The challenge
Having recognised the importance of embracing neurodiversity in the workplace, and legal responsibilities relating to the topic, MTC Training identified a need for comprehensive neuro-inclusion. The goal was to enhance understanding of cognitive diversity, establish and promote a culture of inclusivity, and ensure the well-being and productivity of all employees. In pursuit of these objectives, MTC and MTC Training sought the expertise of Cognassist and our offering of cognitive assessments and training interventions.
- Lack of awareness of neurodiversity and its potential in advanced manufacturing.
- Need for tailored interventions to support cognitive diversity.
- Embedding inclusion as a cultural pillar across all levels of the organisation.
The solution
A tailored neuro-inclusion training session for MTC Training was created, combining cognitive assessments, interactive workshops, and discussions on legal responsibilities and reasonable adjustments associated with neurodiversity in the workplace. The training session was delivered through an engaging face-to-face workshop, ensuring maximum participation and comprehension. Participants, including the full Senior Board, underwent their own cognitive assessments, gaining insights into their individual cognitive profiles. This served as a starting point for discussions around cognitive diversity and strategies to leverage strengths and address potential challenges.
