Exploring Emotional Labour

A Jonathan’s Voice and IP Inclusive Webinar

Tuesday 25 March 2025

12.30 – 1.30 pm, online

This webinar will help you explore the concept of emotional labour and its personal and professional implications. In today’s workplace, emotional labour—the effort of managing emotions and creating a positive environment—often goes unnoticed yet significantly impacts our well-being and productivity. Once viewed primarily as a gendered issue, emotional labour is often an unacknowledged aspect of many professions and may include maintaining a façade, shouldering others’ burdens, improvising, or managing complex emotional or traumatic situations. Join us for an insightful webinar where we will seek to enhance your awareness of emotional labour and offer strategies to acknowledge and address its hidden challenges.

Our speaker Nicola Neath will consider the implications of maintaining a positive demeanour to serve, comfort or placate others, even when it may not align with your own emotional state.

Nicola is BACP Integrative Psychotherapist and trainer, and workplace counselling specialist working in HE and in private practice. She is co-chair for the Council for Work and Health Mental Health Group. To read more about Nicola go to Exploring Emotional Labour
