“They weren’t just doing their job; they were doing a bit extra. They were smiling, they were positive. I noticed the difference. That little extra they’re providing.That difference can be described as emotional labour “

Diversity & Inclusion work involves Emotional Labour

“There’s a lot of emotional labour required in this work, training people, consulting with people leaders. Or the research part….I know this because I am one of these people”
