Abstract: The intent of this research is to unfold managers’ experiences in handling neurodiverse employees. Managers who help their employees succeed in the organization have tremendous accomplishments, but among all the tasks that manager must perform, managing people is by far the most challenging as each employee is different, unforeseen, and driven by the own set of forces. Proponents used a qualitative research method specifically narrative inquiry and conducted an in-depth interview with semi-structured questions. The following themes revealed in this study are (1) manager’s knowledge and involvement in neurodivergent employees at work, (2) acknowledging the challenges faced by the managers in handling neurodiverse employees, (3) strategies of managers in dealing with neurodivergent employees, and (4) the influence of manager’s positive approach in the welfare of neurodiverse employees. Therefore, it is concluded that managers have little to no challenges in handling neurodiverse employees. Moreover, these types of employees are above average people in terms of performance but lack emotional control that leads to anger and frustration. In the perspective of the following participants, there is no perfect strategy in handling neurodiverse employees. Managers must be diversified and versatile in handling these types of employees and use strategies that fit in with their needs. This study was assessed and completed that allows managers, especially the human resource management, to get an informative approach in neurodiverse employees.
