Assessment Insights
✅ We want to normalize the fact that everyone works best in different ways and make those preferences known so more support can be offered.
✅ Completing a workstyle profile can be a good starting point for employees or managers seeking guidance and support from a workplace neurodiversity program.
✅ Preferences do shift over time for all people, but our goal is simply to capture current information. This can always be reevaluated in the future.
