How might ADHD affect work?
However, each person with ADHD has their own unique talents which can include creativity, "hyperfocus", enthusiasm, innovation, and the ability to build in-depth knowledge on any topic of interest.
At Exceptional Individuals, we work with employers and candidates with ADHD to match the right people to the right roles and organisations. We have a database of candidates with ADHD who have uploaded their CV and interest in securing a job. We then help to create a match with employers from well-known companies by inviting our candidates to apply to jobs which suit their skill set.
If the candidate is successful in securing a job with one of our partner organisations, Exceptional Individuals provides support for employee needs through coaching sessions and by advising on the necessary tools to utilise their unique skills. We will also advise employers on any suitable provision they can put in place to support their employee to succeed in their new role.
What is the best job for someone with ADHD?
There isn’t a one size fits all career for every person with ADHD. It depends on the individual’s interests and talents. Though there are careers that utilise the assets of having ADHD, such as creativity, and innovation more than others. These jobs include teaching, designing, creative arts and entrepreneurship, amongst many others.
How do people with ADHD think?
Common traits of ADHD such as being easily distracted, intense, creative, and energetic can lead to individuals being misunderstood in a mainstream environment. However, it is important to emphasise that neurotypical and neurodivergent people have different ways of responding to stimuli and certain situations.
Although one of the strengths of ADHD is the ability to be hyper-focused, that strength may be limited to subjects/activities of interest. Similarly, people with ADHD may "over focus" and become intensely preoccupied with work and overwork at the expense of other aspects of their lives. However, with the right support and work environment, people with ADHD can harness their strengths and create meaningful careers.
How ADHD can impact an employer and employee
Employer
As an employer, whether you’re the CEO of a large corporation or owner of a small startup, there are many ways an employee with ADHD can positively impact your business, for example:
- Employees with ADHD have minds that work differently and are able to think outside the box for more creative solutions
- They can be hyper-focused on tasks
- They can be creative and come up with fresh ideas
- Individuals with ADHD naturally have a keen eye for detail so are able to spot mistakes that others may miss
However, it’s important to remember that without the right environment for their needs, individuals with ADHD may find it difficult to be productive, struggle with communication, and have trouble staying on top of their workload.
That’s where ADHD consultancy comes in. At Exceptional Individuals, we provide ADHD consultancy for employers to help them create a safe space for those with ADHD so they can reach their full potential in your business.
Employee
ADHD can have a huge impact on an employee’s performance and experience at work. It can present challenges such as difficulty focusing on one task at a time, trouble meeting deadlines, and potential communication barriers between colleagues. Individuals with ADHD are also more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and difficulties forming and maintaining relationships, all of which can further impact their work and overall well-being.
With ADHD consultancy, businesses can take the necessary steps to create a more comfortable and inclusive environment where both employers and employees are better educated about the condition.
Our ADHD consultancy
At Exceptional Individuals, we offer professional ADHD consultancy services that support and guide employers in creating an inclusive work environment from policies and procedures to staff training.
During your consultation, we will audit and review systems and processes to identify any barriers that may impact an employee with ADHD. This can include onboarding processes, digital systems, job advertisements, general company culture, and much more. These audits provide insights into your workplace and can help our consultants make recommendations to help your business create a more inclusive and supportive workplace.

Over half of our team is neurodivergent, so you get advice from consultants with first-hand experience. You get the opportunity to ask any questions you need to form a deep understanding of ADHD.
The difference between ADHD consultancy and training
ADHD consultancy focuses on giving advice and guidance on elements of the business such as policies and HR guidance. It offers employers the opportunity to ask any questions and we even have a helpline to provide quick and easy support.
Training, on the other hand, is focused on providing both employers and employees with a better understanding of ADHD along with the tools to create a more inclusive work environment. Individuals with ADHD encounter many challenges in the workplace, and training creates a space for them and their needs.
