How GitHub supports neurodiverse employees (and how your company can, too)

Supporting neurodivergent employees is essential in the global workplace as their unique perspectives can enhance team productivity by up to 30%, according to Deloitte. GitHub fosters neurodiversity through Neurocats, a Community of Belonging (CoB) that supports hundreds of employees by providing a safe space for discussing their lived experiences, fostering a sense of community, and promoting flexibility and accommodation in the workspace. The group also holds monthly meetings to address topics such as ADHD, autism, and mental health. Furthermore, the company encourages open dialogue and acknowledges the unique contributions of its neurodivergent employees, bolstering an inclusive environment that helps them thrive.
