Do you believe equity has finally come to the workplace, that women are now being treated equally with men? On this podcast, Dr. Regina Lark, author of the new book, Emotional Labor: Why a Woman’s Work Is Never Done and What to Do About It, traces developments over the years that were intended to close the gap, but explains why inequality still exists and what can be done about it. In 2008, before founding her 7-figure company, Dr. Lark excelled in a career in higher education. When budget cuts eliminated her position at UCLA at age 50, Regina started over and created A Clear Path from scratch. Today, Lark and her ninja organizers provide professional physical, emotional, and psychological support to people who wish to clear clutter and chaos from their lives. Dr. Lark holds a Ph. D. in Women’s History from the University of Southern California. Her work in that field informs her third and most recent book, Emotional Labor: Why a Woman’s Work Is Never Done and What to Do About It. The author of Psychic Debris, Crowded Closets: The Relationship Between the Stuff in Your Head, and What’s Under Your Bed, Dr. Lark helps women rid their lives of emotional labor by offering concrete ways to identify and mitigate the costs of women’s unseen, unnoticed and unwaged work at home, and to unleash women into the full potential in the paid workplace. She delivers keynote addresses, retreats and corporate speaking engagements on women’s leadership, emotional labor, time management, productivity, hoarding and ADHD. With the podcast hosted by legal thriller author Mark Bello and Lean to the Left podcast's Bob Gatty, here are some questions that we covered in the show: Mark: Quite the resume. Bob and I are proud to have you on our show. This is 2023 and this is a show about justice and injustice. Historically, women have not been treated equally in the workplace. However, here we are, almost a quarter into the 21st Century. Women have finally achieved equality in the workplace, right? Bob: You’ve often used the term “household management.” What is it and why is it considered “women’s work?” And, if you can, please give our audience some historical context. Mark: You also use the term “emotional labor,” especially in your Ted Talk. Please define the term in the context of the inherent inequities women still face in the workplace. Bob: How is emotional labor performed at home? What does it look like? Mark: The saying goes “a woman’s work is never done.” Is that still true? And, if so, what can society do about it? Bob: What are some reasons for the unequal distribution of work in the home? Are men inherently better at certain things and women better at others? Mark: If you could wave a magic wand, how would you create equity in your own household and in society’s unequal, unjust workplace? Bob: If couples and their children thought of their home as a business, would the structure and delegation of the work inside the home change? If so, how? Mark: A person out there is what society still calls a “stay at home Mom.” She’s frustrated by the burdens of Emotional Labor. What can she do to stop the never-ending cycle? Bob: Why is delegating and outsourcing so integral to lifting the burden of emotional labor? Mark: How do we become better delegators? Mark: I believe that men have had since the beginning of time their chance to rule the world and they’ve screwed it up. It is high time for woman to ascend to the throne—I believe that will do a far better job. Is that possible sometime soon? Is there any hope for true equality or a world led by women?

When it comes to D&1 or Diversity and Inclusion, equity is one of the main concepts that is always left out. Here, equity is the state where people have a level playing field despite their country of origin, physical ability or disability, ethnic background, and gender. Diversity, equity, and inclusion work together, and a company’s workforce will become empowered to bring in their best work. There have been numerous investigations on the direct correlation between company success and diversity. Through the equity in workplace, people will receive dignified and respectful treatment. There are many ways to promote equity in a workplace, such as encouraging cognitive diversity, targeted up skilling for a comprehensive workforce, attracting top talents, etc. You can gain more insights on “equity in the workforce” through this blog post.

Additionally, we red flag those companies practicing racial discrimination in the workplace and enable the information for the masses. So if you are looking for a company to join as an employee, you can leverage us to make informed decisions.
