From awareness to action. Manage with confidence.
Half day (3.5 hours) – Virtual or in person – Up to 20 participants
Supporting and Managing Neurodivergent Employees is a half-day practical workshop and Part 2 of our manager programme. It’s built around the situations managers already handle, from disclosure and adjustment requests to performance conversations, and gives them the frameworks and confidence to handle each one with clarity and professionalism.
- What this delivers
- Why it matters
- How it works
- Who it's for
- What this leads to
Managers balance supporting neurodivergent colleagues with performance, service demands and team dynamics. This practical session moves them beyond awareness and into confident action: understanding what sits behind a performance concern, and exploring reasonable adjustments with confidence.
What managers will learn
- Tell the difference between performance concerns, capability gaps and unmet support needs
- Identify when adjustments may help someone perform at their best
- Manage performance fairly while supporting different working styles
- Apply inclusive management approaches in real workplace situations
- Document decisions so they stand up to scrutiny
How this supports your organisation
- Managers address concerns earlier and more constructively
- Fair, consistent performance management across teams
- Lower risk of formal complaints and claims
- More issues resolved early and informally
- Clear evidence that adjustments are considered properly
Awareness is the starting point. This session turns it into confident, everyday management practice.
When managers have the practical skills to back up their awareness, things move quickly. Disclosure conversations build trust. Performance concerns are understood properly, so support goes where it’s needed and expectations stay clear. Adjustments are agreed consistently and recorded well. Managers no longer feel they have to choose between being inclusive and being accountable.
Neurodivergent employees experience better management, and the organisation benefits from fairer, more consistent and more confident leadership across every team.
Hands-on and scenario-based, built around the disclosure conversations, performance concerns and adjustment requests managers are already handling. Delivered by expert management consultants with lived experience and over 20 years of leadership experience.

Tailored to you: every session is shaped around your organisation on a free scoping call first, so the scenarios, examples and language fit your people. Each workshop also includes slides afterwards, manager and employee templates, a post-session resource pack, an outcomes review call and CPD accreditation.
This session is for managers who are ready to turn their awareness of neurodiversity into practical, confident management skill.
We recommend completing Part 1 first, but for managers navigating a live situation it also works as a standalone session.
It works particularly well where awareness training has already taken place but hasn’t yet changed how managers behave day to day, and for management cohorts working through a structured development journey together.
Supporting and Managing Neurodivergent Employees is Part 2 of our two-part manager programme, following Neurodiversity Awareness for Managers. Together they give managers everything they need to lead neurodiverse teams with clarity, confidence and consistency. For managers handling adjustment requests regularly, Reasonable Adjustments in Practice goes deeper on the legal and practical detail.
Organisations that invest in both parts see the difference in how managers handle important conversations, how neurodivergent employees experience being managed and how consistently neuroinclusion is applied across teams. Interested in how the programme could work for your managers? We’d love to talk.
