We created this video because we’re on a mission to inspire other companies to unlock the talent of individuals on the autism spectrum and their ability to contribute to workplaces like yours.
We’ve made a number of accommodations to find this talent, and are doing our very best to create an environment where our teammates can thrive:
- We work with community partners, like Specialisterne and the Pacific Autism Family Network to identify great candidates
- We transformed the interview process, favouring assessing behaviours over situational Q&A
- We offer a tailored orientation and training program for Autism at Work hires
- We are committed to coaching managers, teams and colleagues on how to create an inclusive environment where all team members can be at their best
- We provide mentors for our Autism at Work hires – a colleague to help acquaint them to SAP, their team, and their role
On first glance, this might seem like a lot. But when it really comes down to it, whether you’re a small local company, or large multinational like us, this program is scalable. And what’s more, individuals on the autism spectrum will bring real value to your company. Be it incredible attention to detail, pattern recognition, remarkable memory, or a penchant for repetition, Autism at Work is transforming our workplace, and it can transform yours, too.
