Abstract
Neurodiversity is an upcoming topic within the diversity management literature, with diversity networks as one of the management practices. Diversity management practices can contribute to the development of inclusion within an organisation. The aim of my research is to get insights into the way neurodiversity networks contribute to the development of inclusive workplaces for neurodivergent employees. I conducted interviews with board and non-board members of the different networks, I attended lunch sessions to observe and analysed documents. My findings are that the neurodiversity networks that I researched, want to contribute to the development of inclusive, righteous and safe working environments for neurodivergent employees and contribute to the vision and goals of the organisation. Multiple principles and activities of the networks have the potential to contribute to an inclusive work environment, however, to do so, the network should encourage and guard that changes are made on a strategic level within the organisation.
