Pursuing recovery and/or taking measures

With the confidant, you can consider whether it is desirable and feasible to pursue redress. For example, is it possible to address the person who exhibited the undesirable behavior? Are you able or willing to do that yourself, or do you prefer the confidant to do that on your behalf? Would you like help in making your boundaries assertively clear? Can reconciliation bring both parties closer together and give them recognition?

With the confidant you can also examine whether measures should be taken. You might consider the following possibilities:

• Should a supervisor or human resources manager be notified to follow up on your report? After a neutral investigation, they can see what actions are appropriate: an evaluation interview, a coaching program … etc.
• The confidant can advise and guide you if you wish to initiate disciplinary proceedings.
• Would you prefer to be guided by an external entity? Then the confidant can inform you about the various possibilities and support you in contacting those entities.
