The Welcome to Work Pledge: A New Standard for Neuroinclusive Hiring
The world of work is changing—but not fast enough for everyone.
While many organisations are starting to recognise the value of neurodivergent talent, there’s often a gap between intention and action. That’s why we created the Welcome to Work Pledge—a clear, actionable commitment for businesses that want to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps toward neuroinclusive hiring.
Why a Pledge?
Neurodivergent individuals bring unique perspectives, skills, and innovations to the workplace. But traditional hiring practices can unintentionally exclude them—from rigid interview formats to unclear job descriptions and unsupported onboarding.
The Welcome to Work Pledge gives organisations a framework for change. It’s not about checking boxes—it’s about building a workplace where different ways of thinking are genuinely welcomed and supported.
What Does the Pledge Involve?
Organisations who take the Welcome to Work Pledge commit to:
Inclusive Job Design
Creating job descriptions and roles that focus on core outcomes, not outdated norms.Accessible Recruitment
Offering flexibility in how candidates apply and demonstrate their strengths.Supportive Onboarding
Ensuring new hires—especially those who are neurodivergent—get the clarity, tools, and mentoring they need to thrive.Ongoing Learning
Investing in training and resources that help teams understand and support neurodiverse colleagues.Transparent Accountability
Tracking progress and being open about what’s working—and where there’s more to do.
A Win for Everyone
Neuroinclusive workplaces don’t just benefit neurodivergent employees. They improve communication, creativity, and psychological safety for everyone. Employers who commit to inclusive practices often see better retention, higher productivity, and a culture where people feel safe to bring their whole selves to work.
That’s the future we’re working toward.
Join the movement.
Take the Welcome to Work Pledge and start creating a workplace where neurodivergent talent isn’t just accepted—it’s empowered.
