Networking

Join Matthew Masters from Opus People Solutions to explore how councils and public sector organisations can create more inclusive and accessible recruitment processes and workplace experiences for neurodivergent people. Discover practical strategies to remove barriers in recruitment, provide effective interview adjustments, improve candidate experience, and strengthen onboarding and retention to build more inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive.

What practical changes can make the biggest difference for neurodivergent candidates and employees?

Join our Resourcing Network this November for an interactive online session with Matthew Masters from Opus People Solutions. Matt will share practical ways councils and public sector organisations can create more inclusive and accessible recruitment processes and workplace experiences.

The session will explore how organisations can strengthen neuro-inclusion across:

• Neuro-inclusive attraction strategies
• Accessible recruitment processes
• Interview adjustments
• Candidate experience
• Onboarding and retention
• Practical improvements

Neuro-inclusion affects every stage of the employee journey, from recruitment and HR to organisational development and the wider workplace experience. This session brings colleagues from across our networks together to share ideas, discuss challenges and learn from one another.

You will explore effective approaches, identify where challenges remain and consider practical ways to make public sector workplaces more inclusive and accessible.

Contribute to wider research

Matt is also looking to speak with local government leaders, HR professionals and recruitment specialists as part of his wider research project.

If you'd like to contribute your experiences and insights, please contact him directly at Matthew.Masters@opuspeoplesolutions.co.uk

Join the session to exchange ideas, explore practical solutions and help create more inclusive recruitment processes and workplace experiences across the public sector.

The wider session will continue for Resourcing Shared Service subscribers to hear more about WMJobs performance, projects and sector insight.
