From Target to Advocate: Nicki Eyre's Transformative Fight against Workplace Bullying

Nicki Eyre FRSA 's journey from being a target of workplace bullying to becoming a leading advocate against it is both inspiring and poignant. Her experience began in a seemingly stable and successful career, where she was blindsided by her boss’s relentless and aggressive behaviour. Initially, Nicki was caught in a cycle of self-doubt and confusion. The psychological toll was immense, affecting not just her confidence but also her mental and physical health. She found herself grappling with a toxic work environment that eroded her sense of self-worth, pushing her into a state of isolation and helplessness.

But Nicki refused to let this experience define her. As she began to process what had happened, she realized that her experience was not unique - thousands of people across the UK suffer from workplace bullying, yet many remain silent due to fear, stigma, or a lack of understanding. This realization sparked a deep desire in Nicki to make a difference. She understood that the existing workplace policies were insufficient, and the absence of legal recognition for workplace bullying was a glaring gap that needed to be filled.

Through Conduct Change, she offers consultancy, training and resources to organisations, helping them to navigate the complexities of workplace dynamics and foster environments where respect and kindness are paramount.

Her advocacy is not just about addressing the symptoms of workplace bullying but about creating systemic change that protects employees at all levels.
