Nicole's Story
Nicole’s Story
Where we work shapes who we are. It influences our sense of identity, our confidence, and how valued we feel. Throughout her career, Nicole Hayman has experienced both exceptional, "Camelot-like" workplace cultures and the damaging effects of a toxic one. These experiences became the driving force behind her passion: to help organizations create healthy, engaging, and high-performing workplaces where people can thrive.
Nicole’s career took flight—quite literally—when she joined British Airways, an award-winning global airline. As an Executive Trainer for North America, she designed, facilitated, and managed leadership and frontline training programs across New York, Jacksonville, and Toronto, supporting over 1,000 employees. Traveling the world and working in a dynamic, diverse environment shaped her deep understanding of what makes a workplace culture truly extraordinary.
In 2006, Nicole joined The Franchise Company, a North American network of 1,700 franchises, including well-known brands like California Closets, College Pro Painters, Pillar to Post, and CertaPro Painters. There, she worked in Operations and HR, developing and implementing training programs across multiple industries. Immersed in a culture of continuous learning and growth, she strengthened her expertise in building strong, scalable people strategies.
Driven by a vision to help organizations build thriving workplace cultures, Nicole founded Peoplesyde HR Group in 2012. She brings a unique perspective shaped by her background in psychology (specializing in organizational behavior) and her diverse experience across the airline, construction, non-profit, retail, and hospitality industries.
A lifelong traveler, Nicole believes in the power of cultural exchange—not just for personal growth, but as a way to understand how different people think, work, and lead. This global perspective fuels her approach to leadership development, employee engagement, and workplace transformation.
Today, through Peoplesyde, Nicole partners with organizations to create workplaces where people feel inspired, supported, and empowered to do their best work.
