Workplace Support: Dyslexia and disability in the workplace
We specialise in recruiting and deploying highly trained and skilled dyslexia and disability specialists to support staff in the workplace.
We match highly-trained Workplace Skills Mentors with each individual referral.
Using tried and tested techniques as well as the latest assistive technology; we work with each individual to design strategies which overcome barriers they experience in the workplace.
Mentors work with an individual’s strengths to incorporate these effective strategies into normal work processes.
Improved time management and organisation ensure that work deadlines are met and individuals operate as effectively as possible. This reduces the stress levels and costs caused by wasted time.
Our targeted support helps individuals to stay focussed, plan their time effectively and reduce anxiety.
Individualised strategies and tips will enable employees to achieve their potential and increase the benefits and value to an employer. This in turn increases staff retention which also improves overall productivity.
