Workplaces That Work, Part 3: Accommodations That Actually Help Workplace accommodations for neurodivergent adults begin with understanding the person, the work and what gets in the way. Stephen Harrison explores the difference between essential outcomes and habitual working methods, and why identical treatment does not always create equal opportunity. Examples include quieter working environments, written instructions, visible priorities and flexibility where the role allows it. The discussion also considers when support becomes taking over, why a diagnosis does not prescribe an accommodation, and how employees and employers can develop solutions together. An accommodation can begin as something to trial and review rather than a perfect answer. Go to ThrivalCoaching.nz for additional information and resources. Play Episode
