Here to Help: Understanding and Advocating for a Neurodiverse Workforce
May 12, 2021
In Here to Help, we’ll take a closer look at how working teams have responded to COVID-19 and adapted to the many changes it has brought to the world of work. The series features deep-dive conversations between CEO Chris Hyams and other leaders, addressing the impact and complexities of this truly unique situation.
The term neurodiversity refers to the infinite range of differences in individual human brain function and behavioral traits. Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation is, such as gender, race or sexual orientation. In this episode of Here to Help, Chris Hyams is joined by Peter McKenna, Indeed’s Head of Enterprise Data and Analytics. McKenna is an advocate for helping people with neurodiversity get jobs and encouraging employers to establish supporting environments and tools for employees. McKenna talks about the partnership that Indeed has in Ireland with Dublin City University to create a
toolkit for hiring managers and shares his own personal story about his son Christopher, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two.
