Neurodiversity + Mental Wellbeing

1/7 PEOPLE ARE NEURODIVERSE

It is estimated that around 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent, meaning their brain functions, learns and processes information differently to what is considered standard or typical.

What Is Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity refers to the natural variations in the human brain and includes, among other things, Attention Deficit Disorders and Autism.

A diverse workforce comes with diverse thinkers each with a spectrum of mental health states and abilities that need to be supported in the workplace. Organizations can create workplaces that support neurodiversity and mental wellbeing, allowing employees to work and achieve in their own way, by offering a diverse collection of supportive spaces.

Meditation Spaces

Meditation spaces offer employees a minimalist setting with plenty of uncluttered space for mental clarity and emotional regulation. The space may include comfortable soft seating for relaxation, or yoga mats and bolsters for meditation and stretching. CONFIDENTIAL HEDGE FUND, NEW YORK,

PRIVATE & SEMI-PRIVATE SPACES

Workplaces are often hubs of activity that can be noisy and distracting for those who prefer to work in quiet environments, and especially for those neurodiverse individuals with attention deficit disorders. Workplaces that offer enclosed or semienclosed spaces with acoustical mitigation can effectively address these challenges. Spaces may include privacy pods and booths, as well as seating strategically situated away from high-traffic areas. Global FinTech Firm

REJUVENATION & RELAXATION SPACES

Neurodivergent individuals can easily become overstimulated and overwhelmed in a busy and noisy workplace. In addition to modern amenities such as cafes and game rooms that allow employees to unwind, workplaces must provide multiple warm and welcoming lounge areas with comfortable seating where employees can relax and destress.
