The Cambridge signs neurodiversity membership

February 1, 2023

The Cambridge Building Society has become a Corporate Member of Neurodiversity in Business (NiB) with a focus on building a neuroinclusive culture.

NiB is a network of organisations that promotes understanding of neurodiversity within the workplace. It also aims to highlight how companies can benefit from being neuroinclusive, celebrate difference and empower ND people to progress and realise their career potential.

Head of People at The Cambridge, Vicky Filler, said: “The Cambridge is known for being a welcoming and inclusive team of individuals who all have a unique something to offer, so becoming a member of NiB was a natural step.

“It can be easy to sometimes assume that we all think in the same way, which we know can stifle creativity and prevent some people from fulfilling their true potential. This membership will provide us with support and guidance, enabling us to do the right thing in the right way to support our team members.

“It’s definitely good for neurodivergent team members and helps to increase the understanding of everyone in the business and will also help us get the best from our teams.”

NiB has a range of resources to help member organisations, including monthly workshops, and half-yearly conferences, as well as sharing best practice and helping organisations develop staff training materials.
