Add neurodivergence option to Employee Diversity Declaration

Overview

A new enhancement has been introduced to the Employee Diversity Declaration form to support the inclusion of neurodiversity in workforce reporting. HR and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) teams can now enable the option to ask:

“Do you consider yourself to be neurodivergent? (e.g. autistic spectrum condition, dyslexia, ADHD, etc)?”

This addition aims to promote greater awareness and inclusivity by giving employees the opportunity to self-identify as neurodivergent, if they choose to.

Key benefits

• Supports inclusion by acknowledging neurodivergence as part of diversity.
• Improves reporting for HR and D&I managers to better understand the needs of their workforce.
• Customisable to fit organisational needs and terminology.

How it works

A new flag has been added to Human Resources parameters to control whether the neurodivergence question should be displayed.

When enabled, the question appears on:

• The Employee Self Service diversity declaration screen.
• The Employee Diversity form available to HR users.

Organisations can configure a custom list of neurodivergence options (e.g. dyslexia, autism, ADHD) that employees can choose from.

Navigation path:
Navigate to Human resources > Setup > Diversity declaration to configure the neurodivergence options.

Responses are stored securely and treated in accordance with the organisation’s data privacy policies.

This enhancement helps organisations foster a more inclusive environment while maintaining flexibility and compliance in how diversity information is collected and used.
