Exploring the topic of ADHD in the workplace

About this event

Cheryl Winter of Creased Puddle explores ADHD at work. With 15 years’ neurodiversity experience, she brings insight and authenticity.

Cheryl Winter of Creased Puddle will be exploring the topic of ADHD in the workplace. Cheryl has 15 years’ experience as a director, coach and facilitator within the field of Neurodiversity. She has presented around the topic of neurodiversity previously with the CIPD – her authentic and entertaining approach brings a lightness to this topic.

We will look to have conversations around:

• The wider umbrella of neurodiversity and specific ADHD traits. Where ADHD challenges can cross over with other neurodiverse conditions, and the impact of sensory overwhelm.
• Reviewing and possibly adjusting universal neuroinclusive practices which you may already be working to; simple shifts in the workplace which can have a major impact on employee’s cognitive function. Think small steps rather than an expensive piece of kit.
• Developing personal strategies which your teams might adopt to extend their ability to work to their strengths and minimise their challenges.
• Learning how HR teams around the UK are building a neuroinclusive workspace, and how you can align your own HR teams processes.
