What if some of the biggest psychosocial risks in your organisation are sitting inside populations your strategy has filed under diversity, inclusion or personal health?

In this episode of Unapologetic Edge, Philippa Scott explores two of the most systematically underserved populations in the Australian workforce: neurodivergent employees and women in perimenopause.

Many neurodivergent employees are carrying the invisible cognitive and physiological cost of masking in workplaces designed around neurotypical norms. At the same time, women in perimenopause may be managing disrupted sleep, cognitive changes, anxiety, fatigue and significant shifts in capacity while being assessed against performance baselines established before their physiology changed.

These experiences are often treated as individual issues.
