Untapped Talent

A Practical Guide for Hiring and Retaining Neurodivergent Staff

About this book

How can employers develop their hiring processes for neurodivergent people and best support people with diverse neurotypes to thrive in the workplace?

Drawing on academic research and professional and lived experiences, Untapped Talent offers strategies for managers and allies to create a more inclusive workplace that empowers neurodivergent people with conditions including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.

Neurodivergent author Aron Mercer examines the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, as well as the strengths and unique perspectives they can bring.

Offering a roadmap for employers who seek to support neurodivergent employees, and create a more inclusive and diverse organisation, this book is ideal reading for students of Disability Studies, Psychology, and Business, as well as managers, HR professionals, and allies.
