Learning From The Edges
The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

Learning From The Edges
EP#29 Neurodivergence Friction For Good. With guest Mike Bedford.
This week we dive into the world of neurodiversity with our guest Mike Bedford. Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of neurodiversity?
When we think about neurodiversity in the workplace, are we doing enough to ensure people are included? Mike suggests there is no one size fits all and focusing on building strong relationships that build trust is important. Ask the tough questions to include individual needs. We need to empower people to have the conversations that will help us all to get the best performance possible.
Thanks to Mike for sharing his experiences and thought-provoking insight and practical ideas to encourage inclusion without exception.
