About this service:

HR and Dyslexia is a focused workshop presented by Chris Cole and Dorenda Britten of Unlock Innovation.

Designed for HR professionals, people and culture leaders, talent acquisition teams and organisational decision-makers, the workshop explores how recruitment, onboarding and performance systems can unintentionally filter out dyslexic talent.

​

Participants gain practical insight into how dyslexic thinking presents in professional environments and how HR processes can be refined to reduce language load, processing pressure and structural barriers.

​

What We Cover:

Participants will be able to:

  • Recognise patterns in recruitment and HR systems that unintentionally create barriers.

  • Reduce unnecessary cognitive load within hiring, onboarding and performance processes.

  • Adjust communication to reflect a strengths-based, capability-focused lens.

  • Design practical dyslexia-informed adjustments across HR touchpoints.

  • Understand how intentional system design influences performance, retention and inclusion.

  • Take practical steps towards dyslexia-informed ways of working
