About this listen
In episode 108, we chat with Justin Weinhardt to explore his recent research on ADHD in the workplace. Drawing from a multi-day study of employees with ADHD, they unpack how daily symptom fluctuations impact engagement—and how job crafting can serve as a powerful, science-backed strategy for managing attention and motivation at work.
Key insights include:
* Why ADHD symptoms vary day-to-day and how that affects work performance
* The surprising effectiveness of adding fun and variety to tasks
* Why reducing workload isn’t always the best solution
* How organizations can foster environments that support mental health disclosure
* What all employees can learn from ADHD coping strategies
Whether you’re a manager, researcher, or someone navigating ADHD at work, this episode offers practical tools and a fresh perspective on neurodiversity and workplace well-being.
