The simplest reasonable adjustment costs nothing
Many adjustments for neurodivergent colleagues are simple and free, such as sending the agenda before a meeting. The key is agreeing them with the person.
Stephanie KukoyiSenior People Scientist, Culture Amp
Reasonable adjustments can sound expensive and complicated. Stephanie Kukoyi, Senior People Scientist at Culture Amp, pointed out that many of the most useful ones cost nothing at all.
Simple measures make a real difference
Examples include assistive software, and simply sending the agenda before a meeting, so someone can read it in advance and focus on the discussion rather than on reading text in the moment.
The most important step is not the tool. It is working with the individual to understand what is reasonable and what would actually help.
Why it matters
A Texthelp study found that 64% of neurodivergent workers believe their organisation could be doing more to support them.
What to do this week
- Make sending agendas and papers in advance the default for every meeting.
- Ask, rather than assume: offer every colleague a chance to say what helps them work well.
- Check your managers know which simple adjustments they can agree without a long process.
