Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Step into the world where awareness is the first and most important step. We’ve learned that diagnoses aren’t necessary; instead, it’s all about talking openly about challenges, wishes, and strengths. We’ve found that investing time and effort into each person’s unique skills pays off big.
Welcome to learn with us about neurodiversity in working life!
Embracing neurodiversity
According to studies, neuroatypical diversity is something that as many as 15-20% of people possess. Clearly this is a type of diversity we all should embrace and understand better.
As many neurodivergent people see the world a bit differently, understanding neurodiversity more deeply not only creates better work life but also helps to design and build better and more inclusive digital services for people around us.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion is – and always has been – in the DNA of Gofore. During the last 20 years, we’ve been building a workplace that is the best one for each Goforean. A workplace where one can be their authentic self and feel included. A workplace where one can trust having equal opportunities.
In 2023, we decided to take neurodiversity as one our focus areas when it comes to our DEI. The topic had been raised both by Goforeans as well as our People leaders so we figured it’s something we all need to understand better.
When our People Leaders expressed a desire for deeper insights into neurodiversity, little did we know that this curiosity would spark. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the practical steps taken toward neuro-friendly work place, the changes observed in our work culture, and the lessons learned along the way.
Our commitment to neurodiversity extends beyond our community, thanks to active involvement from Goforeans and over 10 partners and customer companies. Together, we’ve talked, shared experiences, and deepened our understanding of neurodiversity as a united community. The blog summarizes how neurodiversity theme sparked discussion and increased awareness outside of Gofore 2023.
The work community, and therefore also Gofore as a company, is developed by the efforts of all Gofore people. We support the development of experts in a versatile way, taking individual needs into account. We care!
