Toronto, Canada, November 9, 2022 — Experiences of emotional tax (being on guard to protect against bias due to race, ethnicity, and gender and the associated effects on well-being and ability to thrive at work) are pervasive in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. New global research conducted by Catalyst shows that 61% of employees from marginalized racial and ethnic groups in these countries are on guard against bias and discrimination on their teams.
The report, Emotional Tax on Work Teams: A View From Five Countries, is the first global sample on emotional tax and the first time Catalyst has presented findings on emotional tax for transgender and nonbinary employees.
“The emotional tax people from marginalized racial and ethnic groups experience in the workplace is persistent, pervasive, and global, said Lorraine Hariton, Catalyst President & CEO. “Companies must take intentional action to create safe, empowering, and inclusive work environments where this burden is lifted and all employees can thrive.”
