I’m reaching out to see if anyone has developed or come across any effective roadmaps, toolkits, or frameworks to support employees with ADD/ADHD (or other forms of neurodivergence) in an agency. As we continue to build more inclusive and supportive environments, I’d like to understand how other organizations are approaching setting these employees up for success, from onboarding to career development. Whether it’s structured support plans, coaching programs, or awareness/training initiatives for managers and teams, I’d love to learn what’s worked well in your experience.

Here’s an article from AdAge about how agencies can support neurodiverse employees that I found helpful (we circulated this among all our leaders): https://adage.com/article/agency-news/how-ad-a

Here’s an article from AdAge about how agencies can support neurodiverse employees that I found helpful (we circulated this among all our leaders): https://adage.com/article/agency-news/how-ad-agencies-support-neurodiverse-employees/2543341. If you can’t access the link, I can paste the article in an email. We also use something for all employees we call a WOW doc (ways of working) that prompts employees to talk about the best ways to work and communicate with them (for example, when/where are they most productive, do they work better with background noise/music vs. quiet, do they prefer email, text, call or slack for questions, etc.). It’s not specifically meant for neurodiverse employees, but seems to be helpful by giving them an outlet to share how they work best (without singling them out since everyone fills it out). Happy to share a copy of that form if you want.

Hi Jody,
This is super helpful. If you could share a copy of that article that would be great. And I would love to see the form if you don’t mind sharing that as well. THANK YOU so much!
