How to Become an Autism Inclusive Employer: A Roadmap
Through our suite of tools, we guide you through a roadmap for employer to utilize. Here’s a preview of the steps that we focus on:
Step 1:
Advantages of Hiring Employees With Autism
Learn how your business can access tax benefits, increase retention rates, and create the inclusive culture and measurable environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) framework that today’s buyers and potential employees expect.
Step 2:
Understanding Autism
Understanding Autism: Some 5.4 million adults in America have autism. We can help you learn more about the characteristics of autism and prepare you to interact more efficiently with employees with autism.
Step 3:
Plan for Inclusivity
You’re ready to match employees to the right position and, when necessary, carve out roles that will utilize the strengths of employees with autism.
Step 4:
Understanding Workplace Accommodations
Workplace accommodations are typically low-cost and positively impact the entire workplace. We help you identify which accommodations are needed and understand tax deduction or rebate programs available.
Step 5:
Best Practices -- Recruiting
We show you where and how to appeal to candidates with autism and connect you with key players in the autism community, including the global Els for Autism®️ Foundation.
Step 6:
Best Practices -- Interviewing
Our interview strategies help you create a structured interaction that provides innovative ways for candidates to demonstrate skills so that you can more accurately gauge each candidate’s fit.
Step 7:
Best Practices -- Onboarding
Comprehensive and well-planned onboarding is a key factor in ensuring a successful transition for your newly hired team members. Our Employer Toolkit makes it easier for you to set up your new employees for success.
Step 8:
Best Practices -- Retaining
Our Employer Toolkit and expert consultants give you specific steps and tools for retaining employees with autism. These tools include visual schedules, task analysis, and mentoring.
