Workplace Needs Assessment
What is a workplace needs assessment?
Workplace Needs Assessments (WPNAs) aim to identify any challenges an employee may encounter at work due to neurodiversity or disability. It is impartial and determines bespoke reasonable adjustments that could be put in place to support the employees and set them up for success. Each assessment is unique to the employee and their job role.
They’re also crucial for organisations to fulfil their legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010, ensuring support for employees with disabilities, these can include long-term health conditions, mental health challenges, physical impairments and neurodiversity.
