Undue Influence

Work at KTH should be characterised by a safe and secure working environment. Unfortunately, situations may arise where staff are subjected to attempts at undue influence, for example, in connection with research, teaching, or the exercise of official authority. If you are affected, support and assistance are available.

What Counts as Undue Influence?

Undue influence refers to attempts to improperly or unlawfully influence someone. This can include pressure, bribery attempts, extortion, or other inappropriate interference with decision-making and work execution.

Your Safety Matters

KTH takes undue influence seriously and actively works to protect its employees. If you feel unsafe or targeted, do not hesitate to seek support – you are not alone, and help is available.

If You Have Been Affected:

  1. Report the Incident
    Immediately notify the security department. For non-urgent matters during office hours, you can contact sakerhet@kth.se. In more urgent cases, call KTH’s emergency number: 08-790 77 00. Through the department’s Duty Officer on Call (TiB function), you can reach someone from the security department 24/7.

  2. Inform Responsible Personnel
    Contact someone responsible for workplace safety and report what has happened. Primarily, you should turn to your immediate manager, but you can also contact HR or a workplace safety representative (skyddsombud).
