Ivey Executive Education Presents: Learning In Action

Traditional work conditions were developed with a narrow vision of what kind of worker should succeed. Many organizations still operate with the approach that individuals who fall outside of these traditional ideals must seek individualized accommodations to help them adapt to the traditional work environment. However, when we design work environments specifically to support Neurodiversity, we not only foster a better sense of belonging for everyone on the team, but the design changes often benefit all employees. Together, our panelists explore how universal design elements that support neurodiversity at work often benefit all employees, delve into personal experiences on how design integrations can succeed, and share insights on boosting inclusivity in operations. 
 
For this episode, produced in collaboration with the Neurodiversity Employment Research Project, we’re joined by guests: 
  • Jamell Mitchell, EY Global Neuro-Diverse Centers of Excellence Ecosystems Leader
  • Patrick Poljan, Board President of Arc of the Capital and Former Senior Vice-President, Finance & Executive Sponsor, Neurodiversity at Dell
  • Chloe Cameron, Ivey HBA '12, Ivey MBA '21, PhD candidate in Organizational Behaviour at Ivey Business School
