When it comes to the work we do in the world, there is one thing we all have in common. We're all human.
And yet, humanity in the workplace (and elsewhere) isn't always what we're focused on. Join Kim and Louise as they are joined by Behavioral Therapist Katheryn Bermann for an insightful episode where we delve into the importance of recognizing each other's humanity in the workplace, especially through the lens of neurodiversity.
From enhancing collaboration to fostering a positive company culture and improving employee well-being, we explore how embracing empathy and understanding can lead to greater team success.
