Why Neurodiverse Loyalty is a Game-Changer for CEOs: A Lucrative Investment.

Together, we’ve built a partnership that demonstrates the immense value of neurodiverse talent in driving business success. Supreme Foods operates 74 franchise restaurants, including Burger King and Popeyes, while Wilbanks Media specializes in creating visuals and videos that reach massive audiences.

Our collaboration is more than just business—it’s a case study in how the loyalty, creativity, and execution of a neurodiverse team can lead to extraordinary results.

The Value of Neurodiverse Loyalty for CEOs

In business, loyalty isn’t just a virtue—it’s a measurable advantage. For CEOs like Kevin Newell, loyalty from employees or business partners isn’t just reassuring; it’s transformative. And when that loyalty comes from a neurodiverse individual or team, it’s absolute. Here’s why:

1. Unwavering Commitment:

Neurodiverse individuals are wired for loyalty. Once trust is established, we don’t waver. We don’t waste energy on office politics or personal agendas—we focus on shared goals and success.

2. Problem-Solving and Pattern Recognition:

Neurodiverse minds excel at recognizing patterns and finding solutions others overlook. Temple Grandin’s research highlights how neurodiverse thinkers notice what others miss, whether it’s inefficiencies in processes, creative opportunities, or risk factors. A loyal neurodiverse team consistently drives innovation, reduces costly errors, and strengthens operational efficiency.

3. Longevity and Stability:

Neurodiverse employees thrive in environments that value structure and fairness. When these needs are met, they stay. Employee turnover costs companies an average of $15,000 per lost employee, according to Gallup. A loyal, long-term neurodiverse team provides continuity that’s invaluable for projects and company culture.

4. Reduced Risk and Opportunity Costs:

Loyal neurodiverse employees eliminate risks like betrayal, theft, or hidden agendas. For CEOs hesitant to expand due to workforce instability, having neurodiverse allies provides the stability to move forward confidently, reducing opportunity costs and execution gaps.

Loyalty directly affects the bottom line. Here’s how we break it down:

L = (LE x QW) – (OC + T)

Where:

• L = Loyalty’s financial impact.

• LE = Longevity of employment (measured in years retained, turnover savings, and stability).

• QW = Quality of work (measured in productivity, error reduction, and innovation).

• OC = Opportunity costs (abandoned projects or delayed decisions).

• T = Turnover costs (hiring, training, and onboarding expenses).

For a company like Supreme Foods, reducing opportunity costs by even 10% while retaining key employees can translate into millions of dollars saved annually. Neurodiverse loyalty positively impacts every aspect of this formula, making it one of the most valuable investments a business can make.
