s NEEDS rather than a medical diagnosis.
Our Certified Expertise
Our assessments are conducted by Certified Neurodiversity Workplace Needs (NWN) Assessors. Every Salusphere Global certified neurodiversity assessor holds an accredited OCN Level 4 qualification in this specialty, ensuring they bring a blend of regulated training and practical expertise to every case. This expertise allows us to provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for reasonable adjustments for neurodivergent employees in the workplace.
Our 3-Step Assessment Process
The neurodiversity workplace needs assessment is a confidential, person-centred journey designed to be efficient and effective for both the employee and the organisation.
- Information Gathering The process begins with pre-meeting questionnaires completed by both the employee and their manager. This provides us with a foundational understanding of the role, existing challenges, and current coping strategies.
- Individual and Manager Meeting Our certified assessor holds a confidential discussion with the employee to explore their workplace experiences and barriers in detail. A separate, focused conversation is held with the line manager to understand the organisational context and objectives.
- Report Delivery Following the assessment, you receive a detailed, practical report. This report outlines bespoke, recommended reasonable adjustments across four key areas:
- Technology: Assistive software, specialised equipment, or digital tools.
- Work Schedule: Flexible hours or structured break patterns.
- Environment: Quiet workspaces, lighting adjustments, or other sensory accommodations.
- Support: Strategy coaching, mentoring, or clear communication protocols.
The Unmistakable Return on Investment (ROI)
Implementing a Workplace Needs Assessment for neurodivergent employees is not simply an HR box-ticking exercise; it is a clear investment in your business success. For employers, the benefits of providing proper support are measurable and transformative:
- 33% Productivity Boost: Organisations see an average improvement in productivity when proper, tailored adjustments are implemented.
- 85% Retention Rate: Neurodivergent employees who receive proper support exhibit significantly higher retention rates, protecting your investment in training and experience.
- 100% Legal Compliance: Our assessments ensure your organisation is meeting its duties under the Equality Act 2010 by proactively identifying and addressing the need for reasonable adjustments.
By taking action, you unlock the full potential of your diverse workforce, foster a culture of belonging and innovation, and secure a reputation as an employer of choice.
