oday, 1 in 44 people are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but only 14% have paying jobs. Organizations across various industries are implementing autism at work programs to attract neurodiverse talent, which can promote diversity of thought, different approaches to work, innovation, and creativity. As companies diversify their workforce, what can they do to ensure the success of these employees?

In this Unlimited Learning Expert Webinar Series session, Eric Patton, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Management and Jane North, Senior Vice President of Claims, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, will discuss how to embrace neurodiversity in the workplace and create a culture of ongoing support. The conversation will be moderated by Lily Bowditch ’23, current student (Managing Human Capital/Autism Studies) and Kinney Scholar.
