DESCRIPTION: REGISTER \n\n\n\n\n\nCreating a more inclusive working environment that embraces neurodiversity – why fostering diversity of thought can lead to greater innovation and creativity in the workplace. \n\n\n\nAs companies ramp up their focus on Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)\, there is one group that is all too often overlooked in the diversity conversation and when hiring.
