Beyond the 9-to-5: Rethinking Productivity for Neurodivergent Teams

Speaker: Allie Warren

Description

Rigid schedules. Constant meetings. Hustle culture. For many neurodivergent employees, traditional productivity models aren’t just unhelpful—they’re unsustainable.

Beyond the 9-to-5 challenges the outdated idea that productivity equals time spent at a desk. Instead, we explore what it means to work with neurodivergent brains, not against them—leveraging deep focus, creativity, and energy-aware planning to drive real results.

In this session, we cover:

• Why common productivity myths can harm neurodivergent wellbeing

• How energy-based working can support focus, flexibility, and sustainability

• Smarter, more inclusive ways to measure success beyond hours worked

  
  

Led by a speaker with lived experience and practical insight, this session helps teams and leaders build workplaces where output matters more than clock-watching—and everyone’s strengths can shine.
