Workplace Needs Assessments
Identifying practical reasonable adjustments
A workplace needs assessment helps build a clear understanding of an employee's strengths, challenges and the support they may need to perform at their best. Suitable for individuals with a confirmed or suspected neurodivergence, mental health condition, physical disability, sensory impairment or menopause-related challenges, the assessment provides a personalised approach to workplace support.
Our partners specialist assessors explore how an individual's role, working environment, communication, wellbeing and day-to-day responsibilities may be impacted, before developing tailored recommendations designed to remove barriers and maximise strengths.
Following the assessment, organisations receive a comprehensive report outlining:
Practical and reasonable workplace adjustments
Strategies to improve productivity, communication and wellbeing
Recommendations for AI tools, assistive technology and other supportive resources
Guidance for managers on how best to support the individual
A clear employee support plan with actionable next steps
Recommendations that help organisations meet their obligations under the Equality Act 2010
The result is a practical roadmap that helps employees work more effectively, managers support with confidence, and organisations create a more inclusive and productive workplace.
Diagnostic Assessments
Gain clarity through specialist assessment
Our diagnostic assessments help individuals gain a better understanding of how they process information, learn and work. Suitable for employees who may be experiencing challenges associated with specific learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyspraxia or dyscalculia, the assessment provides detailed cognitive profiling to identify both strengths and areas where additional support may be beneficial.
Following the assessment, employees receive a comprehensive report outlining the findings, potential workplace impacts and recommendations to support success in their role. The outcome is greater understanding for everyone involved, helping employees access appropriate support while enabling managers and organisations to make informed decisions around workplace adjustments and ongoing development.

Neurodiversity Coaching
Turning recommendations into lasting habits
A workplace needs assessment provides valuable insights and recommendations, but meaningful change happens when those strategies are put into practice. Our coaching programmes provide structured, personalised support to help employees build confidence, overcome barriers and successfully implement the recommendations identified during their assessment.
Working with an experienced coach, employees can develop practical techniques that suit their individual needs, refine strategies as their role evolves, and gain support in embedding new habits that drive long-term success. Sessions may include guidance on assistive technology, communication techniques, workload management, organisation and other workplace strategies designed to improve productivity and wellbeing.
By turning recommendations into sustainable ways of working, coaching helps employees maximise their strengths, managers support more effectively, and organisations achieve lasting value from their neurodiversity investment.
