Autism In The Workplace Training
Autism brings focus, honesty, and insight, qualities every organisation needs.
But without understanding, even the most talented colleagues can face barriers that affect confidence and communication.
This engaging, practical session helps teams and managers understand autism at work, communicate clearly, and create calmer, more inclusive environments where everyone can thrive.
It’s about understanding differences and building workplaces where neurodifferences are celebrated.
What’s Covered:
Understanding Autism at Work. Learn what autism means in real workplace terms, from sensory processing and communication differences to strengths in focus, routine, and analytical thinking. Discover how understanding builds confidence for everyone.
Recognising Strengths, Challenges and Triggers. Identify the unique strengths autistic colleagues bring, such as attention to detail, loyalty, and logic, while learning how changes, noise, or unclear communication can become overwhelming.
Communicating with Clarity and Respect. Understand how tone, predictability, and structure make communication inclusive. Gain confidence in giving feedback, running messages, and writing messages that reduce ambiguity and stress.
Supporting Sensory and Environmental Needs. Explore how lighting, sound, and workspace layout and flow affect comfort and concentration. Learn how to make low-cost adjustments that boost focus and reduce anxiety.
Building Psychological Safety and Confidence. Discover how consistency, fairness and calm leadership help autistic colleagues feel safe to speak up, contribute, and excel in their roles.
Embedding Autism Inclusion into Team Culture. Move beyond awareness to action. Learn how inclusion policies translate into daily practice, from shift briefings to performance reviews, making inclusion part of how your team works.
