At the County, we are dedicated to creating a workplace where every employee feels valued, supported, and included. Since 2022, the Board-initiated Neurodivergent Excellence program has driven efforts to foster a more inclusive environment by expanding outreach and recruitment of neurodivergent individuals and providing training for staff. Through partnerships with community organizations and a biennial survey, we continue to assess our progress and guide improvements across the County. 

To help us measure how far we’ve come and identify opportunities for growth, we are launching the second biennial Neurodivergent Workforce Inclusion Progress Survey. The survey will be open from Feb. 26 to March 12. This survey is your chance to share valuable feedback based on your personal experiences – feedback that will help shape a more inclusive and equitable workplace. 

Your input is vital. This survey will allow us to evaluate what’s working, highlight areas for improvement and ensure we continue making meaningful impact. Let’s keep building a workplace where everyone belongs. 

What You Need to Know About the Survey: 

✔ Anonymous and Confidential: Your responses will remain anonymous and will be reviewed only in aggregate form. 
✔ Conducted by a Trusted Third-Party: Rangam Consultants, a consultant with global expertise in disability inclusion and neurodiversity, will administer the survey. 
✔ Quick and Easy to Complete: The survey will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. 
✔ Administered via SurveyMonkey: Employees will receive an email from Rangam Consulting with a link to participate when the survey opens. 

Next Steps 

Look for an email from Rangam Consulting when the survey opens on Feb. 26. Please take a few minutes to complete it and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
