Reasonable Adjustments at Work: Ryan Hoare on Try Mosaic, Neurodiversity, and Inclusive Workplace Systems
This episode of Career Conversations from Inclusive Change at Work, sponsored by Warburtons, features Ryan Hoare, founder of Try Mosaic, a platform that simplifies how employers and employees manage reasonable adjustments. Ryan shares his personal experience of being given a 22-page occupational health report and left to navigate it alone, which inspired him to build a structured, consistent process for agreeing and implementing support at work. The discussion explores why workplaces struggle with adjustments, how “reasonable” depends on role and safety, and why adjustments should be treated as essential success enablers rather than favours. Celina and Tom add reflections on accessibility, universal design, and tensions between different needs. The conversation also covers AI’s role in inclusion, its benefits and risks in creative fields, and advice for young people requesting adjustments in their first job.
