## This Learning Path Includes 3 Missions

Even though approximately one in three people are neurodivergent, most companies aren't neuro-inclusive. In this mission by author and inclusion expert Theo Smith, you will learn what is neurodiversity, why it is important and how being more neuro-inclusive will positively impact the performance and sustainability of talent within your organization.

When interviewing candidates with disabilities, they are often put at a disadvantage because of inaccessible interview places, assessment techniques, or assumptions that managers make about them. Learn from Yasmin Sheikh about the realities of interviewing disabled people, and what adjustments organizations can implement to make interviews more accessible and inclusive.

Inclusion is an active process: the actions we take to work together and co-exist in our organisation's environment is what brings out true team work, collaboration, innovation and results. However, some of the barriers to inclusion are invisible to us as we've never lived it. In this mission, you'll learn from the perspectives of Inclusion Advocates and campaigners who will broaden your perspective and show you how you can include people from every walk of life.
