Question:

"A woman who recently left our employment has now written to complain that, during her time with us, her boss sexually harassed her. As she has left, do we need to do anything?"

HR tip:

Yes, and quickly. Urge her to put her complaint to you in written detail so that you may carry out a thorough investigation. Then ask her to attend a formal grievance hearing.
