Neurodiversity Training for Contact Centres

Support every caller. Support every colleague. Build teams that work for all.

Inclusive support for frontline teams. Support neurodivergent colleagues in high-pressure, high-contact roles. This training helps teams reduce sensory stress, improve communication, and deliver inclusive customer service.

Contact centre environments create hidden barriers for neurodivergent colleagues.

Contact centres are high-pressure environments, fast-paced, target-driven, and heavily reliant on communication. For neurodivergent team members, this can mean extra barriers. These range between sensory overload and rigid scripts to burnout and misunderstandings.

This training gives contact centre teams the tools to recognise those barriers, adapt support, and create an environment where neurodivergent colleagues can thrive, without compromising service quality or performance.

This Is For Teams Who Want To:

  1. Improve retention and wellbeing for neurodivergent contact centre staff

  2. Support hybrid, remote, and in-office teams effectively

  3. Train managers to adapt expectations without lowering standards

  4. Reduce stress, burnout, and communication breakdowns

  5. Create fairer recruitment and onboarding processes for contact centre roles

What You’ll Learn:

1. Understanding Neurodiversity in Contact Centres

  • How autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other neurotypes show up in high-pressure work environments

  • Why sensory load, targets, and scripts can create extra barriers

  • The hidden impact of masking and burnout in contact centre teams

2. Everyday Workplace Barriers

  • Noise, lighting, and sensory overload in contact centres

  • Communication challenges in fast-paced, scripted environments

  • Performance metrics that unintentionally disadvantage neurodivergent colleagues

3. Communication That Works

  • Adapting feedback, coaching, and supervision styles

  • Supporting clear, respectful communication within teams

  • How managers can spot signs of stress and intervene early

4. Reasonable Adjustments That Make a Difference

  • Adjustments for shift patterns, scripts, and performance monitoring

  • Hybrid and remote working considerations for contact centre staff

  • Supporting different role types, frontline agents, supervisors, and support staff

5. Building Neuroinclusive Contact Centre Teams

  • Encouraging collaboration and respect across teams

  • Moving beyond awareness into everyday, practical neuroinclusion

  • Recognising and leveraging neurodivergent strengths, such as problem-solving, pattern spotting, and resilience

Support training with workplace assessment and follow-up.

After training fast-paced teams, run a workplace assessment to diagnose sensory or communication barriers in contact environments. Then offer Lunch & Learn refreshers or toolkits to continuously embed neuroinclusive shifts in behaviour and culture.
