“Neurocomfort at work and in recruitment”. A report that opens your eyes (and the discussion)

Client
Neurodiversity is becoming an increasingly important topic in discussions about the labor market; however, in Poland it still remains a poorly understood phenomenon. Meanwhile, the modern work environment, full of stimuli, pressure, and rapid change, can be especially demanding for neurodivergent people, and organizations as well as HR professionals often lack the appropriate knowledge and tools to create more inclusive recruitment processes and work environments.
The aim of the project was to better understand the experiences of neurodivergent people in the labor market and to show how cognitive diversity affects employees' functioning and the job search process. A key assumption was also to break stereotypes and provide employers, the media, and neurodivergent people themselves with reliable knowledge about the challenges and potential associated with neurodiversity.
The project included preparing the research and publication concept, identifying the most important issues related to the functioning of neurodivergent people at work and in the recruitment process, as well as developing a report presenting the research results, key insights, and recommendations for employers and HR professionals. An important element of the strategy was also creating a publication designed in an accessible and user-friendly way for neurodivergent people – both in terms of language and visual form – so that knowledge about neurodiversity would be as widely accessible and understandable as possible.
We conducted a survey among 1404 working parents of children under the age of 10. The aim was to assess the social sentiments and understand how changes in the Labor Code might contribute to a more equal distribution of caregiving responsibilities and impact the attitudes of both employees and employers. The report generated from this study highlights key challenges and hopes associated with the new regulations, and emphasizes the need to further break down barriers that hinder fathers from taking parental leave. This was the first study of its kind in Poland to measure parents' attitudes towards change.
