Research and Insight

Our research gives voice to the real experiences of non-EU skilled immigrants in Norway, turning lived stories into data that can inform awareness, dialogue, and change.

Silence or Speak Up?

This survey explores how our visa/residency status affects our experiences at work as non-EU skilled workers — especially whether we feel vulnerable to mobbing, discrimination, or toxic dynamics. Get the full survey insights by contacting us.

Fear of consequences

Have you ever stayed silent about mobbing, discrimination, or toxic dynamics at work because you feared losing your job could affect your legal status/residency?

Lack of protection

Do you think Norway’s current rules (no dagpenger / limited job rights while waiting for PR) make immigrants more vulnerable to mobbing or toxic workplaces?
I would feel safer to speak up at work if there were stronger protections for immigrants and clearer systems to report unfair treatment without fear of losing our jobs or residence status.

My accent wasn’t very good while speaking Norwegian... when I came out of room, I heard everyone inside the room laughing loudly at me. I was ashamed and embarrassed, and couldn’t complaint out of fear of losing my job.
