Two University of Birmingham alumni have launched a company-wide neurodiversity training programme at Data Literacy Academy.
Greg Freeman (pictured, left), founder of Data Literacy Academy, and Iveta Pudilova (pictured, right), founder of National Neurodiversity Training, are running the programme over three months.
The training is designed to help all staff support neurodivergent colleagues and improve workplace culture.
A recent neurodiversity audit found 92% of staff saw neurodiversity as essential at work, but 72% rated their own knowledge as average or below.
Freeman said: “We’re growing fast, but we want to grow responsibly. Partnering with National Neurodiversity Training allows us to embed structural change early.
“Neurodiversity is a competitive advantage – supporting our people means stronger performance, greater retention, and a healthier workplace in the long term.”
Pudilova said: “The University of Birmingham connected us, and this partnership is part of the legacy in action.
“We’re enabling workplaces to boost both productivity and employee experience through structures that support every employee to show up fully as themselves and thrive. That’s what this training is about.”
