The new room provides a space for associates to check in and acknowledge their mental health and well-being throughout the workday. This effort represents the company\u2019s commitment to fostering a sense of belonging, where every voice is heard and associates feel safe, included, and inspired. And this significant moment, sponsored by the Neurodiversity at Block Belonging group, occurred during Autism Awareness Month.<\/p>\n<p>Sensory rooms are safe, quiet places that can help adults reduce stress and overstimulation and improve creativity and focus. The carefully curated sensory room at H&amp;R Block includes a calming sound machine, a tranquil environment, bean bags, sensory fidgets, and dim lighting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough sensory rooms are not a new concept, they aren\u2019t common for adults, especially in workplaces,\u201d said Tiffany Monroe, Chief People and Culture Officer at H&amp;R Block. \u201cOur associates are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, and a big part of that means creating a sense of belonging and proactively making meaningful changes to truly be a great place to work. We are excited about the new sensory room and really hope our associates enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The term neurodiversity refers to variations in the brain regarding learning, sociability, attention, mood, and other brain functions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=73Oy4Cqp6jmzeCFBGrPmhBdD6efdnb9wFzAFeHZ4hTub4FSSyi98ZwUikyOB3mJFDQveBu4cldgkeRbO7eGQi_jAEgKQbQtfQOwGn9J0ghhO0pMLRpwPHQZPnTESIoJWp8YLisoPbzt8JC0ttw0ajzs909V7CGphZYmIcDKAQI4IMlvDmgL4hjOKYuySFgu0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">With an estimated 15% to 20% of the population being neurodivergent<\/a>, according to National Library of Medicine, H&amp;R Block is proud to help reduce stigmas and create a work environment where associates feel safe. And the need is further underscored by research that shows unemployment for neurodivergent adults running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=nvnJeFY647fxqrazPeB4A4f0737x346N2BB9N-EkYXo7Y_RxB1TKCUzECPuTJMnd0n08EKAEm5oYpqlefuaWZMPnq5rdnEPWtq5ks66PSdZjBGmv-ksndgSlX_FlkTv-\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">as high as 30-40%<\/a>, three times the rate for people with disability, and eight times the rate for people without disability, according to the Center for Neurodiversity and Employment Innovation at the University of Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>H&amp;R Block\u2019s sensory room idea originated from three associates with neurodivergent children who also founded the Neurodiversity at Block Belonging group. This Belonging group stewards sharing, learning, and growth for associates affected by neurodiversity. Their goal is to celebrate and support neurodiversity in all forms and journeys \u2013 including neurodivergent associates and people leaders, as well as associates supporting neurodivergent loved ones, and more. While the room was created by the neurodiversity Belonging group, it will serve all Block associates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of my son, I have a passion for neurodiversity and supporting our associates who are touched by it,\u201d said Lindsey Lanzisero, Vice President of Total Rewards, H&amp;R Systems &amp; Operations at H&amp;R Block, and Executive Sponsor &amp; Co-Founder of the Neurodiversity at Block Belonging group. \u201cWe want this group to help associates succeed, and help managers lead neurodivergent associates with empathy, while providing a community for neurodiverse associates and caregivers. This room, and the awareness we\u2019re bringing to the matter, will positively impact our culture and associates, and that\u2019s exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a recent Forbes \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=UO850kW3uObghumPZR8lA8yrkrQ250Dc0JhGA2olHM77iXB_b5MitactiMI73jxEhJu8ehFoXR15Grd8PW0DLRCImg4FDzOJVr2hxuDTbF4c82_pMsl_NuYZHNVonfwSCD_MDaEx9ADO2yJrDLIWGeGMQdCHIsdh-CY16T6ORJOcYm72aOgU-ZO075uLqVnpmognu_jvfEwvTzog17V7nR3Yw6ro-G-bcsGunuw1VmQ=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">America\u2019s Best Large Employers<\/a>\u201d honoree, H&amp;R Block launched Belonging@Block in 2020 to build a culture in which every associate has a voice and sense of belonging.
