Synopsis:
The Other Job highlights that Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people do two jobs in most workplaces; there is the job they are paid to do, the one that appears on their job description and role profile. And then there is “The Other Job”, that of being the professional minority ethnic person.

This is the job that sits alongside the paid job; the duties at which they absolutely have to excel if they are even going to get a chance to do their paid job at all, let alone be twice as good it at as members non racialised groups, which most of us know is also essential to success.

In The Other Job we will explore this extra unpaid work, why it is expected, how members of racialised groups can manage that expectation and the role of our colleagues and managers in making sure these extra duties aren’t undertaken at the expense of our paid work. This book will cover:
  • The concept of "The Other Job"
  • Why employers’ managers and colleagues have created the role
  • How leaders should acknowledge and reward “The Other Job”
  • The benefits of success at “The Other Job”

The Other Job is essential reading for anyone dealing with race issues at work. If you are a member of any minority ethnic community, this book can serve as a survival manual. If you work in a diverse team this book will give you insight into the issues facing your minority ethnic colleagues at work and become a better ally.
