Episode 92 of The Diversity Career Podcast explores how EY (Ernst & Young) turned dyslexia from a perceived workplace disadvantage into a structured career accelerator. Lucas and Luna dive into EY's Neurodiverse Center of Excellence, launched in 2016, and how the firm has since hired over 300 neurodivergent professionals, including many with dyslexia. They discuss the specific accommodations EY provides—like assistive technology, visual thinking training, and mentorship—and how these have led to higher retention and innovation. The episode also examines the broader business case: studies show dyslexic individuals often excel at pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, and big-picture thinking. Nearly one in five people have dyslexia, yet most companies have no formal support. EY's model is now being replicated by other professional services firms. This episode offers concrete takeaways for employers and professionals alike. #DyslexiaAtWork #Neurodiversity #EY #CareerAccelerator #WorkplaceInclusion #DiversityAndInclusion #AssistiveTechnology #VisualThinking #NeurodiverseCenterOfExcellence #Retention #Innovation #BusinessCase #ProfessionalServices #Careers #Inclusion #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DiversityCareerPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
