Creating workspaces where neurodivergent people can thrive, with Ludmila Praslova

  • Summary

  • Embracing neurodiversity in the workplace not only benefits neurodiverse individuals, but creates a more inclusive, flexible, and productive environment for everyone. By understanding and acknowledging different strengths and needs, we can reshape jobs and work cultures to foster a sense of belonging and joy, leading to more effective organisations.

    Ludmila Praslova is an organisational psychologist at Vanguard University in Southern California. Her work focuses on embracing neurodiversity in the workplace and promoting a more inclusive, flexible, and productive environment for everyone. She champions the idea of understanding and acknowledging different strengths and needs to foster a sense of belonging and joy in workplace settings.

    Ludmila’s tips for a happy workplace
    1. Create flexible social environments that allow people to connect in ways that work for them.
    2. Adapt work schedules, information sharing, and learning opportunities to suit individual cognitive strengths.
    3. Encourage a non-judgmental environment where people feel comfortable expressing their feelings without fear of criticism or misunderstanding.
    4. Cater to individual physical and sensory needs, like temperature preferences, noise levels, and work locations.
