The launch of neurohub for business gives HR and People leaders a practical, scalable way to build workplaces where neurodivergent employees can prosper, while improving business culture, engagement and performance for everyone.” https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vK_fK0 … Email most trusted New research from Exclaimer, a global leader in email signature management, shows that adults in the UK and US are now managing communications across six or more channels – or should that be ‘barely managing’, as 22% say they have missed important information because it was sent on a platform they rarely check. The same proportion have struggled to find an important message because it was sent using the ‘wrong’ platform for the type of information in question; 18% have lost an important message because a communication platform deleted it, an account was closed or they switched to a new device. The research highlights the doubleedged impact of AI. While 58% admit to using it to help them communicate, AI’s ability to create polished, professional content at scale has caused 41% of those responsibility and a strategic business opportunity. However, building neuroinclusive workplaces has traditionally been complex, fragmented and difficult to sustain. neurohub by neurobox guides HR teams, EDI managers and employees through every stage of the journey, from first assessments to ongoing workplace adjustments, coaching, awareness training and measurable impact reporting. It embeds inclusivity at scale, drives measurable change and saves valuable time by reducing the manual management of staff support initiatives. Jason De Turris, COO of neurobox, said: “Every organisation already employs neurodifferent people, whether they realise it or not. Those that take over a theoretical ‘kill switch’ that enables external jurisdictions to compromise domestic operations, while also exposing them to provider infrastructure failures, unpredictable costs, restricted portability, incomplete data visibility, legal exposure and the practical difficulty of extracting from providers subject to foreign jurisdiction. Almost three quarters (73%) of UK organisations now consider sovereignty a strategic priority (a 12-point rise since last year); 64% believe continued reliance on a small pool of global cloud providers is unsustainable; and 66% say they would consider switching cloud provider to regain control of their data and infrastructure. Civo points out that the desire for change is becoming more acute as AI adoption accelerates, with 58% of UK IT leaders expressing concern about their AI provider’s legal jurisdiction and 43% saying AI workloads must be within UK jurisdiction. Nonetheless, successful migrations to a domestic alternative have stalled at 15% and only one in four UK firms believes they could exit a major US provider entirely. The number of respondents expecting to become more deeply entrenched in US hyperscaler systems has more than doubled over the past year, rising from 12% to 28%. Mark Boost, CEO of Civo, said: “UK leaders clearly want to break free from Big Tech dependency, but find themselves trapped by an ever-tightening web. This is not a proactive investment or deliberate strategy. It is a symptom of organisations becoming increasingly ensnared in the same hyperscaler ecosystems they acknowledge to be a significant long-term risk…When organisations cannot easily move workloads, fully see where their data is governed or predict the cost of exit, cloud dependency becomes a board-level risk.” … neurohub platform for businesses will help create more neurodiversity-friendly workplaces Cambridge-based workplace inclusion specialist neurobox is helping organisations attract, retain and empower diverse talent with the launch of a digital support platform for the one in five employees with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other neurodivergent profiles.
