Inappropriate behaviour can take many forms and can be found just as much in our language as in the actions we carry out. Often, inappropriate language and action build on assumptions and stereotypes. Also, it often takes place in a subtle way, where language, actions, tone of voice, and body language in combination can make something that otherwise could seem innocent, into inappropriate language or action.
It is therefore important to be aware of how for example terms and phrases we use can be perceived by our colleagues. It is also central to be aware not to make assumptions about colleagues and their background.
If you have experienced or witnessed offensive behavior and want to talk to someone about it, your manager is a good entry point to coming forward with information on inappropriate-, transgressive, offensive behaviour or harassment. You can also talk to you TR/AMR who can also guide you in regards to how best to address the offensive behaviour to the offending party.
What happens when you inform either your manager or TR/AMR about inappropriate-, transgressive, offensive behaviour or harassment is totally up to you. It it important to state that your conversations with your manager as well as a TR/AMR are strictly confidential, and they will not move forward with your information unless you explicitly tell them to do so.
