Exploring Emotional Labour

IP Inclusive is an initiative devoted to promoting equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing throughout the UK's IP professions. Our activities cover four areas: awareness-raising upstream of the professions; best practice charter and accreditation schemes; diversity training; and support.We aim to provide cost-effective and accessible training, discussion and networking events for IP professionals in diversity-related issues. We also encourage our member organisations and Charter signatories to incorporate diversity into their own CPD and training programmes, particularly those focused on commercial and personal skills training, to ensure that diversity stays on the agenda for the decision-makers within our professions.

This webinar will help you explore the concept of emotional labour, and its personal and professional implications.

<p>This webinar will help you explore the concept of emotional labour, and its personal and professional implications.</p><p>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.</p><p>Nicola 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, drawing on insights from Arlie Russell Hochschild and contemporary thinkers like Liz Yeoman and Rose Hackman.</p><p><br></p><h4>Who's it for?</h4><p>This event is for all UK-based IP professionals who are interested in mental wellbeing. We don’t mind where you work, what role you play there or what career level you’re at. This is an important topic, which touches many and matters to all of us.</p><p><br></p><h4>Bring a guest!</h4><p>At IP Inclusive we want to reach as many IP people as possible. Why not invite a guest to watch the webinar with you - someone in a different role or at a different career level, perhaps; an ally or potential ally; or a colleague who's not yet involved with IP Inclusive? They'll be most welcome!</p><p><br></p><h4>Registration</h4><p>If you have any access requirements, please do get in touch with us at <a href="mailto:events@ipinclusive.org.uk" title="mailto:events@ipinclusive.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">events@ipinclusive.org.uk</a></p><p><br></p><h4>Cost</h4><p>This event is free.
