"People who experience workplace abuse, trauma, and incivility don't lack strength, capability, or motivation. They lack energy, because chronic stress is exhausting."

- Dr. Nicole DeKay

Measuring workplace abuse is the first step to stopping it. Nicole DeKay is an industrial organizational psychologist that specializes in measuring harm at work. Dr. DeKay's Adverse Work Experiences framework brings Adverse Childhood Experiences into the workplace. Recognizing that what happened to us as children, impacts us as adults at work too, she started her doctorate in 2018, leaving a career in aerospace marketing and sales after successfully launching the largest new business development program at one of the largest companies in the world.
