How to integrate and enhance neuroatypical profiles in your company?

To encourage the recruitment of neuroatypical talents (autism, Dys disordersattention deficit disorders with or without hyperactivity), a national guide “Neurodiversity in company: rethinking, recruiting, deploying, developing” has just been published. It is aimed at employers and aims to develop the performance lever that is the insertion of these profiles into the world of work.
Neurodivergent people make up more than 15% of the world's population, or one in seven people.
Faced with their under-representation in the professional world, the Interministerial Delegation to the National Strategy for Neurodevelopmental Disorders publishes the guide “Neurodiversity in company: rethinking, recruiting, deploying, developing”. It is intended for employers, HR managers and managers.
The guide contains more than 80 good practices on recruitment, coaching and inclusion of talent. Among the examples, this guide recommends “ensuring that the screening of applications does not exclude neurodivergent candidates” or “valuing and supporting the hierarchical progression of neurodivergent leaders by recognizing their skills and potential”. These points are the result of more than 80 hearings of experts and stakeholders, conducted in France and abroad.
It is also a matter of the company fostering collective intelligence and rethinking its recruitment processes.
