What if the key to building stronger, more innovative teams starts with removing the “boxes” we place people in? In this episode of the TroopHR Podcast, Taylor Bradley sits down with neurodiversity advocate and founder of the Neurodiversity Training Institute, Racheal Pallares, to explore how organizations can create workplaces where different ways of thinking are not just accommodated - but celebrated. Racheal shares her journey from psychology and recruiting into becoming a leading voice in workplace neurodiversity, including the powerful story of how a simple hiring shift transformed a high-turnover mortgage auditing team into a thriving, engaged workforce. Together, Taylor and Racheal unpack common misconceptions about ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent experiences, while offering practical guidance for HR leaders, managers, and teams on building inclusive systems through universal design. From reducing cognitive load to rethinking accommodations and leadership practices, this conversation is packed with actionable insights for creating healthier workplace ecosystems where every employee can thrive.
