Purpose: This study aims to determine the areas of influence of the neurodiversity concept on the management of organizations in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: We evaluated the above-mentioned areas on the basis of a qualitative analysis of the content of the expert panel entitled "Neurodiversity in management" which took place during the 15th International Scientific Conference "Knowledge - Economy - Society" CMQ2023 - May 25, 2023 at the Cracow University of Economics. Findings: Having studied the opinions of experts, we found that the concept of neurodiversity may influence the following areas in the management of Polish organizations: talent management, recruitment and selection methods, sensory accessibility, inclusive organizational culture and training policy, support for professional activation and career counseling. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of the conducted research is the number of experts who took part in the discussion. It needs to be emphasized that due to the assumptions of the qualitative study, the selection of experts was guided by the criterion of knowledge of autism issues and the diversity of experiences in cooperation with neurodivergent people. Practical implications: The practical rationale for undertaking research in this area is the five times lower employment rate of neurodiverse people in Poland compared to the average for the European Union. Taking into account the experts opinions about mentioned issues allows for institutional and organizational solutions to be prepared thus to increase the employment of these people. Conducted panel, in which the academic community participated, contributes to raising awareness of neurodiversity and may be the basis for further research. Furthermore, the findings are relevant to managers since they suggest the use of effective strategies that could design solutions tailored to the needs of neurodivergent people and thus increase their employment. Originality/value: This article organizes the existing knowledge about neurodiversity and specifies the areas in the organization's activities that may be particularly influenced by it. Findings from this study may be of interest to various groups, including neurodiverse people, rganizations, state institutions and other researches.

Purpose: This study aims to determine the employment opportunities of neurodiverse people, related to the assessment of the suitability of their skills and the adaptation of working conditions to their needs by the managers in Poland. Design/methodology/approach: We evaluated the above-mentioned employment opportunities on the basis of a statistical analysis of empirical data collected among the 51 managers of various organisational entities in a Polish company. Findings: Having studied the opinions of managers, we found that most of the unique skills of neurodiverse workers are perceived as valuable. At the same time, some critical adaptations required to meet their needs are regarded as problematic and thus may potentially pose a barrier to broader employment of neurodiverse people. In addition, the obtained results deepen the previous findings of researchers on the basis of the science of management and quality by verifying whether there is a relationship between managers' assessment of the usefulness of the skills of neurodiverse people and possible, in the opinion of managers, adaptations of working conditions. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of the conducted research is the number of managers who took part in the survey. It needs to be emphasized that due to the purpose of the study, number of respondents was less important than the diversity of organisational entities, which they represented. Nevertheless, conducted research contributes to raising awareness of neurodiversity and may be the basis for further research. Practical implications: The practical rationale for undertaking research in this area is the five times lower employment rate of neurodiverse people in Poland compared to the average for the European Union. The awareness of the managers' opinions about mentioned issues allows for institutional and organizational solutions to be prepared thus to increase the employment of these people. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to examine employment opportunities of neurodiverse people in various organisational entities in a company. Findings from this study may be of interest to various groups, including neurodiverse people, organizations, state institutions and other researches.
