Neuroinclusion is an operating-system decision: our new Business Age article

We’re pleased to share that Business Age has published a new article by Divergent Thinking founder Nat Hawley: Why neuroinclusion is an operating-system decision for growing SMEs, not a benefits add-on.

Growing organisations often wait for a larger HR team, a formal diversity strategy or an individual adjustment request before tackling neuroinclusion. The article argues that this misses the point: as a business grows, informal habits become its operating system.

It looks at practical ways SMEs can build clarity and accessibility into everyday work: making outcomes and ownership visible, helping managers address work friction without needing clinical expertise, preserving effective support through handovers, and separating genuine contribution from preferred workplace styles.

The central message is simple: design the way work happens early. Clear briefs, visible decisions, defined urgency, flexible ways to contribute and owned review dates support neurodivergent colleagues while making the business more reliable for everyone.

Read the full article in Business Age and explore why neuroinclusion is part of the operating system a growing business chooses to scale.

Divergent Thinking helps organisations translate workplace neuroinclusion into practical recruitment, onboarding, line-management, adjustment, retention and progression practices.
