Description
Every organization operates on invisible power-unrecognized, unpaid, and often unacknowledged work that sustains teams, fuels culture, and keeps the engine of progress turning. Yet, this work-disproportionately carried out by women-remains invisible, undervalued, overlooked, and unmeasured.
In Invisible Engines: The Unseen Labor of Women in the Workplace, global HR executive and researcher Bruce Decaster reveals the hidden economy of effort that drives modern organizations. Through decades of leadership experience, cross-cultural insights, and powerful stories, he illustrates how this unseen work shapes performance, equity, and innovation across industries and continents.
Inside, you will discover:The Four Engines of Unseen Labor: Office Housework, Emotional Labor, DEI & Identity Work, and Glue WorkThe hidden dynamics that sustain invisible work and how they erode productivity, morale, and fairnessThe role of "positive deviants" and courageous allies in rewriting the rules of inclusionThe surprising links between schools, teachers, and global workforcesField-tested frameworks and reflection tools to help leaders identify, quantify, and reward unseen contributions
This book is a blueprint for transforming how organizations value work. It challenges leaders to look beyond metrics, listen differently, and lead with clarity and compassion.Behind every great company are countless hidden engines; it's time to make them visible.
