ADHD 101 for Managers

Managers are frequently placed in the position of supporting employees and colleagues with ADHD—often without the training or foundational knowledge needed to do so effectively. This webinar provides a clear, practical introduction to ADHD in the workplace, equipping managers with the tools to better recognize and understand its impact. Participants will explore how ADHD presents in professional settings, how it may differ in personal environments, and why those differences matter. With the CDC estimating that up to 1 in 16 adults are diagnosed with ADHD, and many more undiagnosed, this session delivers timely, relevant insights for today’s workforce.

Designed specifically for managers, this webinar takes a deeper look at identifying workplace behaviors that may be ADHD-related while separating fact from fiction. Attendees will examine common misconceptions, gain a stronger understanding of neurodiversity, and learn how ADHD traits can shift depending on context. By exploring both professional and non-professional presentations, managers will be better prepared to support individuals effectively and foster a more inclusive, productive work environment.
