"Intervene - get help - follow up" is a guide for dealing with transgressive behavior in the workplace, and the guide is based on three central pieces of advice: Intervene: Try to calmly interrupt the situation without escalating the conflict. Get help: If you can't intervene yourself; get help from someone who can. Follow up: Tell those involved how you experienced the situation.

The theory behind the guide is the so-called bystander effect - that we often find it difficult to take action when we witness transgressive behavior. In the action guide, there is good advice for drawing up a policy together and for dealing with specific cases and for carrying out an evaluation.

We hope that you can find inspiration and help in the guide. As a supplement to the guide, the material consists of a "hand-out", which is a simple form to fill in with relevant contact persons - a simple and low-practical way of ensuring that all employees know where to turn if they see or experience transgressive behaviour.
