How to Support Employees with ADHD: A Manager’s Handbook
A preventative handbook for managers to recognise early ADHD indicators and implement proactive workplace adjustments.
This guide covers:
The reality of managing ADHD in the workplace
Early Indicators of ADHD that managers should understand and recognise
Five practical actions that your organisation can take
An estimated 2 million UK adults live with ADHD, yet 80% lack a diagnosis and face up to 5-year NHS assessment backlogs. Driven by masking, up to 93% experience severe workplace burnout, leaving them far more likely to leave or be fired when structural gaps are mistaken for capability issues.
This guide helps managers break this reactive loop. By learning how to spot early signs of cognitive friction, like executive dysfunction, organisations can deploy practical adjustments long before performance dips. Transitioning to this preventative strategy allows your business to actively protect and retain exceptional talent.
