Welcome to the HR Business Blueprint Podcast. I’m Nikki Masterman, founder and CEO of Inspired HR.

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Jannine Perryman, founder of ADHD Wise, Family Focus CIC, and Thinking Partners Limited, and author of 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers Supporting Students with ADHD.

Jannine and I dive into the dual responsibility of inclusion at work. She explains why it’s not just about what employers should be doing, but also about how employees can reflect on their role in workplace challenges.

We also explore what ‘reasonable adjustments’ really look like in practice, how to balance individual needs with business priorities, and why accountability on both sides is key to building truly inclusive environments.

This is part two of our conversation, where we look at the realities of creating workplaces that support neurodiversity while keeping sight of organisational needs.
