"Adults diagnosed with ADHD often experience the workplace as restrictive rather than enabling. Many employees with ADHD engage in 'masking' to fit in at work, leading to exhaustion and reduced well-being."
"Supportive leadership and flexible work environments unlock creativity and potential in employees with ADHD. Redesigning work in ways that align with individuals' strengths has the potential to improve both employee well-being and organizational performance."
Adults diagnosed with ADHD often find the workplace restrictive, leading to feelings of exhaustion due to 'masking' behaviors. Employment rates for neurodivergent individuals remain lower than for neurotypical individuals, and they frequently change jobs. Traditional workplace norms do not accommodate neurodiversity, necessitating a rethinking of job descriptions and performance metrics. Redesigning work to align with individual strengths can improve both employee well-being and organizational performance. Listening to neurodivergent employees is essential for understanding their workplace experiences.
