Inclusive Employment in Manufacturing: Building a Future That Works for Everyone

October 8 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm UTC+1

Neurodiversity is more than an inclusion initiative; it’s a business advantage. In today’s manufacturing sector, where precision, innovation, and problem-solving drive success, harnessing the unique strengths of neurodivergent talent isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a proven way to build stronger, high performing teams.

Yet many organisations still struggle to build environments where every employee can come to work as their best selves.

On 8th October, join award winning social enterprise NOW Group along with leading voices in the manufacturing sector as they share proven strategies for embracing neurodiversity.
