Recently companies are starting to come to realization that the untapped workforce of many with an ASD diagnosis is the path to new business growth...
We at Repploy have put the call out to companies ourselves to pick up the challenge, have a close look at the structure of your workplace, current employees and job roles.....
Are those pre - misconceptions working for you?
Are they meeting your industry, budget, skills,workforce and competency requirements?
Are you taking into account that the flexibility of hours, job roles, split criteria and underlying passion of your current workforce?
Do you underestimate the passion that repetitive positions in your company acquire?
Is it working for you?
By limiting your industry to what employers call the " employability norm" actually decreases your opportunity to access the overwhelming industry genius that many individuals on the spectrum bring to the workplace.
The under utilization of skills, knowledge and passion in Australia is criminal, industries through their lack of knowledge, understanding and insight are contributing to many individuals who come under the umbrella of an Autism diagnosis to a future of unemployment, or disability thus compounding into frustration, anxiety and low self esteem.
As company leaders currently fail to stand up and make minor adjustments to the everyday workplace norms so they can access the " genius of the diagnosis" .
WELL ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE ?
