1 in 7 people are neurodiverse, yet 96% of UK employees hide it. At Groundwork Yorkshire, we believe embracing neurodiversity builds resilience. Inclusion isn't just accommodation; it's optimisation. Let's create workplaces where no one is held back. #Neurodiversity #Inclusion #GroundworkYorkshire

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.
