Monitoring progress and ongoing support
After the initial response, monitor the situation to ensure safety and well-being. Schedule periodic check-ins and solicit feedback about whether the employee feels safe and supported. Document outcomes and any changes in risk.
Coordination with investigations
Coordinate with HR and the investigation team while preserving confidentiality. Share only relevant information and avoid discussing details publicly. Track milestones and timelines for the investigation.
Return-to-work planning and long-term actions
Develop a plan for return-to-work, accommodations, and follow-up training or coaching. Review team culture and leadership practices to reduce recurrence of harassment and reinforce inclusive behavior.
Retaliation prevention and accountability
Remain vigilant for retaliation and address concerns promptly. Reiterate commitments to a respectful workplace and provide continued access to resources. Document actions and outcomes for accountability.
