In the following hypothetical, you are the HR professional for the company. Consider the following:

John is Mary's supervisor. For the past month or so, Mary has noticed that John tends to "hang out" around her cubicle which is positioned right outside of John's office, to discuss his marital problems. At first, Mary tries to be a polite listener. But recently, John has increasingly started to talk about the deterioration of his sex life, and how he doesn't "get any" at home. This makes Mary uncomfortable. Now John has invited Mary to dinner to talk about a project the two of them are working on. Mary thinks it's unnecessary to go to dinner to discuss it, but she decides that she should go to dinner anyway. At dinner, John tells Mary that she is a hard worker, and that he is going to try to get her a raise. After dinner, John invites Mary to a hotel room. She tells John she is not interested in a relationship with her supervisor. The next day, Mary's cubicle is moved to another floor where she is now the only one from her department. She complains to you. What actions do you take?
