Inclusion Programs

At Employ for Ability, we partner with organisations to design, implement, and support neuroinclusive employment programs that empower neurodivergent talent while ensuring businesses have the tools and knowledge to create sustainable and meaningful opportunities.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”
Henry Ford

 

Consultation and Program Design

We work closely with key stakeholders to co-design inclusion programs tailored to the unique needs of each organisation. Rather than bypassing existing systems, we take the time to understand how your organisation operates. This allows us to seamlessly integrate our proven neuroinclusion strategies into your processes—enhancing, rather than disrupting, the way you hire and support neurodivergent employees.

Talent Sourcing

Traditional recruitment methods often fail neurodivergent jobseekers, many of whom have disengaged from conventional job boards due to repeated rejection in standard application processes. Our approach is different. We leverage targeted talent sourcing strategies, engaging with neurodivergent communities via social media, partnerships with Disability Employment Services (DES), the broader employment sector, and educational institutions. This ensures that untapped talent is connected with opportunities where they can thrive.

Talent Screening and Assessment

Our screening and assessment process is at the heart of our success. We continuously refine our methods based on insights and feedback from both successful candidates and those who were not offered employment. This iterative approach—co-designed with neurodivergent jobseekers—ensures that our selection process prioritises job fit, employment satisfaction, and long-term success. Our commitment to learning and evolving means we are always improving how we assess, match, and support neurodivergent talent.

Employer Readiness and Transition Into Employment

A successful inclusion program does not end at hiring—it starts there. We provide comprehensive training and education for employers to build confidence and capability in supporting neurodivergent employees. Our training, awareness, and education initiatives begin early in the engagement process and continue throughout, ensuring host employers have the knowledge and tools needed to foster an inclusive and supportive workplace.

In-Workplace Specialist Support

Our team doesn’t just source and assess talent—we remain actively engaged post-placement to ensure a smooth transition into employment. Our workplace support includes:

  • Ongoing coaching for neurodivergent employees to help them settle and succeed.
  • Direct support for managers and team leaders to equip them with the skills and confidence to effectively lead and develop neurodivergent employees.
  • Dedicated escalation points for specialist intervention in unique cases.
  • Phone and email-based support hotlines for urgent assistance.

With our holistic and collaborative approach, we ensure that neurodivergent employees are set up for long-term success, and businesses have the frameworks in place to support an inclusive workforce.
