Would you like to encourage diversity in your workforce?
Autistic people can make effective and highly valued employees but traditional recruitment and work practices often prevent many talented, motivated people from accessing and being successful in employment.
We can help you with the recruitment, training and retention of staff with autism. Our employment consultants offer advice, support and training to managers, HR professionals and colleagues to ensure they are confident supporting autistic people effectively in the workplace.
We have a proven track record of working successfully with a wide variety of public and private sector employers, including Goldman Sachs, the British Library, Ernst & Young, IBM, Tate and the NHS.
Our training and consultancy offer includes:
Recruiting autistic employees
Specialist training on how to recruit a person with autism, including reasonable adjustments during recruitment and induction.
