About manageADHD
Why We Exist
Across countless workplaces, the same well-meaning sentence keeps appearing:
“If you have ADHD, let us know how we can help.”
The problem?
Most ADHD employees don’t know what they need, and most organisations don’t know what to offer. HR teams worry about saying the wrong thing. Managers feel unprepared. And ADHD talent is left trying to self-advocate inside systems never built with them in mind.
I’ve lived this. I’ve been the employee who was full of potential — but didn’t fit the mould. I’ve experienced the confusion, the overwhelm, and the sense that even large, sophisticated organisations weren’t equipped to support someone like me. Not out of neglect, but out of uncertainty.
ManageADHD exists to close that gap.
The Problem
ADHD isn’t a minor workplace quirk.
It affects consistency, communication, planning, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate unstructured environments — yet it also brings creativity, resilience, big-picture thinking, problem-solving, and intrapreneurial drive.
Most businesses only see one side of that equation.
Without the right support:
- ADHD staff burn out
- Performance becomes inconsistent
- Talent disengages
- Good people leave
- Managers feel out of their depth
- HR feels unsure how to intervene
It’s not fair for line managers to intuitively “know” how to support ADHD employees.
Complex minds require clear systems, practical guidance, and structured understanding — none of which most organisations currently have.
Our Mission
At ManageADHD, our mission is simple:
help businesses like yours support and retain their ADHD talent — and bring out their best.
We do this by providing the clarity that both employees and employers have been missing. Instead of vague promises to “help however we can,” we offer concrete, actionable solutions. We start by giving organisations 25 solid, easy-to-read, immediately applicable steps that dramatically improve the ADHD employee journey from the moment they join.
We’re here to reduce overwhelm, ease uncertainty, and turn good intentions into meaningful action. But we’re also here for something bigger.
We believe ADHD minds are capable of exceptional value — not just as employees but as intrapreneurs, internal innovators who push companies forward when their environment supports them. Our mission is to make sure organisations don’t just accommodate ADHD talent… but truly capitalise on the potential it brings.
Our Approach
Our approach is human, structured, and deeply practical:
1. Clarity over guesswork
We replace open-ended, anxiety-filled questions (“What support do you need?”) with concrete, evidence-based guidance.
2. Simple steps, big impact
Our initial 25 recommendations are intentionally uncomplicated — because real change starts with small, confident actions.
3. Empowering both sides
We help ADHD employees feel understood and supported, while giving managers and HR teams the confidence to do their jobs without fear or confusion.
4. Turning potential into performance
With the right environment, ADHD staff aren’t just retained — they thrive, innovate, and elevate the culture around them.
5. Warm, human communication
No clinical jargon. No corporate coldness. Our resources are written with empathy, lived experience, and a deep understanding of how ADHD feels.
What We Believe
- ADHD is not a deficit — it’s a difference.
- Support should be proactive, not reactive.
- People do best when expectations are clear and environments are structured.
- Managers need guidance, not pressure.
- ADHD talent is a competitive advantage when nurtured well.
- Every person deserves to feel capable, consistent, and understood at work.
- Culture shifts happen through simple, practical, everyday actions.
- The best workplaces don’t just accommodate difference — they harness it.
How It Works
Supporting ADHD talent doesn’t need to be complicated.
In fact, most businesses already want to do the right thing — they just don’t know where to start.
We give you a simple, structured path that brings clarity to everyone involved.
1. You receive our 25 ADHD Workplace Essentials
We begin by giving you 25 practical, low-effort, high-impact steps that immediately improve the experience of ADHD employees. They cover onboarding, communication, clarity, environment, workflow, and support — all written in plain English, all instantly actionable.
These aren’t theories or academic guidelines.
They’re real-world fixes for real-world problems.
2. You identify your ADHD talent
We work with your HR team to help you reach out sensitively and effectively to the people in your business who may benefit — without pressure, stigma, or awkwardness.
This ensures support reaches the right people at the right time.
You don’t need diagnostic details, personal disclosures, or medical information.
Just willingness.
3. Each employee receives tailored guidance
Every ADHD employee gets access to personalised, easy-to-digest materials that help them understand:
- what ADHD means for them at work
- what support options are available
- how to communicate their needs
- how to build clarity, consistency, and confidence
We make the invisible challenges visible — and manageable.
4. Managers get simple, confidence-building tools
We equip line managers with exactly what they’ve been missing:
clear, compassionate guidance on how to bring out the best in their ADHD team members.
No guesswork.
No fear of “saying the wrong thing” - Just practical direction they can trust.
5. Your organisation unlocks the potential of its ADHD talent
With structure, understanding, and simple adjustments, ADHD employees:
- feel calmer
- perform more consistently
- think more creatively
- stay longer
- contribute more
- add real strategic value
The end result?
A happier workforce, stronger culture, and a genuine competitive advantage.
6. Ongoing support as your needs grow
As your organisation evolves, we provide deeper support — from advanced guidance to performance tools, communication frameworks, and long-term ADHD development pathways.
We help you go beyond retention and into activation of your neurodivergent talent — including intrapreneurial thinking, creative problem solving, and leadership potential.
