Understanding Neurodiversity on In-House Legal Teams
Event Description
Workplace DEI efforts often fall short when it comes to neurodiversity. With 15-20% of the population exhibiting some form of neurodiversity, companies and legal teams often fail to support these team members and neurodiverse employees often remain underemployed and underutilized.
At a time when legal teams are being asked to do more with less, neurodiverse employees provide a unique perspective. It’s likely that legal teams already have neurodiverse employees on their payroll—now is the time to leverage these leaders who think differently.
Join us on Wednesday, May 3 at 12pm PT / 3 pm ET for the next edition of our IHC Fundamentals Series, as Krysta Johnson, autistic Head of Legal operations at Lexion, and Nic Parreno, Legal Contracts Manager with ADD/ASD, describe their experiences in the workplace.
Key Takeaways:
- What neurodiversity might look like at work
- The benefits of neurodiverse employees in the legal field
- How to foster and maintain an accessible environment for all
Who Should Attend
This webinar is ideal for legal professionals, HR managers, company leaders, and diversity and inclusion practitioners seeking to improve their understanding and support of neurodiverse employees within their teams.
It is also beneficial for neurodiverse individuals themselves, as well as their colleagues and allies, who want to learn more about the unique perspectives and strengths that neurodiverse employees bring to the legal field.
By attending this webinar, participants will gain valuable insights on fostering a more inclusive and accessible work environment for all.
