When you hear the word Neurodiversity, you may be very familiar, as you, a colleague, family member or friend are Neurodiverse, or you may be intrigued to learn more. The first step is to understand the three types of Neurodiversity and how having employees who are neurodivergent not only increase financial benefits to the organization they create a culture of inclusivity. Katherine McCord, the President at Titan Management shares her experience being neurodiverse and how she built her career on inclusive innovation in People Operations and HR Tech.

In this conversation with host Natalie Benamou, Katherine explains what neurodiversity means and, how neurodiverse people can contribute to highly successful workplaces. It all starts with how we can use curiosity and effective communication to create more inclusive spaces.

4 Ways Neurodiversity Can Help Your Organization:

1. The Data from Hewlett Packard shows how productivity increases 30% with neurodiverse teams
2. Customer Satisfaction increases when your workforce reflects the population as a whole
3. When you let people in their natural environment, the entire organization will benefit
4. The human brain needs to be comfortable, which results in increased engagement and higher retention

When thinking about how her journey with neurodiversity, Katherine McCord shares:

“I'm successful with my diversities, not in spite of them.”

Move the needle forward and encourage people on your team to embrace this idea:

“Different is not a deficit.”-Katherine McCord
