Enna is revolutionising the world of work, so workplaces embrace neurodiversity, and neurodivergent individuals thrive ✨

Enna was founded by Emily Banks (who has ADHD herself) and was inspired by her neurodiverse family, who are autistic and dyslexic. 

Growing up, she understood that her Father and Brother were ‘different’. Why did they feel so uncomfortable in new situations, with new people and doing different things? Later, my Mum told me that they were autistic and dyslexic. For a long time, these words didn’t mean much to her. During her time at University, she developed an interest in understanding what they were, how it affected people like her dad and brother. She soon learnt that my brother and father weren’t alone, especially in their struggles to find employment.

After doing research during as a student, she learnt that over 20% of the worlds population are neurodiverse, to which over 60% of all autistic adults in the UK were unemployed. This represented a staggering 500,000 people, with lots of talent, skills, and a collective desire to start a fulfilling career.

She discovered that accessibility was a key problem facing neurodivergent people, which meant that many neurodivergent individuals were missing out on opportunities to get into sustainable employment.

Traditional recruitment methods just weren’t favourable to different ways of thinking and doing, and often meant many neurodivergent candidates felt pressured, anxious and uncomfortable. Employers were therefore missing out on exceptional neurodivergent talent.

Following this, she decided to widen her research, and got into contact with employers to understand their perspectives. Why were employers not hiring these talented individuals? Employers told her that they didn’t understand ‘invisible' disabilities and didn’t know where to find support.

Enna is here to change this.
