Reporting harassment and misconduct

At Hanken, we take harassment and misconduct seriously. This page aims to provide clear steps for students, staff and guests to report incidents, seek help, and understand what actions they can take. Explore the options below to find the right path for your situation.

Your first point of contact

Your first point of contact should be the person directly responsible for you, a class, or a lecture:

• Faculty and staff: contact your manager
• Students and guests: contact the staff member responsible for the class (e.g. a lecturer or professor) or the person responsible for an event (e.g. an event organizer).

Other ways to get help

If you do not feel comfortable speaking to the person mentioned earlier, you have other channels to seek support and report what happened. Depending on your situation, different people and services are available to help you:

• A situation makes you feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or excluded, and you would like to discuss it:
  → Contact: Hanken's DEI Ombuds Hanna Sipiläinen, Man Yang, and Carlos Diaz Ruiz at dei@hanken.fi or Equity and Harassment Ombudsmen at SHS
• You want to anonymously report discrimination or harassment you experienced or witnessed at Hanken:
  → Contact: Anonymous Reporting Channel
   
• A process or a physical space is unsafe, and you would like to report it so that it is dealt with through an official process:
  → Contact: Occupational Health and Safety Representative
   
• Employment contracts, HR processes, workload, salaries, obligations at the workplace, etc., feel inappropriate:
  → Contact: Human Resources
   
• You suspect conduct harmful to public interests, e.g. violations of EU privacy, environmental, or safety regulations:
  → Contact: Whistleblowing Channel
   
• You suspect that a crime may have been committed.
  → Contact: Police
  Important: You don’t have to know whether it was a crime - it is the police’s job to investigate!
