Like many Australian women, Jessica Chu received her autism diagnosis as an adult. But being unaware she was autistic had an impact on her work life.
It’s an outcome of working for a company taking a proactive stance on diversity and inclusivity. At Littlepay, applicants’ skills, motivation and preferences are revealed through an assessment tool before they are placed in a role that best leverages their strengths.
