The Underutilised 20%: Neurodivergent Talent and the Inclusion ROI
Our Executive Director, Eileen Burbidge, will be speaking at this year's Engage Employee Summit, advising people leaders on how to measure ROI, implement personalised and effective neurodiversity support, and identify gaps that are costing companies talent.

Up to 20% of your workforce is neurodivergent. Most are undiagnosed. And in workplaces that weren't designed with neurodiverse employees in mind, many are spending significant energy navigating environments, processes and expectations that don't reflect how they think - suppressing the very traits that make them exceptional at pattern recognition, systems thinking and creative problem-solving.
The cost to your organisation isn't just human. It's measurable. 51% of neurodiverse employees reported taking time off work due to their neurodiversity.
In this session, Eileen Burbidge, Executive Director of Fertifa, challenges people leaders to move beyond adjustments and accommodations and start treating neurodivergent inclusion as an ROI conversation. Drawing on data from Fertifa's platform and real employer case studies, Eileen will discuss:
- How to measure ROI
- What 'good' support for neurodiversity looks like
- Where the gaps in your current approach are costing you talent
The session will also cover practical steps you can take immediately to build a more neuroinclusive culture - one that retains exceptional people and unlocks the cognitive diversity your organisation is already paying for but not yet using.
