Recommendation

Neurodiversity initiatives have proven their value at leading organizations such as SAP, HPE and Microsoft. In an insightful white paper, EY senior strategy consultant Ben Cooke outlines the case for hiring individuals with dyslexia – an increasingly smart strategy as the workplace shifts to favor the strengths these employees offer. EY produced the paper in association with Made By Dyslexia, a nonprofit organization helping the world understand, value and support dyslexia.

Take-Aways

  • Dyslexia affects learning and processing information for one in ten people.
  • The workplace is shifting to favor creativity, problem-solving and social competencies.
  • As a result, workplace needs are becoming an even better match for dyslexic workers’ strengths.
