From task management to tech that can cut through colloquial language, #AI tools can be game-changers for autistic people, those with #ADHD, #dyslexia and other #neurodivergent workers. My latest for @YahooFinanceUK feat @perfectlyasc & @Autistica https://t.co/sa0PpDt5bh

Shared parental leave was introduced a decade ago to help even the load between new parents. But fewer than 2% of fathers have taken advantage of the policy. My latest for @YahooFinanceUK #parentalleave #paternityleave https://t.co/DOWLIYdDMU

RT @katesang: An important piece from @Lyd_Carolina which I was pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to

With diagnoses of #autism, #ADHD and other #neurodivergent conditions on the rise — due to increased awareness, and historic underdiagnosing in women — neuroinclusion isn’t a "nice to have" but a business (and moral) imperative. Mine for @YahooFinanceUK https://t.co/eyK21cFjZE

54% of men and 35% of women use AI tools at work. The AI gender gap not only amplifies biases like the pay gap, but entrenches discrimination within AI systems. Latest for @YahooFinanceUK ft Prof Luckin from @uclknowledgelab @fabian_stephany @ErinChaoLing https://t.co/7x5Fed0Y1j

There's a (very) fine line between motivation and uncontrolled ambition that leads to #burnout. For years, women have been sold a lie that they can 'have it all' - the support structures necessary don’t exist. My latest for @YahooFinanceUK https://t.co/iBQFDGqRAQ

RT @susie_dent: Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Autistic people and those with #ADHD and other #neurodivergent traits are being forced into self-employment - because 'traditional' employment is so inflexible, and favours neurotypical workers. My latest for @YahooFinanceUK #autism https://t.co/VzHI0MDKY5

Meaningful support for menopausal workers goes beyond one-off 'wellbeing talks' - my piece for @YahooFinanceUK why 'meno-washing' is holding back real progress #WorldMenopauseDay https://t.co/QUnMIcn0r4
