How ADHD can impact an employer and employee
Employer
ADHD is a condition that influences how people think and behave, often bringing unique energy and perspectives into the workplace. People with ADHD may be highly efficient at work, but can also experience restlessness, challenges with concentration, and impulsivity which can have an effect. For employers, it can be difficult to navigate a neurodiverse team, and it can have certain impacts on their role, providing an opportunity for growth and learning. For example:
- Employers may find there is inconsistent productivity levels.
- Employers may need to make certain accommodations to help individuals with ADHD do their job effectively.
- There may be challenges in communication between colleagues.
However, many positives come with employees with ADHD, such as increased awareness, unique perspectives, and high energy. At Exceptional Individuals, we provide comprehensive ADHD training courses so businesses can become more inclusive and aware of the condition.
