Why does your organisation need to know about dyslexia?
- Around 10% of the general population
is affected by dyslexia to some degree, and this will
include a significant number of your staff, colleagues,
customers and trainees.
- People with dyslexia often have
particular strengths, which would benefit your organisation.
- Dyslexia may be preventing staff
from gaining qualifications, accessing training or applying
for promotion.
- Making an organisation dyslexia-friendly
can reduce stress, staff turnover and sick leave.
- Adjustments made for staff with
dyslexia are often simple, yet can benefit the whole
workforce.
- Supporting staff with dyslexia
improves their motivation, loyalty and efficiency.
- You will gain and retain more customers
of all types, by making your services dyslexia-friendly.
- Your organisation will be able
to demonstrate that it is making "reasonable adjustments"
to meet the requirements of disability
legislation.
