Estimates suggest that 10 to 30 percent of students are neurodivergent, raising important questions about what the future of work will look like for them. Neurodiverse employees bring many unique strengths to the workplace, but companies may need to rethink how they design roles, environments, and expectations to support those strengths.

Our guest today is Dr. Eric Patton, Professor of Management at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, and author of the book Neurodiversity and Work. In this episode, we explore how organizations can better support neurodivergent employees and why embracing neurodiversity can benefit both workers and companies.
