Dave, a frontline supervisor, met with his human resources manager. He said, "One of my male employees told me this morning that he wants some action taken against one of his coworkers, a female. He said that she pats his behind when he walks by and flirts with him verbally. He said that this has been going on a while, and he is embarrassed and tired of it$.$ Because in this case a female is bothering a male, is this a problem that I have to worry about?" How should the human resources manager reply?
