Recruitment, onboarding and performance systems can unintentionally filter out dyslexic talent. This masterclass shows where that happens and how to refine the process.
Participants gain practical insight into how dyslexic thinking presents in professional environments, and how HR touchpoints can reduce language load, processing pressure and structural barriers.
What we cover
- Recognise patterns in recruitment and HR systems that unintentionally create barriers
- Reduce unnecessary cognitive load in hiring, onboarding and performance processes
- Adjust communication to reflect a strengths-based, capability-focused lens
- Design practical dyslexia-informed adjustments across HR touchpoints
- Understand how intentional system design influences performance, retention and inclusion
