What is The NeuroDrive Team?
The Neurodrive Team helps modern companies integrate neurodiverse communication, culture, and needs to bridge the gap between innovation, productivity, and well-being, so your entire organization thrives and revenue grows.
We are Autistic and ADHD professionals who collectively form a training and consultancy team to help growing modern companies take their current HR and DEI framework, company culture and neurodiverse workforce to the next level of innovation, diversity, productivity and growth through our speedy, adaptive and efficient NeuroDrive Blueprint.
No need to reinvent the wheel, throw out everything you have and start from scratch OR create committees to implement a 60+page playbook. Time and cost are two of the biggest factors stopping most companies from incorporating new frameworks. We get that!
