What can be considered a barrier or challenge in one setting can be a huge asset in another. An inclusive workplace not only celebrates individual differences, but also harnesses them when building teams that can do amazing things together. Neurodiversities, learning differences, and disabilities are not necessarily a barrier. For example, pattern recognition that is often strong in individuals with ADHD may be a huge asset in radiology, crime analysis, or financial analyst roles. It's important to match strengths to roles so that everyone shines like the light that they are. Employees from different generations can build strong teams by capitalizing on the crystallized intelligence of one group and the well-developed fluid reasoning of another. If you're not sure of your core strengths or just need a reminder, ask those around you. Inclusion matters.
This October, we proudly celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time to recognize the invaluable contributions of workers with disabilities and to promote inclusive workplaces. #NDEAM #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion
