SENSA® helps organisations make neuroinclusion practical.
Not just as policy. Not just as training. But in the way work happens every day.
SENSA® gives HR, People and OD teams a structured way to review workplace systems, spot friction points and build clearer, more consistent practice across recruitment, onboarding, adjustments, management and communication.
It is designed for organisations that want neuroinclusion to feel less dependent on individual confidence, and more built into the way people work.
A practical standard and implementation framework for neuroinclusive work.
SENSA® helps organisations move from individual awareness to shared practice. It looks at how work is designed, communicated and managed, then identifies where systems may be creating unnecessary friction for neurodivergent employees, candidates and managers.
The aim is simple: make neuroinclusive practice clearer, fairer and easier to apply across the employee journey.
A workplace standard
SENSA® defines what consistent neuroinclusive practice looks like across key parts of the employee experience.
A design framework
It helps organisations spot where process, communication or management practice creates avoidable hidden load.
A capability model
It builds internal confidence so neuroinclusive practice is not dependent on one person, one manager or one-off training.
Neuroinclusion is not a side issue. It is a work design issue.
Many organisations already care about inclusion. The problem is that care does not always translate into clear, consistent practice. That is where hidden friction builds.
Policies do not create consistency on their own
Policies are important, but people experience inclusion through everyday practice: how meetings are run, how instructions are given, how adjustments are handled, how managers respond and how work is paced.
Manager-dependent practice creates risk
When support depends on the confidence, knowledge or goodwill of individual managers, employees can have very different experiences in the same organisation. That creates inconsistency, anxiety and avoidable escalation.
Hidden load affects performance and retention
Neurodivergent employees may spend significant energy decoding unclear expectations, navigating unwritten rules, chasing adjustments or masking difficulties. That hidden load can affect confidence, wellbeing, productivity and retention.
Good design helps more than one group
Clear communication, predictable processes, explicit expectations and better follow-through do not only support neurodivergent people. They make work easier to navigate for managers, teams and new starters too.
SENSA® helps organisations move from reaction to design
Instead of waiting for problems to surface through individual cases, SENSA® helps organisations look at the systems around the person: recruitment, onboarding, adjustments, management practice, communication and everyday decision-making.
A four-stage process for turning awareness into consistent workplace practice.
SENSA® helps organisations find where practice is breaking down, decide what matters most, redesign the work and build internal capability so improvements last.
Diagnostic
Review how work actually happens across recruitment, onboarding, communication, management practice, adjustments and everyday decision-making.
Roadmap
Turn findings into a practical action plan, with clear priorities, sequencing and next steps.
Implementation
Redesign priority areas so processes, expectations and communication are clearer and easier to apply.
Practitioner Capability
Train named SENSA® Practitioners who help managers spot friction and support consistent neuroinclusive practice.
A practical benchmark for neuroinclusive workplace design.
The SENSA® Standard sets out what consistent neuroinclusive practice looks like across the employee experience. It is the design benchmark behind SENSA® tools, diagnostics, practitioner training and implementation work.
Recruitment
Clear, accessible and structured hiring processes that reduce avoidable exclusion.
Onboarding
Predictable, explicit and well-supported entry into the organisation and role.
Management Practice
Consistent expectations, clearer conversations and better manager confidence.
Workplace Adjustments
Processes that are easier to access, document, review and apply consistently.
Communication
Clearer communication norms that reduce hidden load and reliance on unwritten rules.
Organisational Design
Systems and decisions designed to work better for more people by default.
SENSA® does not replace individual reasonable adjustments. It raises the floor, so individual support lands in an organisation already designed to work better for more people.
Want a clearer picture before you start wider work?
The SENSA® Diagnostic Report gives organisations a focused evidence check before committing to a full roadmap, practitioner programme or implementation project.
It helps HR, People and OD teams see where neuroinclusive practice may be breaking down, where friction is showing up, and what to focus on first.
Need a practical starting point for managers?
SENSA® Neuroinclusion Essentials is a practical 3-hour training session for managers, HR and People teams who want to understand neuroinclusion and apply it in everyday workplace practice.
It is not generic awareness training. The session helps participants understand where work creates friction, how hidden load and masking show up, and what managers can do to make communication, adjustments and expectations clearer.
Participants leave with practical tools they can use immediately, including the SENSA® Friction Map, CLEAR Adjustment Conversation Guide and Better Brief Tool.
Use the free SENSA® Risk Indicators to see where practice may be breaking down.
The free tools give organisations a simple way to check two high-risk areas of neuroinclusive practice: reasonable adjustments and recruitment.
Reasonable Adjustment Process Risk Indicator
Check whether your adjustment process is clear, consistent and easy to use, or whether it may be creating delay, confusion or manager-dependent decisions.
Use This ToolRecruitment Risk Indicator
Check whether your recruitment process is clear, accessible and consistent, or whether candidates may be facing avoidable friction before they even start.
Use This ToolDesigned for organisations that need consistency at scale.
SENSA® is designed for organisations of around 50 people and above, where inclusion practice needs to work consistently across multiple teams, managers or sites.
It is particularly relevant where adjustment decisions, onboarding, recruitment or performance management vary depending on the individual manager rather than a clear organisational approach.
It is built for HR, People, OD, EDI and senior leadership teams who want neuroinclusion to move beyond awareness and become part of how the organisation works.
Choose the right starting point.
SENSA® can begin with a free process check, a practical training session, a focused diagnostic report, or a wider programme of roadmap, practitioner training and implementation support.
