Ben, the automotive industry charity, has launched a free online neurodiversity training programme called Embracing Neurodiversity, during National Inclusion Week.
According to Ben’s Health & Wellbeing survey, 1 in 7 automotive workers identify as neurodivergent.
These workers are significantly more likely to report low mood, anxiety-related symptoms, workplace stress and difficulties managing their mental health, with comments suggesting that pressure, communication challenges and feeling misunderstood can compound existing challenges.
The training, created by Evolved Business Support, is designed to help automotive workers better understand neurodiversity and create more inclusive and supportive workplaces across the industry.
The practical programme explores ADHD, autism and dyslexia, helping colleagues understand how neurodivergence can influence the way people think, communicate and experience the workplace.
The free training can be completed online at any time and is designed to provide colleagues with practical guidance they can apply in their day-to-day roles. Through real-life examples, practical advice and a simple checklist, learners will explore how small changes can make a meaningful difference to colleagues, customers and teams.
