CII warns firms are missing out on neurodivergent talent
Insurance Business
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) warns that traditional recruitment practices are excluding neurodivergent candidates, who possess valuable skills in data analysis and attention to detail, at a time of high demand for these abilities in the insurance sector. The CII's guide highlights how biased hiring processes, such as automated CV screening and subjective interview criteria, disadvantage neurodivergent applicants, while also noting that only a small percentage of neurodivergent employees feel supported in the workplace. The guide recommends simple, low-cost adjustments to recruitment and management practices to better access this underutilized talent pool.
