Solve the neurodifference disclosure problem.

Employers strive to offer psychological safety and motivation to their workforce, allowing them to excel in their roles. Employees seek this valuable support from their employers, aspiring to work in an atmosphere that not only cares for their mental well-being but also encourages them to thrive. Yet a significant barrier to achieving this is the neurodifference disclosure problem.

Typically, employees have a single binary option – to self-disclose a neurodifference to the company or to keep it to themselves.

  • Offer multiple options of disclosure through our framework.
  • Provide support to those who chose not to disclose.
  • Enable your employees to feel safe with disclosure if they do.

What our customers say

This training has already provided useful for Informa and would be a ‘must’ for anyone seeking to cultivate a truly inclusive and empathetic work environment.
Cagla GayretliDiversity, Equity & Inclusion Coordinator, Informa Markets
We’ve trained our first group of Neuro-inclusion Champions’; Something we wouldn’t have done had we not got involved with Cognassist. It’s been game changing. When we sent our request for people to volunteer to become a Champion, we were looking for 15 responses. We got 60. These Champions are now super passionate and they’re going out and they’re driving all sorts of interesting insights and putting actions into place where we’ve not had them before.
