Neuroextraordinary audit and action planning
Starting with people, adjusting your mindset, and creating change that lasts.
Most organisations don’t come to me because everything is broken. They come because something feels off.
Despite best intentions, HR and EDI teams don’t always see the impact they’re aiming for when addressing gaps in experience between neurodivergent and neurotypical colleagues. When policies and lived experience don’t align, confidence in the system and the organisation, slowly erodes.
The Neuroextraordinary Audit creates space to pause, listen, and understand, before solutions are rushed and opportunities are missed.
The challenge
Grievances involving neurodivergent staff are increasing. Engagement is dipping. Managers feel anxious and unsure about how to support their staff effectively. You can sense something isn’t working, but you don’t yet know why.
What’s happening
This doesn’t mean your people or leaders are failing. It usually means systems are under strain, and no one has had the space to step back, listen properly, and get curious about what’s really happening.
The way forward
This audit helps you understand the causes behind the patterns you’re seeing, and gives you a clear, prioritised way forward that reduces risk, rebuilds trust, and creates lasting change.
How I work
I work hand-in-hand with HR and EDI partners to deliver a deeply people-centred approach. I start by listening carefully and without judgement, and by asking questions like:
What is work actually like for people here?
Where are systems asking individuals to absorb too much?
What assumptions are shaping decisions, often without anyone realising?
Where are areas of best practice shining through already?
I bring curiosity first, then gentle challenge, not to apportion blame, but to uncover what’s really driving risk, disengagement, and conflict.
What I explore
I then pull in data to explore what’s really happening and to establish firm benchmarks to assess impact against. Every audit is tailored, but often includes:
Where policies and practice don’t align
How reasonable adjustments conversations are being held, and decisions made
Where pressure is turning into a grievance or escalation
How leaders are navigating uncertainty and risk
Whether parents and carers of neurodivergent children are being quietly overstretched
This work focuses on causes, not symptoms.
What changes
Clients can expect to see:
Fewer grievances and crisis moments
Improved engagement and trust
Better attraction and retention of talented neurodivergent staff
Greater consistency and confidence across teams
A shift from firefighting to intentional action
