2023 HSE Gradlink students support neurodiversity in the workplace

Neurodiversity explains the unique ways people think, learn and interact with the world around them. About 15 to 20% of the population is estimated to be neurodiverse.

International Women’s Day 2023
International Women’s Day (IWD) took place on 8 March 2023. The theme for IWD was embracing equity.

Many HR supports are available to assist you, depending on your circumstances. Email diversity.hr@hse.ie for more information on equity in the workplace and the supports available to all staff.
