Neurodiversity in the Workplace presents a timely and needed
perspective on the role and responsibility of employers and those
working to increase the effectiveness of workplace practices to
examine the many ways we preclude large segments of the population
from employment; minimizing opportunities for building a truly
inclusive work environment. This collection provides an opportunity to
look at how discrimination can occur across the employment process and
what can be done to minimize the exclusionary practices that prevent
neurodiverse individuals from getting into the workplace, advancing,
thriving, and contributing as each of us desires to do. With expertise
from leading professionals, this book provides a holistic look at the
application of leadership theories in a neurodiverse context and how
the workplace can be adapted to accommodate for neurodiverse
employees. This book also explores effective recruitment strategies by
looking into applicant screening as well as interviewing and
selection, adapting internal organizational resources to a
neurodiverse workforce, and legal and regulatory environment
considerations for autism hiring programs. Each chapter provides an
overview of existing knowledge on effective workplace inclusion
practices across the employment process, specific implications of
research to date for a more neurodiversity-inclusive workplace, and
what future research is needed to further inform these practices. This
volume is intended to increase awareness about the challenges and
opportunities in making the workplace more neurodiversity-inclusive,
making it instrumental for I/O and other psychologists. This book is
also crucial for management and business consultants; employers;
diversity, equity, and inclusion specialists; human resource
professionals; and others interested in neurodiversity inclusion more
broadly.
