Résumé/Présentation

Cette étude a exploré les aspects positifs et les défis liés à l'emploi et au maintien en poste des personnes autistes au sein de 12 organisations néerlandaises, en se concentrant principalement sur les perspectives des employeurs. Seize participants provenant de 12 organisations néerlandaises ont été interrogés. Quatre chercheurs ont participé à une analyse thématique qui a révélé cinq thèmes et 13 sous-thèmes. L'étude a identifié cinq thèmes principaux autour desquels gravitent les aspects positifs et les défis : (1) les principales motivations des employeurs pour embaucher des personnes autistes, (2) la prise en compte des besoins de tous les employés, y compris ceux qui sont autistes, (3) les perceptions des employeurs concernant les employés autistes, (4) l'adoption d'une mentalité orientée vers l'apprentissage par les employeurs, et (5) l'alignement des pratiques de développement des ressources humaines sur les politiques de diversité et d'inclusion.

Nos résultats suggèrent que les caractéristiques organisationnelles bénéfiques pour l'emploi et le maintien en poste des personnes autistes incluent la valorisation des compétences des employés autistes, la promotion d'une compréhension de l'autisme dépourvue de stéréotypes et de stigmatisation, et la prise en compte des besoins de tous les employés en se basant sur les expériences personnelles des employeurs avec leurs employés. À l'inverse, les organisations qui embauchent principalement pour satisfaire des quotas de diversité ou pour atteindre les objectifs fixés dans les politiques de diversité et d'inclusion, sans promouvoir des conditions de travail déstigmatisantes, risquent d'affecter négativement l'emploi et le maintien en poste des personnes autistes.
