Inntel is supporting Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2023 with a range of initiatives as it aims to change attitudes on how neurodivergent individuals are perceived across the sector.
Neurodiversity Celebration Week is a worldwide initiative challenging stereotypes and misconceptions
about neurological differences. Inntel encourages suppliers, clients and industry professionals to recognise the many talents and advantages of
people who are neurodivergent and highlight the need for more inclusive and equitable
organisational cultures within the sector.
Inntel is a corporate member of Neurodiversity in Business - a registered charity and business-led
forum promoting best practice on ND recruitment, retention and empowerment.
In addition, customer relationship manager Tiffany Casson has been in place as NiB Ambassador since October 2022.
In this role, Casson is focused on being an ally and using influence and her network to
build greater awareness and engagement. Her approach has led to initiatives with industry trade
bodies and membership organisations, including beam, the Institute of Travel Management and the Business Travel
Association.
Casson has also developed working relationships with
organisations focused on the wellbeing of business travellers and those that work within the sector, including Eventwell – a provider of neuroinclusive and mental wellbeing friendly spaces at events, and
Simpila Mental Health which promotes mental health in the travel industry.
During Neurodiversity Week 2023, as NiB Ambassador, Casson is involved in a range of initiatives
including:
Neurodiversity awareness training for Inntel employees
BTA Webinar – Neurodiversity in the workplace
Neurodiversity Annual Conference 2023 | ExCel London | 16 March 2023
Dan Harris, CEO of Neurodiversity in Business,
said: “We’re pleased that Tiffany, with a genuine passion and desire to make a real difference
for neurodiverse people, stepped up to represent the UK’s travel industry. It’s a massive trade sector
which we recognised needed stronger representation. So, we were pleased to invite Tiffany to take
up a voluntary role of NiB Ambassador for the UK travel industry. Almost immediately, Tiffany started
driving awareness for change within the sector, influencing progressive initiatives with her own
employer and across travel industry bodies.”
Douglas O’Neill, CEO of Inntel, added: “Tiffany has brought more than
just her passion on this issue into the heart of our business, her role as NiB Ambassador is enabling
her to build awareness across industry suppliers, partners and clients. As a service brand that thrives
on being agile and innovative, the clear link between neurodiverse people as exceptional problem solvers and creative thinkers, means we need to rethink how to create inclusive spaces for current
and future employees who are neurodiverse and Tiffany is leading us in the right direction.”
