Summary 6/1 K&D Benjamin Fisch

In their article, “Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage” Austin and Pisano explain the struggle of those who suffer from neurological conditions to get positions in the work place. They go on to explain further that the typical process of hiring in the work place, (job interview,) cuts out many individuals with neurological issues like autism from having a chance at getting hired. This is important, because firstly it is unfair, and secondly individuals with autism for example may have extraordinary skills that would greatly benefit the intentions of a business. The issue is that those with neurological conditions are under represented in the work place. However, their is a solution to this and notable companies are starting to take action towards it. “A growing number of companies’ HR practices are capitalizing on the talents of neurodiverse people. In the process, they are becoming better able to fully leverage the skills of all workers.”
