Many factors go into your overall wellbeing both in and outside of work, from your diet and level of physical activity to more intangible elements, like your personal relationships and feelings of fulfilment with your work and career. However, there is one element that overarches all of these factors, and that’s sleep. Without plenty of quality rest, everything from your physical health to your relationships to your productivity and creativity suffers.

Creating a productive environment for Neurodiverse employees

Many modern workspaces exist to facilitate productivity and wellbeing. The shift in focus from pure output to the overall wellbeing of employees is a positive one, allowing companies to support their workforce and reap the benefits of a sustainable model. In general, happier employees equal productive teams and this theory is supported time and time again in research. 

The key is understanding how to make employees with various differences satisfied with their work environment. In this day and age, business leaders are well aware that a diverse workforce brings new perspectives; the benefits of bringing on board neurodiverse employees are far-reaching, allowing different skillsets to be expressed in the office.

This week, guest writer Katie Brenneman explores why and how companies can do more to cater to a neurodiverse workforce.
