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.
With Cognassist you can provide immediate support to your colleagues while they maintain complete confidentiality with regards to their neurodifference. This is made possible by the Cognassist Neuro-inclusion Support Framework.
With our platform, an organisation can offer all their employees tailored support from an internal advocate for neuro-inclusion, while they maintain confidentiality.
With research showing that almost 7 in 10 people with neuro-differences fear disclosing at work due to fear of discrimination, Louise discusses the complexities of neuro-difference disclosure in the workplace.
Watch nowDisclosure through the Cognassist platform is confidential and not shared with the employer. The employee gets immediate access to personalised adjustments and strategies that are specific to their neuro-difference.
These adjustments and strategies can be applied by the individual to help remove any potential barriers they could be facing daily.
Employees can seek support from a certified Neuro-inclusion Champion, assured of their privacy protection. As an internal resource familiar with the organisation's culture and infrastructure, the Neuro-inclusion Champion can discuss options and support solutions.
This offers employees confidential advice and additional support, enhancing their workplace experience.
