Shifting the Needle is back! Our new episode is about ‘Rethinking Neurodiversity at Work’ with Madelaine Verchere, Data Strategy and Neurodiversity Community Co-Lead at EY.

In this episode, we unpack the eye-opening results of EY's Global Neuroinclusion at Work Study 2025, an exploration involving 2,000 neurodivergent and 500 neurotypical professionals that’s redefining what success can look like in today’s workplace. With 1 in 5 of being neurodiverse, this episode highlights why inclusion isn’t optional, it’s essential.

If you're a leader who wants to unlock the full potential of your team, this episode is a must listen. Learn how to truly understand what makes your people tick, neurodiverse or neurotypical, and create a workplace where everyone can thrive.

Whether you’re neurotypical, neurodistinct, or proudly neuro-spicy, this episode will give you fresh insight into how the people around you work best and how to bring out the brilliance in everyone.
