Neurodiversity in Business (NiB) - the Neurodiversity Charity
Neurodiversity in Business (NiB) is an industry forum that seeks to improve the inclusion of neurodivergent people in the workforce. Led by neurodivergent experts and those with direct experience of neurodiversity from across the business community, NiB works with leading global businesses by sharing best practice. Importantly, those who are actually neurodivergent are key to this organisation to ensure that NiB keeps true to the aims of the neurodivergent community. NiB’s mission is to help develop a more inclusive workplace. Whether it is ensuring a better hiring process that does not exclude neurodivergent candidates, to helping identify easy modifications to the workplace environment that can support sustainable employment opportunities. By ensuring a more neurodiverse workforce, businesses are not simply fulfilling some corporate social responsibility programme; they materially and commercially benefit. Those from a neurodivergent background can contribute in meaningful ways to business growth through their single-mindedness, attention to detail, innovative thinking patterns, diligence and creativity. They do however require better support than is currently available – and that is where NiB can help. We know that businesses are under pressure as never before to do more for the world they operate in. But we also know that by bringing businesses together, this can be addressed effectively and ensure that everyone benefits: businesses; neurodivergent individuals and society at large.
