Event Description

A practical masterclass for business leaders, managers & people professionals

Solent Growth Partnership invites you to join award-winning Neurodiversity Speaker and Consultant, Maisie Cass, for an engaging and practical morning session exploring how neuroinclusive approaches can support organisations to attract and retain talent, strengthen communication, and create workplaces where people can thrive.

As organisations face increasing challenges around recruiting talent, supporting younger employees, retaining skilled staff, and building inclusive workplace cultures, many are recognising that traditional approaches no longer meet the needs of today's workforce.

About the Session

This interactive masterclass goes beyond awareness to provide practical tools, frameworks, and resources that can be immediately applied within your organisation.

You’ll gain valuable insight into how neurodiversity impacts communication, motivation, wellbeing, and performance, and how simple, practical changes can improve employee experience while strengthening team effectiveness and business outcomes.

What We’ll Explore

  • Why recruitment, retention and engagement challenges are increasing across many sectors
  • How neurodiversity influences communication, motivation, wellbeing and performance
  • Common workplace barriers that unintentionally exclude talented individuals
  • Practical approaches to more inclusive recruitment, onboarding and management
  • How small changes can reduce friction and improve performance
  • Why neuroinclusive design benefits everyone – not just neurodivergent employees
  • How inclusive workplaces can enhance customer experience, reputation and long-term sustainability

What You’ll Leave With

  • A practical framework for building a more neuroinclusive workplace
  • Templates, tools and resources ready for immediate use
  • Increased confidence in supporting, managing and retaining diverse talent
  • Clear, actionable steps to improve recruitment, onboarding and employee experience
  • Ideas to strengthen engagement and organisational performance
  • A roadmap to develop your own neurodiversity strategy

Who Should Attend?

This session is ideal for:

  • Business owners
  • Senior leaders and managers
  • HR professionals and people teams
  • Anyone responsible for supporting, managing or developing others within their organisation

Why Attend?

Neuroinclusive workplaces don’t just enhance employee experience — they help organisations attract talent, reduce unnecessary friction, strengthen engagement, and unlock more consistent, sustainable performance.
