In this episode of the OrgDev Podcast, we’re joined by Mel Francis, Director of Neurodiversity at Work at Do-IT Solutions, to explore how organisations can move beyond simply accommodating difference to designing workplaces where all kinds of brains can thrive. Mel shares practical strategies for embedding neuroinclusive thinking across the employee lifecycle – from recruitment and onboarding to performance, progression, and everyday management. Drawing on her HR expertise and lived experience as a parent of a neurodivergent son, she challenges outdated stereotypes, highlights the risks of unintentionally excluding talent, and offers simple, low-cost changes that benefit everyone. This is an essential listen for anyone looking to create a truly inclusive culture that values neurodiversity as a strength.
