Neurodiversity

Peoplebank Supports Neurodiversity

What does Neurodiversity mean?

Neurodiversity consists of normal and natural variations of brain function and behavioural traits. It is a term often used in conjunction with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other neurological differences such as ADD and dyslexia.


Neurodiversity avoids looking at neurological differences as disabilities. Someone who is neurodiverse does not have incapacities, but they simply function in alternate ways to those who are neurotypical. 

Why is neurodiversity a positive for businesses and candidates?

People with neurological differences demonstrate the strengths and qualities that are valuable in business. For example, people on the autism spectrum are often trustworthy and reliable. They may exhibit great memory skills and be proficient in paying attention to detail. Many neurodiverse candidates are direct communicators and are excellent at pattern recognition.

Other than particular skills, the importance of neurodiversity also assists innovation. People on the spectrum can see most things from a different perspective. Neurodiverse adults can think outside of the usual and have the tendency to be creative. Businesses should be encouraging and appreciating completely new perceptions as these viewpoints are often the crux of driving innovation. Neurodiverse staff members can also improve the productivity of an organisation. Testers working for the Department of Human Services in Canberra have been found to be 130% more effective than their neurotypical peers.

But it’s not only about what neurodiverse people can offer corporations. There is also the humanitarian factor. People who are neurodiverse are entitled to the same rights and privileges as the rest of society. They should be able to earn a wage and support themselves. When they are employed they are able to pursue their interests and find a sense of purpose. This, in turn, has been proven to increase personal dignity and quality of life for neurodiverse individuals

How Peoplebank helps?

Peoplebank has a continuous focus on diversifying our own workforce, particularly when it comes to gender diversity. However, there are many more areas of need when it comes to diversity in business.

We are working hard and passionately to support neurodiversity in the workplace. We have partnered with Specialisterne so that we can help employ capable, intelligent people who happen to be neurodiverse.

So far we have…

  • Placed 40 people across a range of Technology and support roles into NDIA, ATO, DHS, ABS, and Seeing Machines
  • Opened discussions with clients about the value of hiring Neurodiverse candidates in ACT, QLD, VIC and SA

We look forward to continuing to place great neurodiverse candidates in the right role for them and for our client.
