What it is

475 tribunal judgments. 428 neurodivergent employees. 412 employers. Three independent research programmes. The same conclusion. ADHD-related tribunal claims have risen sixfold in five years. Employers are losing cases not because they're malicious but because they don't know what they're looking at when an ADHD symptom gets documented as a character flaw. This webinar presents the findings, tells the story of what happens when organisations get it right and wrong, and gives every attendee three specific things to do on Monday morning. Evidence-led. Practically focused. No guilt. No jargon. Just the data and what to do with it.

Part one

Damning Evidence

The data from three research programmes, presented clearly and without jargon. What the numbers say, what they do not say, and where your organisation almost certainly sits in them.

Part two

Living Proof

James Wenger on building genuinely adaptive, inclusive cultures from the inside. Businesses awarded a place in the Times 100 Best Companies to Work For five years running, which then survived hostile takeovers, turned profitable in a notoriously difficult industry, and were ultimately acquired by an industry behemoth. All of it before he knew he was neurodivergent, and what the ADHD diagnosis made sense of in retrospect.

Part three

The Workshop

Three real tribunal scenarios. Your instinct first, then what the judgment actually said. Plus the eight questions every manager should be able to answer before any formal process begins.
