03/08/23 • 51 min

Join us for the first episode of Workplace Weekly, a podcast analysing workplaces, work culture and labour activism through topical stories, interviews and expertise. To kick us off, Kate Bailey and Fanny Wandel focus on International Women’s Day and explore its history and connection to the workplace movement, discuss a few corporate International Women's Day fails (New Zealand All Blacks Rugby Team, Burger King, The Met Police, Sally Ride & NASA, KFC, McDonalds & MTV) and tackle a workplace conundrum in the first Workplace Savage segment. Discussions include the Netflix Pamela Anderson documentary and the different treatment Tommy Lee receives (reclaiming image vs. image rehabilitation) deepfakes, getting fired after you’ve quite and sending an emotional labour invoice to a grown man.

Workplace Weekly E2: The Cost Of Workplace Bullying & The #StopHurtAtWork Campaign with Nicki Eyre FRSA

Join Fanny & Kate for the latest instalment of your favourite work focused podcast Workplace Weekly: a podcast analysing workplaces, work culture and labour activism through topical stories, interviews and expertise.

This episode features Nicki Eyre FRSA. Nicki is the Founder and Managing Director of Conduct Change, a consultancy that aims to prevent and resolve workplace bullying. She has a varied career spanning the public, private, and charity sectors, and is a coach, consultant, and trainer with a specialism in workplace bullying. She also leads the Stop Hurt at Work campaign focused on advocacy and awareness-raising about workplace bullying. Nicki has spoken at events both in the UK and nationally and is a Member of the International Association on Workplace Bullying & Harassment and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

In our interview with Nicki, we discuss her work with Conduct Change and the Stop Hurt at Work Project. The interview covers topics such as Eyre's approach to organisational consulting, observations of workplace culture and challenges, and the insufficiencies of current laws regarding workplace bullying. Eyre also discusses the cornerstones in her work and how people can support the Stop Hurt at Work campaign.

At the top of the show, your Wokest Warriors talk about NOMA’s decision to close this year, and reflect on the decade of workplace bullying incidences that led to the announcement in 2023. We take a spicy turn when Fanny reveals she was blocked by NOMA on Instagram, a move that does little to disprove NOMAs favour for a blacklist.
