Claire wasn’t lazy. She was overwhelmed. Constant noise. Harsh lighting. Interrupted focus. She masked it all—until she couldn’t.

In this episode of Humans in the Loop, we explore what happens when neurodivergent employees experience chronic sensory overload, and how inclusive workplace design and proactive leadership can prevent burnout before it begins. Because inclusion isn’t just about empathy. It’s about design.
