Neuroinclusive Hiring & Onboarding
2025-05-14 10:00 - 11:00 | Online via Solutions Hub
You’re invited to join Neuroinclusive Workforce Solutions for a free, 1-hour virtual workshop on understanding strategies for hiring and onboarding neurodivergent employees. The workshop will be held on May 14, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am Mountain time.

In this workshop, you’ll learn about common challenges that neurodivergent folks have during both the hiring and the onboarding processes. Many organizations are inadvertently screening out highly-qualified neurodivergent candidates during the hiring process or setting them up to fail due to their onboarding processes. You’ll leave with easy steps to help avoid falling into the common traps. And you’ll better understand how to support your neurodivergent employees.

About the Presenter:

This workshop will be led by Aaron Baer. Aaron runs multiple neurodivergent-friendly businesses, is a highly sought-after speaker and coach in the neurodiversity space. He has over three decades of lived experience with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergences.

This virtual workshop is hosted on our Solutions Hub. If you already have an account, just log in as usual. If you haven’t yet, you will need to create an account to access the workshop, but it’s FREE and EASY!
