Turning neurodiversity into a business advantage

I help HR and business leaders move beyond awareness to embed neuroinclusion into how work actually gets done, improving performance, retention and inclusion across the employee lifecycle.

What we do

No two brains are the same.

There is no ‘typical’ neurodivergent profile, only individuals with different strengths, challenges and ways of working.

The organisations that get this right don’t rely on labels or assumptions.
They focus on understanding people and designing environments where everyone can perform at their best.

That’s where we come in.

At Neuroinclusive HR, we help organisations embed neuroinclusion across the employee lifecycle, turning good intentions into practical, everyday actions that improve both experience and performance.

About me

Mel Francis, Chartered FCIPD, is the Founder of Neuroinclusive HR and a recognised expert in neurodiversity at work. 

With over 25 years in HR, Mel has held senior leadership roles across Higher Education, Edtech, Publishing and Telecoms. She has worked across public, private and not-for-profit sectors, and is known for turning complex people challenges into clear, practical solutions that deliver real impact.

Her specialism in neurodiversity is grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience. As a mother to a neurodivergent son, she brings a deep, personal understanding of how different ways of thinking can shape both potential and challenge.

Mel works with organisations who want to move beyond awareness and take meaningful action. She partners with HR and business leaders to embed neuroinclusion into everyday practices, from recruitment and onboarding through to leadership, performance and employee relations.

A sought-after speaker, facilitator and advisor, Mel is known for making neurodiversity practical, relevant and commercially credible. Her work builds confidence, capability and clarity, enabling organisations to create environments where people can do their best work.

Her approach is underpinned by a simple belief. When we design workplaces that work for neurodivergent people, we create organisations that work better for everyone.

"I've seen Mel in action a few times now, she explains things in clear layman's terms, she doesn't judge, and she'll meets you wherever you are on your ND awareness journey."
