How to prepare a difficult conversation with an employee
Write down the facts and the situation. AutiHD turns them into a plan for the talk: how to open, what to ask, what to agree. Nothing is saved unless you save it.
Manager Guide to Supporting Employees Through Stress, Burnout and Invisible BarriersKnow what to do when someone on your team is struggling.
You want to help, but you are not a doctor or a therapist. AutiHD gives you clear steps for hard situations, helps you prepare the conversation and shows exactly which adjustments your team needs. You also see the invisible barriers that come up most in your company, with tips for your team. That is inclusive management in everyday practice.
Step-by-step guides for difficult team situations
Pick what is happening, or describe it in one sentence:
- Someone on my team has gone quiet
- Someone keeps missing deadlines
- Someone told me about a diagnosis
- An agreed adjustment is not working
- Someone is coming back after burnout
- Someone is a safety concern
You get a step-by-step guide, including what not to do.
Private notes for managers
Your notes are only yours. Neither HR nor the employee can see them.
Your team’s workplace adjustments, without diagnoses
Your team page shows each person’s approved adjustments. You never see a diagnosis or the reason behind a request.
When a new employee joins with an adjustment passport, you accept it in one click. HR automatically gets the list of things to order, such as headphones, before day one.
Onboarding checklist for new employees with adjustments
For everyone joining in the next 45 days, you get a first-month checklist. The same steps help with a return to work after burnout or long sick leave.
Messaging between managers and HR
Message HR directly inside AutiHD, for example to order equipment for a new hire.

FAQ: supporting struggling employees as a manager
What information do I get about my team?
What you need to support your team, such as agreed adjustments and next steps. Personal and health information stays private.
Do I need special training to use it?
No. Every guide is written in plain language and takes a few minutes to read.
Can I book a psychotherapist for an employee?
No. Employees book specialists themselves, privately. You can request coaching for yourself or a workshop for your team.
What if I don’t know what to do?
Start with the situation that fits best. If you need more, message HR or request coaching.
Give your managers the steps, not another policy.
We’ll walk you through what a manager sees: the guides for hard conversations, private notes and the team page.
