AB Talks: Managing ADHD in the office: What employees and employers need to know

Arabian Business spoke with ADHD expert Dr George Sachs about ways employers can create an ADHD-friendly work environment and ways employees with ADHD can cope in offices not designed for the neurodivergent

ADHD, classified as a neurodivergent condition, comes with many related issues – motivation, focus, and inability to perform mundane tasks among them.
