Invisible Work & “Office Housework”: The Non-Promotable Task Trap
In this episode, Dr. Grajdek explores invisible work and “office housework” in terms of their necessity, contribution, and burden. From taking notes to emotional glue work, non-promotable tasks keep organizations running but rarely count toward advancement, thus disproportionately burdening reliable high performers. Dr. Grajdek explains how to inventory and rotate this work, add it to performance criteria, and give public credit. She also teaches boundary language and manager best practices to rebalance invisible workload so that essential service is valued without quietly capping careers. Tune in to learn more.
