Together we can create workplaces where everyone can thrive.
About Us
OUR CORE MISSION IS TO CREATE LASTING IMPACT THROUGH COLLABORATION AND SHARED COMMITMENT TO NEUROINCLUSION.
Work’n’Diversity is a specialist neurodivergent-led CIC whose aim is advancing employment outcomes for neurodivergent individuals through expert-led training, coaching, and consultancy. Our approach blends professional expertise with lived experience and more than 10 years in the field of supporting neurodivergent people.
Through joint initiatives, research, and community engagement, we strive to increase awareness, drive policy change, and create tangible opportunities for neurodivergent employees, students, and professionals. By embedding inclusive practices into workplaces, schools, and universities, we position our partners as leaders in neuroinclusive best practices, fostering equitable opportunities and meaningful change.
Why did we take on this mission?
OUR STORY | CORE MISSION
At Work’n’Diversity, we started with lived experience. As a team shaped by neurodivergence — autistic, ADHD, and proud — we’ve seen first-hand how the world of work often fails to include people like us. We’ve watched too many neurodivergent adults be sidelined, overlooked, or pushed out of jobs that simply weren’t built with us in mind.
We knew something had to change — and we weren’t going to wait for someone else to fix it. We created Work’n’Diversity to challenge that status quo. Our mission is to build workplaces where neurodivergent people are not just included, but genuinely supported and empowered to thrive.
We bring together lived experience, psychological insight, and practical solutions to help organisations move from tick-box inclusion to real, meaningful change. Because we know inclusion isn’t about lowering expectations — it’s about removing the barriers that were never meant to be there in the first place.
