There’s been a great deal of talk about red flags lately. Let’s look at some of the Red Flags when it comes to ADHD-Friendly Workplaces!

These are a few things that would make any workplace less inviting, but can be detrimental to someone with ADHD.
Lacking Psychological Safety
Employees should be able to trust their boss, leadership, or HR when it comes to discussing reasonable accommodations or what is needed on the job. If an employee does not have this trust, there is a critical lack of psychological safety.
Inflexible scheduling
Even roles that need certain coverage for customer support can be worked out with everyone’s best interests in mind. If one team member needs to shift their hours, that shouldn’t be a deal breaker.
Set work location
If you work asynchronously, or with geographically diverse teams, rigid rules on returning to office were not well received. As long as you are doing good work and meeting expectations, the location shouldn’t matter.
Workplace GREEN FLAGS
We know what to steer clear from, but what are some of the best workplace dynamics to seek out as you transition into new roles?
Flexibility
The clear message that you are trusted to do your work where and when it works best for you.
Acceptance and support
You like to doodle in meetings? Cool. You want to take a few meetings without video to reset? That works! You ask someone to Slack or email you, so you can come back to it later. They’re happy to oblige.
Overall employee wellness
Reasonable metrics, ample paid time off, and the ability to put you and your family ahead of work when needed.
