This episode delves into the topic of neurodiversity within the hospitality industry, particularly focusing on ADHD. Michael, alongside guest Gareth, explores how recognizing and accommodating neurodiversity can lead to better business outcomes, improved staff retention, unleashed innovation, and enhanced employee wellbeing. Gareth shares his personal journey from growing up in a hospitality family to experiencing burnout as a hospitality manager, eventually leading to his ADHD diagnosis. He discusses the impact of this diagnosis on his career and personal life, and the steps he has taken to adapt his work environment to his needs. The conversation highlights the importance of creating a workplace culture that is open, understanding, and supportive of neurodiverse employees. Gareth also shares his vision for a neurodiversity-friendly hospitality industry and offers advice for both neurodiverse individuals and leaders in the sector.
