Workplace Needs Assessments

When work systems aren’t aligning with how a neurodivergent employee thinks and works best, a Workplace Needs Assessment helps identify practical, strengths-based adjustments. This neurodiversity-affirming evaluation informs a tailored workplace accommodations plan that supports sustainable success.

 

What it is

A structured assessment that identifies what is getting in the way at work and what adjustments would help. You receive a clear report with practical recommendations, tailored to the role and working context.

 

Who it’s for

A good fit if you want:

• Clarity on what adjustments will make the biggest difference

• Support where informal changes have not solved the problem

• A practical plan for an employee with autism, ADHD, AuDHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, or dyscalculia

• Evidence to support internal processes or Access to Work where relevant

• A proactive start for a new joiner, so issues do not build up

 

What to expect

• Information gathering with the employee, and with the manager or HR where appropriate and agreed

• A focused assessment meeting, usually online

• A written report with prioritised recommendations and clear actions

• A review meeting to agree what will happen, by when, and who owns each step

• Optional follow-up to check what is working and adjust the plan

 

Outcomes (what often changes)

Organisations often get:

• A clear, workable adjustments plan

• Better shared understanding between employee and manager

• More consistent support and fewer issues escalating

• Stronger performance and wellbeing, once adjustments are in place
