    Hello everyone,

    A big thank you to Susan for facilitating yesterday's discussion on neurodiversity in the workplace. Here is a summary of what we discussed along with some resources, thank you.

    Erik and Cinthya

    1. We discussed issues related to privacy and equity-depending on whether or not employees choose to disclose their neurodiverse status or needs
    2. What do accommodations look like as they can differ depending on the situation-this also includes things like offering specific tools and resources in a way that is inclusive and is part of support for all employees
    3. How do you balance having other employees perhaps needing to take on more duties as a result of these accommodations in a way that is equitable
    4. How do you change expectations for the group while not necessarily lowering them in terms of performance and if applicable activities related to promotion
    5. Ensuring that there is a culture of inclusion across the library so these issues can be discussed 
    6. We also discussed specific needs that populations such as veterans and folks dealing with PTSD might have
    7. Finally, we discussed these changes for the workforce as a whole and how are we as managers equipping ourselves to help our organizations adapt and change to meet these complex needs that change according to the individual situation
    8. Resources
