Jonathan’s Voice and IP Inclusive held a joint webinar on this fascinating topic. It can be viewed here
Our speaker, Nicola Neath, explored 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. Attendees joined us for an insightful webinar which sought to enhance your awareness of emotional labour and offered strategies to acknowledge and address its hidden challenges.
