Why Offices Are Failing Neurodivergent Brains

Why Offices Are Failing Neurodivergent Brains

This week, Sam and Katie explore how the spaces we work in shape our focus, wellbeing and productivity- especially for ADHD and neurodivergent brains. Why do open-plan offices so often feel overwhelming? And what would it take to create workplaces where everyone can actually thrive?

They’re joined by workplace design expert Kay Sargent, who has spent years rethinking how environments can support diverse minds. Together they dig into why choice and flexibility matter more than “perfect design”, how small, low-cost adjustments can make a huge difference, and why neuro-inclusive design is not just good for individuals, but good for business too.

From the hidden costs of noise, light and temperature, to the challenge of hybrid working and the culture shifts companies need to embrace, this is a practical and inspiring conversation about reshaping work so that neurodivergent people- and everyone else- can bring their best selves to the table.
