Last month, on March 26, 2025, we gathered at SKF Houten for a thought-provoking morning focused on neuro-inclusion in the workplace. The session sparked meaningful discussions and offered invaluable insights into how we can foster a more inclusive work environment. Yves Nys, Global Well-Being, Diversity, and Inclusion Manager at SKF Group, shares a summary from the event:
“Neuro-inclusion at work, turning stigma into strength”, an inspiring keynote by Tristan Lavender at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the Netherlands‘ diversity breakfast event at SKF Houten. It’s time for business leaders to unlock the hidden potential within every individual, often right before our eyes.
Neurodiversity too often still remains a blind spot for many organisations, but what it takes is just starting the conversation, asking the right questions and refraining from assumptions. Tristan leads by example, paving the way for others, sharing his personal story and professional journey with authenticity and vulnerability.
Thank you, Tristan, also on behalf of our D&I Committee members and SKF, for creating a safe space where business leaders started sharing their own stories within minutes. It was truly magical to witness. This is the essence of human-centric leadership, unlocking the strengths within people, society and business.
