March 26, Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast: Neurodiversity

Date: March 26, 2025

Time: 8.30 – 11.00

Venue: SKF Houten

Meidoornkade 14, 3992 AE Houten

Research indicates that up to 20% of individuals are neurodivergent. This statistic underscores the imperative for the business world to fully embrace neurodiversity in all its aspects.

By embracing neurodiversity, organizations can access unique perspectives and problem-solving abilities, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and innovative work environment.

This approach not only improves employee well-being overall but also enhances business outcomes through increased innovation and productivity.

Despite its significance, neurodiversity remains a relatively unaddressed topic within the corporate sphere. We invite you to join our Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast meeting to gain insights into the power of neurodivergent thinking and how best to implement strategies that support and leverage the unique talents that surround us.

Incorporating neurodiversity allows companies to harness distinct viewpoints and problem-solving skills, thereby cultivating a more inclusive and creative workplace. This strategy not only promotes employee satisfaction but also drives superior business performance through enhanced innovation and productivity.
