Behind every global number, there is a local story.

As part of our first-ever Global Social Impact Report, each Specialisterne hub is sharing a glimpse of the work happening on the ground, because global impact is built one community at a time.

In Canada, the focus in 2025 was on scaling impact through shared knowledge and practical action. Our team delivered 60 sessions reaching 6,364 stakeholders across the employment ecosystem bringing together employers, industry leaders, government, and the neurodivergent community.

This work goes beyond awareness. 92% of participants gained actionable strategies to support neurodivergent employees, and 91% left with a clearer understanding of the measurable value of inclusion.

We also launched our ERG Think Tank, creating a space for leaders from 19 companies to exchange insights, challenges, and real-world solutions; strengthening a growing community committed to building more inclusive workplaces.

Download our full 2025 Social Impact Report below to explore how different thinking drives impact at scale.

Our first Global Social Impact Report brings together the data, stories, and evidence behind that work. From training programs and hiring initiatives to coaching, advocacy, and community building, this is the proof of what happens when inclusion is treated as a strategy, not an afterthought.
