The term neurodiversity seems omnipresent in the media, even if you do not work in the field and live and breathe everything related to the topic. The relevance of this topic is further highlighted by the fact that approximately 15-20% of adults in the UK are neurodivergent.

Data on neurodiversity in the finance sector is limited, and neurodiversity appears to have been an afterthought for some financial firms. However, it is a topic that has increasingly been gaining ..read more

Key Strengths of Neurodivergent Talent There is a strong business case for supporting and promoting neurodiversity in the workplace, however, research findings indicate a considerable gap in awareness and understanding of the benefits of neuro-inclusivity in the telecoms industry.  Neurodiversity refers to the different ways people’s brains process information.  Research estimates that 15% to 20% of the UK population is neurodivergent – their way of thinking differs significantly from the neurotypical majority.

Understanding Neurodiversity in Finance It is estimated that around 15-20% of the UK population are neurodivergent. A survey by The Diversity Project (2022) found that among 150 employees in the investment sector, 41% identified as Autistic and 45% identified as having ADHD. This distribution appears to be disproportionate compared to the general population, suggesting that the finance sector might have a higher percentage of neurodivergent individuals.  This is a huge talent pool that many finance firms are not empowering neurodiversity at work. Research has found: There is a growing s ..read more
