Hiring neurodivergent people helps companies and society

. The good news is that a growing number of companies, including Bank of America, are seeing the value in hiring these employees."It is not just the right thing to do, but it can actually be paramount in order to be successful," says Craig Froelich, chief information security officer at Bank of America.

In cybersecurity, for example, it's important to be able to anticipate the actions of an adversary and make sure the right defenses are in place long before the threat is on your doorstep."That means you need to be able to think about that problem from all different angles," adds Froelich."This is why diversity and inclusiveness has got to be part of your talent management strategy.", and it's reasonable to expect that the workforce should reflect that.

It's also important to proactively manage bias in recruiting teams. According to recent research from the Institute of Leadership & Management, employers – whether intentionally or not – often remain hesitant toward hiring neurodivergent candidates because they only recognize"risks" that are based on.

Finally, employers need to see to it that neurodivergent employees are fully supported once they're hired."The next generation is growing up with more pride and confidence to ask for what they need, and that includes neurodivergent individuals," says Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN, a global nonprofit organization that consults with corporations on enterprise-wide disability-inclusion initiatives.

Bank of America is dedicated to creating more pathways for underrepresented groups in the tech sector, including neurodivergent individuals. makes all employees feel welcome and helps companies unlock more innovation.
