Provide an accessible workplace
Did you know? All employers are legally obligated to provide reasonable adjustments to autistic people due to Autism Act (NI) 2011.
Autistic and neurodivergent people can be highly skilled and valued members of a workplace. Autism NI provides CPD certified and tailored training for employers, to support you in building an accessible and inclusive workplace.
Training can be delivered across Northern Ireland, the island of Ireland, UK and internationally.
Our training explores:
- Key strengths that autistic people can bring to a workplace team.
- Common adjustments that can be simply implemented to promote neuro-inclusion and support autistic people in the workplace.
- How an employer can implement supports at every stage of the employment process including recruitment, induction, maintaining role and promotion opportunities.
Why should your employees receive autism training?
It makes great business sense to be an accessible employer.
- Ensure employees feel valued and supported at work, which reduces stress, improves motivation and reliability.
- Enable employees to perform their duties effectively, increasing productivity.
- Promote an inclusive and diverse workforce ensures that staff can bring their varying experiences and expertise to the team, which can have a substantial positive impact for everyone within the organisation.
- Ensure that your organisation is compliant with all equality and disability legislation, including the Autism Act (NI) 2011.
Don't take our word for it
Autism NI has delivered a range of training courses for Citi, to support them in becoming a more inclusive employer.
I went in thinking I knew quite a lot about autism but was truly amazed at how much more I learned. The trainer indeed is a true champion for autism awareness and delivered an abundance of knowledge in a way we all understood.Feedback on our training for Employers
