ADHD people:

- loose track of things more than the typical person

- get distracted by new things more than the average person

- have significantly higher openness to experience

- tend to forget more things

- are more impulsive

So it's basically having an extra management structure or labor that is willing to put in extra time to mitigate the issue that come up with this, and to harness the benefits of them too.

> an extra management structure

Not necessarily - it could be as simple as a change to the existing structure that benefits everyone to some degree (or at least doesn’t harm others).

If the change of the management structure requires more active hours of management labor, for everyone or for people with ADHD, it's still more total work and labor which costs more money and is limited by hiring constraints.
I agree with you, but only if the additional burden on management is not offset by increased productivity of every employee.

I don’t know to what degree - or if - that would be the case, but I strongly suspect it would be.
