Training, Consultation and Employee Coaching
Increasingly, organizations are filling the need for skilled, college educated workers by tapping an underutilized labor pool: individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and similar autism spectrum profiles. Corporations like Ford Motor Company, Freddie Mac, SAP AG and Willis Towers Watson actively recruit employees on the spectrum to enhance their business success.
Forward Motion Coaching offers a variety of training and consulting services to assist with the recruiting and management of employees on the spectrum. Whether you wish to explore, start or expand a hiring initiative; increase the effectiveness of neurodiversity or inclusion programs; need guidance on managing existing employees; or seek training for managers and/or employees, we can help!
