in the workplace
About
Audir
Our Purpose: to build the next generation of workplaces where all people can thrive in their authenticity.
​
At Audir, we're passionate about the role of neurodiversity in the workplace and specialise in supporting those who appreciate the value of a broad range of thinking styles and perspectives.
​
We're driven to create environments where neurodiversity is understood, valued, and effectively leveraged to optimise business outcomes.
​
With lived experience of neurodivergence, we recognise both the strengths that our neurokin bring, as well as the challenges that they face.
​
We do this by:
Partnering with businesses we deliver neurodiversity education programs to co-design systems that embrace the value of neurodiversity in the workplace.
Supporting individuals - we deliver individual and group coaching that reveals strengths, identifies job fit, develops strategies to support high performance, and builds confidence to self-advocate in the workplace.

​
-
We listen to employers and individuals to understand strengths, challenges and needs.
-
We listen to those with lived experience - in the workplace, families, and the wider community.
