Synopsis

The Workplace Geeks welcome back workplace health and wellbeing expert Dr Jo Yarker, Reader in Occupational Psychology at Birkbeck, University of London, and Managing Partner of Affinity Health at Work, for the second part of their deep dive into neurodiversity. Chris and Ian explore 'Physical Workplace Adjustments to Support Neurodivergent Workers: A Systematic Review' (2022) co-authored by Jo, with Clara Weber, Beate Krieger, Eunji Häne, and Almuth McDowall.

The purpose of the paper was to explore and evaluate the evidence to date for workplace changes and their link to work-related longevity, performance, and health and well-being for neurodivergent workers. Using a systematic process, Jo and her colleagues essentially sort the wheat from the chaff to surface robust empirical evidence, rather than suggestions or claims. To wit - there isn't that much yet.

To conclude our two-part journey to learn more about neurodiversity and the implications for work and workplace, the amazing Esme Banks Marr joins Chris and Ian to reflect on both this and the previous episode, featuring Josh Artus from Centric Lab.
