A successful organization is one that empowers each and every individual to thrive, no matter the task at hand. Organizations that understand how to approach neurodiversity within the workplace not only reap the rewards of a diverse workforce but also gain benefits when it comes to compliance and regulatory issues. After all, if your learning experiences don’t accommodate your neurodivergent employees, how can you expect those team members to comply with your mandates to complete the required training on time?

Know your audience
As an organization, you must be aware of neurodiversity and inclusion in every aspect of day-to-day work. Building a neuro-inclusive culture requires considering not just the highs, such as career progression, but also those mundane tasks. Does anything come to mind? You bet, compliance training!
Stop taking the rigid compliance approach
Compliance challenges almost every regulated business. You may know the phrase “herding cats”. Well, that’s typically used to describe how L&D leaders feel about compliance. It’s a pain to chase people to complete training, figure out what’s needed for the audits, and understand who’s responsible for what, all to keep up with regulatory standards. But it’s a mandatory pain; without it, your business cannot do what it does best.
Read our case study with Aston Martin to see how compliance can make or break their future.
We tend to think of compliance as a ‘tick in the box’; ensure everyone completes that same bit of training, and then you’re done. But as we’ve discovered, not everyone in your workforce is the same. What is one simple training course for one colleague is a different challenge to another. As an organisation, you need to achieve your compliance goals. However, that doesn’t mean you need rigid, compliant rules. So, what is the solution?
Every organization needs an effective partnership to support the growth of an inclusive culture for its neurodiverse workforce while achieving regulatory objectives.
Every organization needs Learn LMS.
