Dyslexia in the Workplace

Creating a Dyslexia Friendly Workplace

Supporting dyslexic and neurodivergent employees is not just about compliance, it’s about building stronger, more inclusive organisations.

A dyslexia-friendly workplace helps establish a culture where all employees feel valued and are able to use their strengths, such as creative thinking, innovative problem-solving, and big-picture perspective.

By embracing inclusivity, you are investing in your people — ensuring you get the best from them, while they give their best to your organisation.

It doesn’t have to be costly

Creating a dyslexia-friendly workplace does not require expensive changes. Small, thoughtful adjustments often make a dramatic difference in employee performance and wellbeing.

Practical things to consider:

  • Staff awareness – Providing training so colleagues and managers understand both the challenges and strengths of dyslexia.

  • Flexible and supportive approaches – Adjusting policies and practices to meet individual needs.

  • Assistive technology – Tools like speech-to-text, text-to-speech, or mind-mapping software that enhance productivity.

  • Accessible communication – Sharing company-wide information in multiple formats: larger print, colour backgrounds, or audio recordings.

The benefits for your organisation:

A dyslexia-friendly workplace reduces stress, builds morale, and improves motivation. Over time, this can also help lower staff turnover and absenteeism,  saving your organisation both time and resources while strengthening employee loyalty.
