Practical Strategies for Inclusive Change

Local Government Reorganisation will bring teams together and reshape roles. While this creates new opportunities, the scale and pace of change can also present additional challenges for neurodivergent employees.

Preparing now means councils are better equipped to support their workforce through uncertainty. With the right understanding and approach, organisations can reduce stress, retain valuable talent, and support staff effectively throughout the transition.

This is an online event, organised by the 16th September, and delivered in an interactive format for practical discussion and application.

Delivered by

Talent Bank associate Emma Lord

What the Training Covers

  • Effective communication during periods of change
  • Supporting anxiety and uncertainty in the workplace
  • Understanding executive functioning challenges
  • Practical approaches to reducing overwhelm at work
  • Ways to support neurodivergent colleagues through organisational transition

Why It Matters

Embedding inclusive practices during LGR does more than support neurodivergent employees. It also:

  • Strengthens team cohesion
  • Improves retention of skilled staff
  • Reduces stress and disengagement
  • Builds a more resilient and adaptable workforce for the long term

Who Should Attend?

This session is designed for anyone involved in leading, managing, or supporting people through Local Government Reorganisation, including:

  • Senior leaders
  • Heads of service
  • Team managers and supervisors
  • HR and OD professionals
  • Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) leads
  • Change and transformation teams
  • Anyone with responsibility for staff wellbeing, communication, or service continuity during LGR

Delivery

  • Online interactive event
  • Organised by the 16th September
  • Designed for practical discussion, real examples, and immediate application in the workplace
