Over a billion people worldwide live with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent conditions, yet most workplaces offer only basic accommodations. Lyra's 2026 Workforce Mental Health Trends Report finds that 91% of benefits leaders are concerned about supporting neurodiverse needs, yet 83% aren’t sure where to start. Without the right support, neurodivergent employees often face burnout, anxiety, and disengagement, while their unique strengths go untapped.
This session will explore how leading organizations are moving beyond compliance to create workplaces where neurodivergent employees can truly thrive. From equipping managers to recognize and support diverse thinking styles to providing employees with skills coaching and timely, evidence-based care, you'll gain practical strategies to strengthen support for neurodiversity in the workplace and increase engagement, retention, and innovation.
