Sharing is an individual’s journey. There are a myriad of reasons people might not want to share: - Additional discrimination - not getting promoted (or another reason not to) - Feeling that you don’t belong -Psychological safety #workplace #culture #neurodiversity
We’ve been hearing far too many stories recently where: - a person discloses neurodivergence to their manager - their manager doesn’t know what the process is, or what’s expected of them - in their attempts to help, the manager tells a whole bunch of people (their own manager, HR, etc) about the individual’s diagnosis Not training your staff and not having adequate policies in place are not excuses for sharing sensitive personal information The vulnerability and bravery your neurodivergent employee showed in disclosing to you is an honour. Act accordingly. _ _ _ _ _ Image description: patterned background with a text box that reads: a person’s neurodivergence is highly sensitive personal data, protected by law. It is not yours to disclose #neurodiversity #dei #adhd #NeurodiversityAtWork #ActuallyAutistic
