WORKPLACE (EMPLOYEES)
I’m an Employee
Work at its best is rarely straightforward. Expectations, communication, and capacity don’t always line up, and it can be difficult to work out what is actually going on.
This page brings together practical workplace resources for employees with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence.
You may be dealing with difficulties at work, trying to understand what support is available, or unsure how to approach conversations about adjustments.
The aim is to help you make sense of your options and decide what might be relevant to your situation, at your own pace.

A step-by-step guide to the Access to Work process, including eligibility, common barriers, and the types of support that may be available, so you can decide whether it is worth pursuing in your situation.

Assistive Technology & Workplace Support (via Remtek Systems Ltd)
We signpost to Remtek Systems Ltd, an established UK provider of assistive technology and specialist workplace support, if you are looking for more structured or practical support in situations where things are not working as expected.
They can support with:

- Workplace needs assessments covering ergonomic, disability and neurodiversity needs.

- One-to-one or group coaching to explore different ways of approaching focus, organisation, and day-to-day work.

Many services can be funded through the government’s Access to Work scheme, with only a small employer contribution in some cases. Your employer may also be involved if adjustments need to be implemented at work.
