When an employee complains about about sexual harassment or any other forms of mistreatment, managers need to follow three steps.
First, as soon as possible let HR know about the complaint to make sure employer policies and procedures are being followed to address the complaint without delay.

Third, if the charges have been supported by the evidence gathered, set appropriate discipline according to policies and circumstances, such as repeat offenses and the severity of the offense.
