Introduction

Rachel Cook is the founder of Lead Above Noise, a firm specializing in helping teams and organizations create employee experiences that keep talent engaged. She says it's hard to show recognition for something we can't see. In 2018, journalist Gemma Hartley wrote a book called Fed Up, Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward. It opened up a conversation specifically about how society and often individual households run smoothly only when women are picking up slack.
