Neurodiversity at work: Understood.org's Nathan Friedman on what leaders get wrong about 70 million employees
One in five Americans has a learning or thinking difference, and 53% of Gen Z identifies as neurodivergent — which means neurodivergent employees are already on your teams whether they've disclosed it or not. Nathan Friedman, Co-President and CMO of Understood.org, argues that the organizations best positioned to engage this talent aren't just the ones with the most progressive DEI policies. They're the ones that have quietly redesigned how work actually gets done — and they have the business results to prove it actually serves them.
