Neurodiversity and Wellbeing: Small Adjustments, Big Impact with Liz Mulhall | Season 2 Episode 2

Listen Later

When it comes to workplace wellbeing, there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all – especially for neurodivergent employees. So, how can organisations move beyond a box-ticking approach and create environments where everyone can truly thrive?

 

In this episode of The Good Day at Work Podcast, our host Matt Liggins speaks with Liz Mulhall, a business psychologist, neurodiversity coach, and valued member of Robertson Cooper’s associate network. 

 

Drawing on her own lived experience with ADHD and her extensive coaching work, Liz brings a powerful perspective on how organisations can better understand and support neurodivergent employees – and why it’s time for a more human, more personalised approach to wellbeing.

 

Tune in to hear Liz and Matt explore:

 

  • What neurodiversity really means: discover the difference between “neurodiversity” and “neurodivergence”, and why it’s crucial to understand the workplace through both individual and systemic lenses
  • The hidden costs of typical work environments: from sensory overload to poorly designed roles, Liz shares the barriers that can impact performance and wellbeing – especially when jobs are built around neurotypical norms
  • Why traditional wellbeing strategies miss the mark: find out why the standard wellbeing calendar isn’t enough – and what businesses should do instead to ensure their strategies are inclusive, proactive, and person-centred
  • Simple changes that make a big difference: Liz explains why things like clear expectations, flexibility, and autonomy are not just “nice-to-haves” – they’re essential tools for levelling the playing field
  • What managers can do today: learn how asking the right questions, ditching assumptions, and focusing on trust can help managers support their teams more effectively – whether or not someone has a formal diagnosis

    •  

    If you want to create a workplace where everyone feels safe, supported, and able to do their best work, this conversation is full of insights you won’t want to miss.
