About the session:

In this one-hour webinar, we explore the significance of understanding and embracing neurodiversity within the workplace. We begin by defining neurodiversity and highlighting its importance in creating an inclusive work environment. We discuss legal and ethical considerations, such as the Equality Act 2010 and the duty to make reasonable adjustments, to ensure compliance and support for neurodivergent individuals.

Throughout the webinar, we delve into the benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace, including enhanced innovation, improved team dynamics, and increased employee satisfaction. We also address challenges related to identification, disclosure, and stigma, offering practical solutions to overcome these obstacles.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand legal obligations and ethical considerations related to neurodiversity in the UK workplace

• Appreciate the advantages of embracing neurodiversity, including innovation and improved team dynamics

• Learn practical strategies for creating an inclusive work environment supporting neurodivergent individuals

About the speaker:

The Course will be run by Kerris Earle of Zing 365.

I am a compliance professional with 9 years’ experience in highly regulated environments in a variety of roles. With 5 years’ experience in compliance and governance positions across insurance and fundraising. I chose compliance as my specialism as I enjoy topics that require critical thinking, ethical consideration, interpretation of regulation/legislation, and that offer challenge in an environment subject to change.

My knowledge and experience coupled with my passion and approach to compliance as a collaborative cross-organisational function, moving away from compliance as a “tick box exercise”, has helped shape and support organisations to succeed whilst still offering protection from financial and reputational damage.

Training, learning and development and offering guidance on complicated topics in simple understandable terms has always been my favourite part of my previous roles, and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, experience, and expertise to allow others to develop and grow.
