Editorial reading guide · Collaboration

How can a team design flexibility around different ways of working?

This reading brings autistic employees' remote-work support needs and coworker perspectives into the collaboration pathway. The qualitative interview study including workers and coworkers offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.

Study context

13 Polish business professionals: four female autistic employees and nine coworkers or supervisors

Age / stage: Working adults; not a parenting study

Read with three questions

  1. How did the researchers define and assess reported sensory, communication and social-contact needs?
  2. What does the study design allow us to conclude about differences between employee accounts and coworker interpretations?
  3. What would need to be checked before adopting co-designing individualized remote-work support with employees?

Keep the limits in view

The small sample includes only four autistic women and cannot represent the spectrum; support should be individualized rather than inferred from a diagnosis.
