We help companies become a destination for neurodivergent talent.
and technology solutions that benefit from our autistic DNA.
Encourage Co. partners with organizations to apply untapped talent to a workplace environment that appreciates brilliance, uniqueness, dedication, and a strong work ethic while enhancing the social and economic lives of neurodivergent adults and creating a more inclusive workplace culture. Many organizations are not designed to accommodate and facilitate individuals with cognitive disabilities. It is difficult for neurodiverse employees to get hired as most businesses still insist on hiring based on the employee being a “good fit” in the company’s culture. Neurodivergent talent sourcing is driven more by personal connections than by structured processes. Employers often rely on a combination of internal and external partners to find the talent they seek. This approach is fundamentally slow and requires a lot of legwork. We utilize an entrepreneurial mindset to develop curriculum and solutions to social and environmental challenges faced by autistic professionals, helping them to succeed in the workplace.
