#76 - Neurodivergence Inclusion (Andrea Girlanda)

Future Hacker (English)

Guest: Andrea Girlanda. According to a Harvard publication, as much as the number of people with autism entering the workforce in the next 10 years is on the rise, currently, the unemployment rate among people with autism is over 80%. The number of companies involved in neurodiversity hiring initiatives is modest today, as is the number of participating workers. How can companies without the resources for dedicated programs make real progress in bringing neurodivergent employees into their organizations? What are the main challenges? To talk about that, we have Andrea Girlanda. Andrea has 20 years' experience working for global technology and media companies serving in both technical and commercial roles. He worked with TV networks, publishers, global media agencies and global advertisers until 2019 when he joined Auticon UK as its CEO, to oversee business development and introduce purpose in his professional life. Auticon is an international social enterprise and B2B tech company providing IT consulting services and employing exclusively professional consultants on the autism spectrum.
