Neurodiversity management in Polish organisations – examples of good practices

Zarządzanie neuroróżnorodnością w firmach w Polsce – przykłady dobrych praktyk

The main objective of this paper is to identify neurodiversity management solutions implemented in selected Polish organisations. In 2022 one of the leading Polish newspapers announced a contest for Polish companies to vote for the best Polish employer. The results of the contest were examined in this research paper within the framework of the case study analysis. There were five categories considered in the contest. However, only Category 5 was related to neurodiversity management and it was duly taken into account. Category 5 went with the heading: "For the implementation of ESG solutions – for employee engagement in sustainability processes, for transparent policies on employee communication". The analysis allowed for the identification of scarcity of Polish companies ready to implement neurodiversity management practices. Following the results of the study suggestions are presented for companies to facilitate neurodiversity inclusion for creation of work environment in which both neurominorities and neurotypicals can flourish thus contributing to organizational success. 

Głównym celem niniejszego artykułu jest identyfikacja rozwiązań z zakresu zarządzania neuroróżnorodnością wdrożonych w wybranych polskich organizacjach. W 2022 r. jedna z czołowych polskich gazet ogłosiła konkurs dla polskich firm na najlepszego polskiego pracodawcę. Wyniki konkursu zostały przeanalizowane w niniejszej pracy badawczej w ramach analizy studium przypadku. W konkursie wzięto pod uwagę pięć kategorii. Jednak tylko kategoria 5 była związana z zarządzaniem neuroróżnorodnością, wobec czego została uwzględniona w badaniu. Kategoria 5 to: „Za wdrażanie rozwiązań ESG — za zaangażowanie pracowników w procesy zrównoważonego rozwoju, za przejrzystą politykę komunikacji z pracownikami”. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwoliła na zidentyfikowanie niedoboru polskich firm gotowych do wdrożenia praktyk zarządzania neuroróżnorodnością. W związku z wynikami badania przedstawiono sugestie dla firm, aby ułatwić włączenie neuroróżnorodności w celu stworzenia środowiska pracy, w którym zarówno osoby neuroróżnorodne, jak i osoby neurotypowe mogą się rozwijać, przyczyniając się w ten sposób do sukcesu organizacyjnego.
