Welcome to Neurodiverse-friendly How to HR

We know that one size does not fit every reader. That’s why every guide and template in How To HR also comes in a neurodiverse-friendly version.

These use plain English, clear headings and dyslexia-friendly formatting, designed for autistic, dyslexic and ADHD readers — and easier for everyone else too.

Same trusted guidance, same templates, just presented in a way that works for more people.

Attract

From recruitment support to job design and interviews, we’ll help you find the perfect candidates for your team.

Engage

Our onboarding and reward and recognition strategies will help you keep employees happy, engaged, and ready to work.

Develop

We’re experts in training and development, 1-to-1s, and appraisals, helping you create a culture of growth and improvement.

Support

We understand that HR can be complicated and filled with legal jargon, which is why we’ve created an extensive collection of How-To templates to help with everything from absences to disciplinaries to flexi working, to menopause and family leave.
