THE EMOTIONAL LABOUR STORE

Some people pay more to turn up at work

Browse our Emotional Labour Store - a satirical collection of products designed to demonstrate the price that some employees pay just to turn up at work.

Learn more about this concept

For some people, just showing up at work requires extra effort. Outside of their job descriptions, they are also navigating:

  • Code-switching to fit in with company culture or sound ‘professional’.
  • Bias in decision-making, which can affect pay, promotions and career development.
  • Burnout from navigating exclusionary or toxic workplace cultures.


This emotional labour is costing underrepresented employees their wellbeing and energy on a daily basis.

Our (satirical) store illustrates the price of working in non-inclusive settings, offering products that no one should need to buy. Yet, only 50% of employees feel a sense of belonging at work (Ciphr).

What are the hidden costs of being an employee in your workplace?

At FAIRER Consulting, our mission is to create a fairer world of work for everyone. We help organisations achieve equitable outcomes through training, consultancy and leadership programmes.

Let’s put the Emotional Labour Store out of business.

Browse what's on the shelves and then explore our real inclusion solutions.

Promotion Raffle Tickets

Are you feeling lucky? Because career advancement can feel like a lottery, depending on your background. For some, skills-based hiring doesn't exist; it's often about who you know, not what you know. No promotion? Try again next year.

Odds: Low for some, almost guaranteed for others.
