Awareness isn’t enough.

Too many organisations stop at surface-level conversations about neurodiversity. What workplaces need are strategies that turn good intentions into measurable outcomes, ones that support people, strengthen culture, and unlock performance.

That’s exactly what we’ll explore at Neuroinclusion: Key Considerations in the Workplace, taking place on Friday 26th September 2025 at the iconic Cheesegrater building in London.

This event brings together two expert voices offering dramatically different but complementary perspectives.

Expect practical insights, real-world examples, and future-focused strategies you can take straight back to your teams.

The morning includes breakfast, networking, and plenty of opportunities for discussion with like-minded professionals committed to shaping more inclusive workplaces.

Seats are limited - reserve yours today and be part of the conversation.

Wellness vs Wellbeing, two words often used interchangeably, but in workplace culture they mean very different things.

- Wellness often focuses on the individual: exercise, diet, lifestyle.

- Wellbeing goes deeper, recognising the role of leadership, culture, inclusion, and organisational support.

Choosing the right language matters. When we prioritise wellbeing, we show that people aren’t left to manage alone, they’re supported to thrive.

As the week winds down, it’s a great opportunity to tune into both your mind and your body. Hours at a desk, poor posture, or an uncomfortable chair can quietly sap your energy and focus.

Taking short standing breaks, practising gentle stretches, or rearranging your workstation for comfort can make a significant difference - reducing strain, improving circulation, and lifting your mood.

Remember, a well-designed workspace isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about supporting your body, enhancing your wellbeing, and helping you feel your best.

Even small adjustments can leave you heading into the weekend feeling refreshed, energised, and ready for what’s ahead.

Sometimes it’s not obvious that your surroundings are influencing how you feel - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here are three subtle signs to watch for:

1. Constant Fatigue – You’re always tired, even after rest. Poor lighting, noise, or ergonomics could be silently draining your energy.
2. Low Focus or Productivity – Struggling to concentrate? Your workspace might be overstimulating or poorly organised.
3. Mood Swings or Irritability – Feeling on edge more often than usual? Environmental stressors like clutter, uncomfortable seating, or lack of natural light can have an impact.

Small adjustments in your environment can make a big difference to your wellbeing and performance.

Even a few minutes of movement each day can boost posture, energy, and focus. From neck stretches to seated twists, wrist rotations, and calf raises, these simple exercises help counteract the strain of long hours at your workstation.

Tip: Micro-breaks every half hour make a huge difference!
