Frisky Business Palm Springs Cat Café awarded Certified Neurodiverse Workplace™ by IBCCES, recognizing its commitment to better support neurodivergent employees
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Frisky Business Palm Springs Cat Café has been awarded the Certified Neurodiverse Workplace™ (CNW) designation, which is offered by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). The program requires staff complete training and certification to more effectively hire and support neurodivergent employees, including autistic individuals and those with ADHD and dyslexia. The café will also complete a review process conducted by IBCCES to ensure standard practices are enhanced for inclusion in the workplace.
“Embracing neurodiversity isn’t just about creating a more inclusive workplace; it’s about recognizing and celebrating the unique strengths and perspectives that each individual brings to the table,” says Claire Rogers, owner of Frisky Business Palm Springs Cat Café. “Our certification as a neurodiverse workplace marks a significant milestone in our journey towards fostering a culture of acceptance, understanding, and empowerment for all.”
Neurodivergent professionals can contribute unique perspectives that significantly boost innovation, efficiency, and overall organizational success. Implementing inclusive practices like staff training, accommodations, and updated policies allows organizations to nurture their existing staff while attracting top talent, staying ahead in today’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
Frisky Business Palm Springs Cat Café seeks to support its community by sourcing from local suppliers. One initiative Frisky Business has implemented is its “Pay It Forward Wall,” encouraging patrons to pre-purchase items for those less fortunate. With this initiative, the café not only hopes to enrich the community, but also further its dedication to kindness and generosity. Frisky Business has received recognition from the State of California Department of Rehabilitation as an EmployABILITY CHAMPION and has been awarded two Certificates of Congressional Recognition, as well as the California Legislative Assembly, for their significant contributions toward the empowerment and employment of individuals with disabilities.
“We‘re proud to partner with Frisky Business Palm Springs Cat Café as they work to foster inclusive job opportunities for the community and an environment that is supportive of all team members,” says Myron Pincomb, board chairman of IBCCES.
For more than 20 years, IBCCES has been the industry leader in cognitive disorder training and certification for education, healthcare, and corporate professionals around the globe. IBCCES provides evidence-based training and certification programs created in conjunction with clinical experts and autistic individuals in order to provide professionals with a better understanding of how to communicate and interact with individuals with cognitive differences or sensory needs, industry best practices, and the latest research in these areas.
IBCCES also created CertifiedAutismCenter.com, a free online resource for parents that lists certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met Certified Neurodiverse Workplace (CNW) or Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.
