What can happen when a company takes the time to educate themselves on autism?

Sometimes, that learning changes the way they see their workplace and the talent around them.

During World Autism Month in April, Baptist Health partnered with U Can Employ™ to provide autism inclusive workplace training to their team, including nurses and hospital staff.

The conversation didn't stop with creating more autism inclusive experiences for patients and families. It opened the door to a bigger question: “How can we become more inclusive of autistic talent, too?"

That question led Baptist Health to explore opportunities to hire local talent in Palm Beach County with support from the Employment Programs team at Els for Autism®.

The result? Baptist Health successfully welcomed one of our clients to their team at Bethesda Hospital.
This is what can happen when education expands the way an organization thinks about autism! It can influence how a company serves its customers, supports its employees, and recognizes talent within its community.

We’re grateful to Baptist Health for turning awareness into action - and for creating an opportunity for autistic talent to thrive!

For Tina, having a job means more than earning a paycheck. It means having something that is hers - earning her own money, enjoying the things she loves, and being part of a team.

When asked what she likes about working, Tina didn’t hesitate: “I love that I have a job and make money for my nails and Dunkin’ Donuts.”

And when asked how being employed makes her feel? “Makes me feel good. I love my job.”

But perhaps what Tina values most is the sense of belonging she has found at North Palm Beach Country Club. She shared that the staff “make me feel a part of my team.”

That feeling of being welcomed, valued, and included is what meaningful employment can look like. We’re grateful to the team at North Palm Beach Country Club for creating a workplace where Tina can contribute, connect with her coworkers, and feel proud to be part of the team.

Many workplaces are built around an assumed “right” way to communicate, collaborate, and work.

Autism inclusion invites employers to think differently.
Simple practices like:
→ Clear expectations
→ Advance notice
→ Written follow-ups
→ Multiple ways to communicate

can remove unnecessary barriers and help employees do their best work.
And these practices don't only benefit autistic employees - they can create a stronger workplace for everyone.

Inclusion isn't about lowering expectations. It's about removing barriers to success.

What could change in your workplace if you started designing for inclusion?

When Arcis Golf partnered with U Can Employ™, they invested in building the systems and training needed to become an autism inclusive employer.

At The Club at Weston Hills, the integration of their employee, Za'khouri, sourced through The de Moya Foundation, has been a masterclass in how cooperation drives success. By collaborating with U Can Employ™, the leadership team received the critical education and training needed to build a supportive, high-performing environment.

Za'khouri’s success is a perfect example of what happens when a brand decides to lead with action. This initiative serves as a blueprint for the entire golf industry - it proves that when you lead with intentionality, you gain a more resilient workforce and a forward-thinking brand.

What if some of your strongest candidates never make it past the interview?

Many hiring processes are designed to evaluate how well someone interviews rather than how well they can perform the job. Candidates who think differently may be overlooked because they communicate differently, take longer to process questions, or don't excel at the unspoken social expectations that often come with interviews.

The question for employers isn't whether autistic individuals can succeed in the workplace. The question is whether your hiring practices are identifying the talent your organization needs.

When companies focus on skills, strengths, and potential - not just interview performance - they often uncover exceptional employees who bring unique perspectives, strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and innovative thinking.

Inclusive hiring isn't lowering the bar.

It's making sure the right people have the opportunity to reach it. Contact us at [email protected] to learn more about how your organization can make the most out of their talent pool.

U Can Employ is grateful to expand our partnership with Arcis Golf as we support the continued growth of autism-inclusive practices at The Montgomery Club.

Creating an inclusive workplace isn't just about providing support - it's about recognizing and leveraging talent. The good news? Inclusion doesn't require a complete overhaul. Simple practices like clear communication, defined expectations, and thoughtful workplace supports can help employees thrive while strengthening team performance overall.

We are grateful for companies like DICK'S Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, LSI Next Gen, and YASH Technologies who have recently taken simple first steps to learn more about what autism inclusivity can look like for their companies.

When organizations create environments where everyone can contribute their strengths, the result is stronger teams, greater innovation, and a culture of belonging.

As conversations about workplace inclusion continue to expand, one opportunity remains especially important for organizations: creating pathways for autistic adults to be hired, supported, and to feel a sense of belonging through a culture of inclusion.
