Charlotte Rayner is Professor Emeritus at the Portsmouth Business School, UK. Charlotte came from a small business background to teach strategy and organizational behaviour, becoming interested in workplace bullying in the mid-1990s. She remains focused on helping organizations deal with bullying and, through the BBC, unions and employers, has researched and raised the profile of the issue. Charlotte was a founding member of the International Association on Workplace Bullying and Harassment (IAWBH) and its first President. In 2005, Charlotte won a large grant to research successful anti-bullying interventions in British workplaces.
