Dignity and Respect at Work Intervention Group (DRAWING)

• Dr Coyne co-founded the collaborative network of 27 public and private sector organisations, DRAWING, which aimed to develop evidence-based interventions to tackle workplace bullying.

International NGO - enhancing dignity and respect

• Since 2018, Dr Coyne has worked with a global NGO on improving policy and practices on dignity and respect at work.
• The organisation has revised its international board procedures, developed a conflict and dispute resolution policy, and improved senior staff induction around conflict and dispute resolution in several countries.
• The organisation has also devised an intervention to enhance dignity and respect – outlined in its strategic change plan.

Wider impacts

• Following work with Dr Coyne, SOHAS has developed a Dignity and Respect Policy Statement that is shared with all new colleagues and has a reported positive impact on the organisation’s working culture.
• UCU has been a member of DRAWING since 2017 – this involvement supports its 100,000 members to address problems and grievance procedures in a more holistic way.
• DRAWING training has helped the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Kings Lynn NHS Trust to improve awareness and understand how to deal with bullying at work.
