As businesses increasingly recognise the importance of diversity and inclusion, one crucial area that is often overlooked is neurodiversity. With one in five people thought to be neurodivergent, it’s more important than ever for employers to understand how to support and empower this significant portion of the workforce.
Nexus Presents: Beyond Labels, an event hosted by local IT provider Nexus, is set to offer invaluable insights on this topic, bringing together expert speakers with lived experiences and practical strategies. This event, hosted on 26th September at Exeter Golf and Country Club, promises to be an essential opportunity for business leaders, HR professionals, and anyone interested in fostering a more inclusive workplace.
Expert Speakers
The event will feature two distinguished speakers who will share their personal experiences and professional insights:
Emily Cox, Associate Solicitor and Legal Technologist at Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP, will discuss the firm’s commitment to supporting neurodivergent staff. Her talk, “Neurodiversity: A Spectrum of Opportunities at Womble Bond Dickinson,” will explore innovative strategies implemented by the firm and the profound impact these initiatives have had on both employees and the company.
Vic Williams, CEO of Twelve Network and an accomplished author, speaker, and consultant, will present his talk titled “I am…but let me explain!” Diagnosed with dyslexia at 46 and ADHD at 53, Vic will share his journey and discuss the significant impact of neurodiversity in the workplace. He will also offer practical strategies to leverage the strengths of neurodivergent individuals while addressing the challenges they may face.
Why Attend?
This event is a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of neurodiversity from professionals who have not only studied the subject but have lived it. Attendees will leave with practical solutions that can be easily implemented in their own workplaces—solutions that won’t break the bank but will make a world of difference to neurodivergent employees.
At just £5 per ticket, this event offers exceptional value, with all proceeds being donated to Hospiscare, a local charity that provides vital support in and around Exeter. Given the high calibre of the speakers and the importance of the topic, places are expected to fill quickly, so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
