Designing Nonprofit Workplaces Where Neurodivergent Talent Can Thrive

In this session, HR leaders and practitioners will learn the basics of neurodiversity, including common language, diagnoses and conditions, and experiences of the neurodivergent professional.
From there, we'll discuss potential barriers the traditional recruitment process might present for neurodivergent applicants and ways to mitigate them. Finally, we'll wrap up with ways to retain these talented individuals, including accessible accommodations.

As part of our workforce initiative A Force for Good, we are pleased to launch a new quarterly Nonprofit HR Forum for you to meet with your peers for presentations and discussions on high-level issues affecting our nonprofit workforce. These in-person meetings will be open nonprofit staff with HR responsibilities in their role. Each quarter's topic will be announced in advance, based on interest expressed by participants.

We are very grateful to our friends at Clark Schaefer Strategic HR for helping us launch this new offering.
