Offering flexible working helps recruit and retain great people.
Air Traffic Control Provider NATS used the Fair Work Tool. It helped them adopt flexible working and keep people healthy and motivated.

If you are neurodivergent, what types of accommodations have helped you at work?
*My neurodivergent students are researching workplace accommodations. They’re doing their own research, but I said I’d be happy to tweet out this question as well and to share with them what I hear! – at Washington, DC

We're still looking for employers to discuss what Fair Work looks like and how to make employment better for autistic people. If you are an employer of an autistic person we'd love to hear from you (please RT)
We've completed part 1 of our Fair Work Autism research (surveys!), now we're onto part 2 - follow up interviews with autistic people and with employers to gain deeper information. I had my follow up interview (autistic person) with Jos and it was great
