Amid the global talent competition, neurodiversity remains an underutilized source of innovation in Indonesia. Neurodivergent individuals including those with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia are often constrained by conventional and non-inclusive human resource (HR) practices. This qualitative research, based on a literature study, aims to bridge this gap by analyzing academic literature, industry reports, and international case studies. Through a comparative approach, the study identifies specific challenges within Indonesia’s work culture, such as homogeneous communication norms, recruitment bias, and the lack of adaptive workplace policies. In addition, it maps global best practices in neurodivergent workforce integration. The main outcome of this research is the Neurodivergent Talent Integration Framework (NTIF) an adaptive three-phase model: Preparation, Integration, and Development. Each phase includes strategic steps ranging from raising organizational awareness, adapting recruitment and onboarding processes, to implementing continuous training programs for team leaders and employees. This framework provides practical guidance for HR professionals to systematically accommodate and empower neurodivergent talent. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of the first framework specifically tailored to the Indonesian work culture, contextualizing universal inclusion theories within a non-Western setting and offering actionable solutions to enhance diversity, collaboration, and organizational productivity.
