Being sensitive to Michelle’s feelings and needs is important because she may be feeling vulnerable and traumatized. It is important to provide her with support and to let her know that she is not alone.

Taking steps to prevent retaliation against Michelle is important because it is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who file complaints of sexual harassment. This can include taking steps such as placing the supervisor on administrative leave or transferring Michelle to a different department.

Being fair and impartial in the investigation and in the recommendations to management is important to ensure that the investigation is unbiased and that the resolution is fair.

Your goal of resolving the situation fairly and quickly, and ensuring that Michelle is able to work in a safe and harassment-free environment, is commendable.
