Beyond the Benchmark: How leading financial services firms are unlocking the business case for neurodiversity
A VIP breakfast for HR and people leaders in financial services to explore how the sector's top employers are turning neurodiversity from a compliance conversation into a competitive advantage.
Speakers



Financial services has always attracted exceptional thinkers - people who can process vast amounts of information, identify risk, and find signal in the noise. Many of these individuals are neurodivergent. Yet across the sector, the support infrastructure to identify and retain this talent remains underdeveloped.
Join us for an intimate session to discuss how leading firms are reframing neurodiversity - not as a wellbeing burden, but as a measurable driver of performance, retention, and innovation.
When: Wednesday 3rd June | 09:00AM – 11:00AM
Where: The Ivy Tower Bridge
We'll discuss topics such as:
- The real cost of undiagnosed and unsupported neurodivergence in financial services - from lost productivity to avoidable attrition
- How to quantify the return on investment for neurodiversity support, and make the case internally to leadership and boards
- How top-tier firms are embedding neurodiversity into their broader DEI and wellbeing strategies in a way that delivers outcomes, not just outputs
We will also discuss the critical gaps between EAP provision, PMI coverage, and the specialist support neurodivergent employees actually need.
This Friends of Fertifa breakfast provides a space to network with peers in the financial services sector and gain practical, evidence-based insight into building a benefits strategy that works for every kind of mind.
