Where BASE Consultancy Supports Projects

 

Workplace Environment Review

 

BASE supports organisations create workplaces that reduce sensory overload, improve employee wellbeing and support neurodivergent staff to perform at their best.

 

We help organisations to; 

​

• identify and remove environmental barriers that can impact concentration, comfort and communication for neurodivergent employees, improving productivity and wellbeing across the workplace.

​

• design environments that reduce sensory overload, creating workplaces where neurodivergent individuals can focus, participate and contribute effectively.

​

• improve communication structures so that neurodivergent employees can process information clearly, reducing misunderstandings and improving team collaboration.

​

• develop practical guidance on workplace adjustments that enable autistic and neurodivergent employees to perform confidently and consistently in their roles.​

 

* We work with architects, developers and construction teams to incorporate neurodiversity-informed design principles that create inclusive buildings, accessible workspaces and sensory-considerate environments.

​​

This includes consideration of:

​

• sensory environments including lighting, sound and spatial layout

• environmental factors that affect concentration and cognitive fatigue

• predictable workspace structures and routines

• quiet or low-stimulation spaces for regulation and recovery

• communication environments within meetings and collaborative spaces

 

Practical recommendations are provided to help organisations improve accessibility and inclusion within existing environments.

 

Reasonable Adjustments and Workplace Inclusion

 

BASE provides guidance to organisations seeking to support autistic and neurodivergent employees through thoughtful workplace adjustments and inclusive practice.

​

This may include:

​

• communication clarity and accessible information structures

• meeting practices and processing considerations

• task organisation and workflow predictability

• executive functioning support within workplace systems

• supporting neurodivergent employees to perform at their best

 

These adjustments benefit not only neurodivergent staff but often improve clarity and efficiency across teams.

 

Construction and Design Consultation

​

BASE provides advisory support to architects, developers and construction teams seeking to incorporate neurodiversity-informed design principles into buildings and workplaces.

 

This may include:

​

• sensory-aware design considerations

• workspace layout planning

• accessible navigation and wayfinding

• quiet and low-stimulation spaces

• inclusive community environments

• accessibility considerations for schools, workplaces and public buildings

​

Early-stage consultation can help organisations integrate inclusive design principles before construction or redevelopment begins.

 

Organisational Culture and Communication

 

Creating neurodiversity-friendly environments extends beyond physical space. BASE also supports organisations to review organisational culture and workplace structures.

 

Areas of support may include:

​

• communication styles and information accessibility

• predictable routines and expectations within teams

• psychologically safe environments

• supporting neurodivergent individuals to develop confidence and independence in professional settings

​​​

 

A workplace environment review may identify sensory barriers such as lighting, noise or visual distractions that affect concentration for neurodivergent employees. Through practical adjustments to workspace layout, communication structures and environmental design, organisations can create calmer environments that improve focus, wellbeing and team communication.

​​

​

Organisations working with BASE consultancy often see improvements such as: reduced sensory overload in workplace environments; improved concentration and productivity; clearer communication structures within teams; increased confidence and retention of neurodivergent employees; a more inclusive workplace environments for staff and service users.

​

The result is an environment where neurodivergent individuals can feel safe, confident and able to perform at their best — benefiting not only the individual but the wider organisation.

​

Inclusive environments improve not only accessibility but productivity, wellbeing and staff retention across the entire workforce.
