Enya Doyle's Biography

Dr Enya Doyle (The Harassment Doctor™) is a leading consultant, speaker, and people risk specialist. A powerful and provocative voice on employee relations, cancel culture, and leadership accountability, she helps organisations identify, understand, and manage the human risks that sit at the heart of every workplace before they become claims, crises, or headlines. She holds a PhD from Durham University and brings both academic rigour and hard-won practitioner experience to every room she enters.

For over a decade, Dr Doyle has equipped Senior Leadership Teams to navigate the full spectrum of employee relations challenges – from harassment, grievance, and disciplinary processes to whistleblowing, and the cultural conditions that allow risk to escalate unnoticed. She has worked as a critical friend to global organisations across finance, education, hospitality, the public sector, local government, and the creative industries, helping them move from reactive fire-fighting to proactive, risk-informed people strategy.

A trusted voice on dignity at work, leadership accountability, and organisational risk, her insights have been published in two books and featured in top 1% podcasts and press including Forbes and Diginomica.
