ADHD Works At Work
Navigating the working world with ADHD can be tricky business for everyone - but it doesn't have to be. Understanding what ADHD actually is, how to talk about it at work, identifying what can help and ways to harness it within the workplace can be as overwhelming as getting a diagnosis - until now.
This easy-to-read guide will help you to understand, support, and harness ADHD at work.
It's written by best-selling author of ' an A to Z', Leanne Maskell, combining her legal background in mental health and disability law with her experience in running ADHD Works, training companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, and Disney UK on all things ADHD. This book is for employers and employees alike, bridging the gap with transparency and accessibility for everybody to make ADHD work at work. It bridges the gap between Human Resources and the humans they're there to help with professional and personal lived experience - and lots of templates to turn your knowledge into tangible action at work.
Confidently talk about ADHD at work, cultivate disability friendly cultures, and level the playing field by understanding reasonable adjustments that work for ADHD. Learn ADHD coaching and management skills to harness the endless strengths of ADHD at work - no quitting required!

AMAZING.
Super helpful, encouraging, informative and generally like the hug I needed when I went through the process of disclosing ADHD at work!

An invaluable insight into making the most of ADHD at work, as an employee, employer, manager, and mentor. The angles of approach and thought on the subject, the value achieved, the possibilities to tap... It's fascinating. Leanne has identified the how, what, when and why of disclosure, navigation, coaching, management, and more.
Why 4-stars instead of 5-stars? The book is undoubtedly an advert for ADHD Works, Leanne's coaching and support service, but its repetition was overwhelming. I didn't need to hear it called out time and again. Perhaps it was my ADHD that made it a problem, calling out success in such an obvious way when no one was calling out my own in getting to the next page, the next chapter...
A good read with valuable insight and helpful advice on approaching many areas, including Access to Work, structured templates and more. Recommended.

This book didn't meet my expectations. Following Leanne on social media, I hoped for way more specific and practical advice.
Unfortunately, many of the suggestions are quite generic. The content isn't well organized and is very repetitive. ADHD coaching is mentioned (advertised) in almost every section.
The biggest issue is that most of the content (like 75%) is related to UK-specific laws, rules, and programs that aren't relevant elsewhere.
The valuable chapters of the book, which tackle the topic of dealing with ADHD in the workplace, building on its strengths, managing people - are only about 15 to 20% of the book.

I think every person with ADHD in the UK should read it.

Leanne’s knowledge is incredibly valuable. This book is a brilliant addition to her first ADHD book ‘ADHD: an A to Z’, with this focused on managing ADHD at work.
