Dyslexia Awareness Good Practice Guide for Employers

Dyslexia affects approximately 10% of the population, with varying degrees of impact on reading, writing, and processing information. However, individuals with Dyslexia often bring exceptional strengths in creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. 

 

Creating a workplace that supports neurodiversity — including Dyslexia — isn’t just about compliance or accessibility; it’s about recognising and nurturing the unique potential in every team member. 

 

Our new Dyslexia Awareness Good Practice Guide is a concise, easy-to-follow resource created specifically for employers. It’s designed to: 

 

Increase understanding of Dyslexia and its impact in the workplace 

 

Offer practical, operational-level tips for creating a Dyslexia-friendly environment 

 

Support inclusive recruitment, onboarding, and development practices 

 

Promote a culture of understanding, empathy, and empowerment 

 

Whether you’re new to the topic or already embedding inclusive practices in your organisation, the guide offers valuable insights that can support both your apprentices and the wider workforce. 

 

We believe that small changes can lead to meaningful impact. From adjusting communication methods to introducing simple workplace accommodations, employers have the power to foster an environment where everyone can thrive. 

 

As your apprenticeship training provider and workforce development partner, Linden is here to support you every step of the way. We encourage you to download the guide, share it with your teams, and start conversations about how your organisation can become even more inclusive.
