Sopra Steria marks Autism Acceptance Month

World Autism Awareness Day and Autism Acceptance Month take place in April with the aim of increasing people’s understanding of autism to in turn create a more equitable and inclusive world.
 

Last week, Nick from our Shared Services Connected Ltd Resourcing team joined our Neurodiversity Network to lead a session on what organisations can do to improve employment outcomes for autistic people. Nick’s volunteer work consists of supporting autistic adults and consulting with lead employers on the barriers that can arise in recruitment processes and workplace scenarios.
 
Nick has a brilliant way of bringing examples to life and his engaging event got us all thinking about what we can be doing to make sure we’re enabling everyone to thrive at work.

Our Neurodiversity Network aims to support Neurodivergent colleagues and to openly embrace and represent all forms of neurodiversity across the organisation including; dyslexia, dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity and the autistic spectrum. 

The Network seeks to raise awareness, improve understanding and positively influence how these differences are supported within the organisation.  It offers a safe space where colleagues can speak openly about their experiences and learn more about how to support one another.
