Creating a neuroinclusive workplace gives an employer access to a greater talent pool and boosts team spirit, say the HR leaders driving Bank of Ireland’s initiative to support neurodivergent colleagues and new job candidates.

For the past year, Bank of Ireland has partnered with specialist neurodivergence consultant auticon. The bank is using auticon’s Neuroinclusion Maturity Assessment (NIMA) process in an in-depth assessment of its policies, practices and employee experience.
