Emotional Inclusion: A Humanizing Revolution at Work
Emotional inclusion—putting Emotional Intelligence into Action for sustainable change in the workforce When Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu founded Emotional Inclusion® in the workforce three years ago, she was on a mission to rid emotional unwellness shame and stigma in companies. She realized that companies with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion platforms spoke of all kinds of inclusion but neglected to tackle emotional inclusion or the act of caring for the emotional realms of individuals in a measurable and sustainable manner. The robotic, productivity-driven, and bustling work culture cultivated over the years morphed what it meant to be ‘human’ and ‘emotionally inclusive’ at work. The pandemic has turned the corporate landscape upside down and shed more light on the significance of emotional wellbeing. It has become more apparent now than ever that there is a need for new, evidence-backed, confidential, and medical-based workplace solutions that are more compassionate and considerate of employee wellbeing and welfare. Part treatise and part deliberation, Emotional Inclusion® takes readers through the core of Mollie’s advocacy. The book, as she writes, seeks to ‘lift the stigma around talking about emotional wellness at work, and make Emotional inclusion the powerful new status quo’ in workplaces present and future. It discusses emotional inclusion’s organizational definition, shares personal stories on the subject, and offers steps that companies and organizations can and should take to create more emotionally inclusive workplaces that have a transformative impact on employees’ emotional wellness and productivity. In doing so, the book looks to champion courage and create an emotional inclusion movement revolution of change—together.

“If we Start being honest about our pain, our anger, and our shortcomings instead of pretending they do not exist, then maybe we’ll leave the world a better place than we found it.” - Russell Wilson

“Embrace your mess. It makes you who you are. It is a part of your story. It has shaped you or is shaping you into the person you are becoming.”
—Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu, Emotional Inclusion: A Humanizing Revolution At Work
A sense of belonging is what most of us strive to encounter and achieve in this hustling world of getting lost and finding oneself again. It is a thing that completes our purpose and tracks us to our boundless goals and dreams in life. But what if everything stops at that step of belonging or a sense of inclusion?
Many, especially at the age of majority, find that landing a job and staying in their job is like finding their purpose in life. But it doesn’t end there. This book entitled, “Emotional Inclusion: A Humanizing Revolution At Work” by Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu talks about and pinpoints the scope that still up until now is stigmatized in work, the inclusion of our emotional well-being to the betterment of what we always want to adhere, a work-life balance.
Getting a chance to have and read this book is like a heaven-sent for it gave me a friend to listen to, and a therapy I have unconsciously badly needed to hear and learn. As much as I yield in confidentiality, a discussion with this book will not be possible without a slice of us for truth be told at some point, we all have past experiences in our jobs that we just want to bury and get over with. I have a fair share of working in corporate jobs and as a beta in the alpha environment, the stigma of being ‘emotional’ is of high risk of being labeled as weak. But how Mollie debunked its term from chunks to pieces made me wish to have read this way before so I could be the person that my past self needed to lean on.
From redefining the conventional terms of the word inclusion, emotional, and mental health, to breaking down the types and ways of adhering to emotional inclusion in the work environment and to sharing life-changing stories that correlate in each step that some may trigger traumas yet making us feel that we are not alone in this silent battle that needs to be spoken loud and clear, Mollie teaches us that this should not only be laid upon on the shoulders of the HR department but on the whole hierarchical pyramid of the working sector. Just as she said,
“In shaping a human-centric workspace, we need an organizational culture where everybody—up and down the hierarchy—is willing to take responsibility for their actions. Workplace culture needs to encourage and empower all members to take risks in owning both the power and the consequences of what they do.”
I want to leave the rest in your own journey with the book and end it with what Mollie’s words cradle me most —”we are not defined by our struggles. You are not your anxiety. You are not your depression.' You are not your stress. You are not your eating disorder. You are not your ADHD. You are not your medical illness. You are not your divorce. You are NOT your fill-in-the-blank. You are an individual having a human experience.”
May this book reach the leaders of the world, the employers, the employees, and especially those who are in the cry for help and need this as something to lean on. May this book be the manual and the driving force in balancing the constantly changing working environment.

Emotional Inclusion (A Humanizing Revolution At Work) by Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
#nonfiction
Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu gives an instructive, factual and enlightening knowledge about Emotional Inclusion. This book defined Emotional Inclusion in an extensive means as well as its importance.
We have been brought up with the unspoken agreement that when at work, we should keep our personal issues away from our job. However, if people are unwell, stressed, or depressed, they will simply be less productive, right?
Emotional Inclusion at the workplace means when we feel valid, heard, important, dignified, and safe. There is emotional inclusion at the workplace when we can be ourselves and show up at work, where we can not only show our highest point but also our lowest point. Work that we can safely share our struggles and problems, and we receive the support we deserve.
This book contains some testimonies from both individuals and leaders who have discussed their knowledge of and difficulties in their emotionally detached workplaces, as well as the lessons they have learnt from them. You can undoubtedly pick up some knowledge just like I do.
Thank you Penguin SEA for giving me a copy of this book, as I am very much able to relate to it and have learned a lot from it as a graduate in BS Psychology and have experience as a human resources officer. Through this, I realized how there’s a lot to improve in the working system here in the Philippines. This also gives me hope that even a small company can make its employees feel emotionally included by being open to listening and helping in their own way.
If you were to ask, why should you read this book? My answer would be that this book will educate you on the importance of being emotionally included at the workplace and that the robotic style of work should be cut off because it has very unhealthy effects on us.
This book conveys information about humanizing the workplace and valuing the need for emotional inclusion in organizations today. We, as humans, are made to feel, and we can be great employees and leaders if we feel emotionally involved at work. At the end of the day, our mental health illness.

💌 Emotional Inclusion: A Humanizing Revolution At Work by Mollie Rogers Jean De Dieu
•
Slowly connecting with the business and logical aspects of the industry is too much to swallow in one go. However, I am delighted to confess that this book is a solution to all the difficulties and hardships one would go through. The book 'Emotional Inclusion' is not just about the statistical approach of an employer-employee relationship pre and post-pandemic. It highlights the core foundation of the industry. How the hierarchy should move forward along with the people.
•
'People are what make our companies,
not the other way around.'
•
Every activity was on hold once the pandemic crashed and shook the world. Heartaches, losses, and emotional illness took a dark turn. It was a tough call and it was a luxury to have a secure job during those dire situations. Companies are well-knitted with the rules and regulations. But for once the turmoil and the mental health could be considered important over everything. That's what the book revolves around tends to confess. To understand real-life occurrences and hardships people have gone through when their mental health was not the priority for the very industries for whom they have worked hard and shed their sweat and blood.
•
'Showing up at work as our full selves on difficult days and
being able to ‘not be okay’ should no longer be viewed as a sign of weakness or unprofessionalism. It is well overdue that we max
up our humanity in all arenas of our life. It is time to crank up
the dial to mega high. In the shadow of the pandemic, we must be brave with our human intimacy. Intimacy, you might you ask?
Yes, as improvisational comedy teacher Martin de Maat said, ‘You know what intimacy is? It’s into-me-you-see’.
And this begs the question: when did we stop being more understanding, more accepting of ourselves and others?'
•
I can keep on portraying my admiration for the book even though it was the first time I read a book in this genre. But trust me it was all worth it. Throughout the read, I was awestruck with the simplicity and originality of the book. What fascinated me the most was Mollie's brutal honesty.

As the title suggests, Emotional Inclusion talks about leaders incorporating a humanistic attitudes towards their employees. The author have detailed that, staggering 50% of millennials and 81% of Gen Z have left their jobs for mental health reasons.
Throughout the text, data such as the aforementioned statistics is generously woven. For instance, it reveals that 60% of employees have never disclosed their mental health struggles to anyone. Moreover, it emphasizes the sobering reality that we spend a significant portion of our lives in the workplace.
The author passionately implores leaders to create an environment where employees can openly express vulnerability and receive support for their mental well-being.
While reading, I noticed a degree of repetition in the book, with numerous anecdotes detailing real-life leadership challenges and subsequent triumphs.
This resource will prove invaluable, particularly for those in leadership roles. I wholeheartedly recommend it to them, suggesting they consider implementing some of the insightful recommendations provided.
In conclusion, if you seek comprehensive insights into mental health within the workplace, along with strategies to foster a more empathetic and functional work environment, "Emotional Inclusion" is an indispensable read.
