Dr Meltem Yavuz Sercekman
Lecturer in Management

Summary

I am a Lecturer in Management at Brunel Business School, specializing in organizational psychology, workplace well-being, and employee health. With over a decade of experience bridging academia and industry, I have collaborated with organizations such as the World Bank, Aviva, GarantiBBVA, Coca-Cola, AccorHotels Group, and Endometriosis UK. As a certified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and menstrual health coach, I am committed to fostering healthier, more inclusive workplaces through research, teaching, and consultancy.

My research combines management and psychological theories to explore their impact on professional life. I design and evaluate mindfulness-based interventions and training programs to enhance employee health, leadership capabilities, and workplace environments. Recently, I have focused on advancing policies and practices that support women managing chronic health conditions, particularly endometriosis, in the workplace. These initiatives aim to raise awareness, foster understanding, and provide practical solutions that benefit both employees and organizations.

My work has been published in high-impact journals, including Gender in Management, Journal of Organizational Change Management, Frontiers in Psychology, Current Psychology, and Business Ethics: A European Review.
