BenefitsPRO covers why growing numbers of businesses and non-profits are offering neurodiversity benefits, in this article by Connie Donnelly of Rethink Benefits. She notes more than 25 percent of Fortune 100 companies provide neurodiversity benefits, and efforts to hire neurodiverse workers are also on the rise.
“These trends are not happening simply because it’s the right thing to do. Employers are discovering that supporting neurodiversity is good for business,” writes Donnelly, Vice President of Business Development.
Her article includes a brief a primer on neurodiversity and neurodiversity benefits, plus discusses how companies are increasingly relying on these benefits as a result of the pandemic.
“COVID-19’s disruption of home and work routines proved a major event for many, with employees and managers reporting heightened levels of stress,” she adds.
