About this episode

Neurodiversity is not always visible, understood, or valued in the workplace. But systems and cultures that support neurodivergent team members can lead to increased productivity and healthier workplaces – for everyone. Psychologist Dr. Ludmila Praslova joins Anne and Frances to discuss her groundbreaking book, The Canary Code, which guides readers through the work of “neuro-inclusion.” Together, they explore ways that better communication, innovative people practices, and more flexible job design can reduce stress and increase engagement across social, cognitive, and emotional differences.
