A Workplace Needs Assessment is not a legal requirement, but helps employers and employees put in place positive strategies and reasonable adjustments in the workplace. Reasonable adjustments are a legal requirement to support an individual who is neurodivergent, has a mental health condition or disability, and can include changes to how things are done, physical changes to the workplace or the provision of equipment, software or support. The workplace Needs Assessment explores the impact of the individuals’ disability on the areas of reading, writing & reviewing work, organisation, time management, note taking and meetings, and makes recommendations for support strategies that can be put in place as reasonable adjustments.
