Employee and family benefits

Employee Benefits That Recognise the Whole Person

An employee's experience of neurodivergence does not begin and end at work.

Why it matters

Support that complements your existing wellbeing offer

We can develop bespoke employee and family support pathways that sit alongside existing wellbeing, Occupational Health, Employee Assistance or benefits arrangements, with clear boundaries and referral routes agreed at the start.

The clinical relationship is always with the individual. Nothing is shared with an employer without the employee's consent.

Employees may be

  • Exploring their own neurodivergence
  • Awaiting assessment
  • Adjusting after diagnosis
  • Seeking workplace support
  • Parenting a neurodivergent child
  • Navigating school systems
  • Supporting a neurodivergent family member

Access to autism, ADHD and relevant specialist assessment pathways for employees or eligible family members, subject to clinical suitability and agreed partnership scope.

Answers

Questions about employee and family benefits

Written to be genuinely useful, and short enough to read at the end of a long day.

What is a reasonable adjustment?
Under the Equality Act 2010, an adjustment is reasonable if it removes a substantial disadvantage without disproportionate cost or disruption. In practice most neurodiversity adjustments are low or no cost, such as written follow-ups, flexible hours, quiet space or agendas in advance. This is general information rather than legal advice.
Can Sensational Minds support employees seeking assessment?
Yes. Employers can fund autism, ADHD or dyslexia assessment pathways for employees, subject to clinical suitability. The clinical relationship is with the employee and nothing is shared with the employer without their consent.
Can employee benefits include support for family members?
Yes. Employee and family pathways can include parent support, Education Navigation, psychoeducation and assessment guidance for eligible family members, within the scope agreed in your partnership.
Can Sensational Minds work alongside our HR, EDI or Occupational Health team?
Yes. We usually work alongside existing HR, EDI, wellbeing, Employee Assistance and Occupational Health arrangements rather than replacing them, and we agree clear boundaries and referral routes at the start.

Where Should Your Organisation Begin?

You may need an accessible learning programme for your workforce, practical development for managers, an independent review of existing arrangements or a specialist partner to support longer-term change. We will help you identify a proportionate starting point based on your organisation, workforce and priorities.

You do not need to have everything worked out before speaking to us. A conversation can help clarify what your organisation already does well, where barriers may remain and which next step is most useful.
