Becoming Dyslexia Friendly


A dyslexia-friendly approach can bring a number of benefits to companies:

  • Help them to realise the particular strengths of their workforce
  • Encourage staff to access training, gain qualifications and apply for promotion
  • Reduce stress, staff turnover and sick leave
  • Improve motivation and loyalty
  • Improve efficiency and provide a better service for customers

What is more, adjustments made for staff with dyslexia are often easily achieved and can benefit the whole organisation.

To become dyslexia-friendly a company can:

  • find out more about dyslexia
  • identify workplace issues
  • use effective communication methods
  • encourage and support employees
  • create a dyslexia-friendly customer interface
  • develop a culture of acceptance

Dyslexia Action can assist companies to develop a policy and code of practice for working with dyslexic staff, trainees and customers. Contact our outreach team or your local Dyslexia Action Centre for more advice.
