What if the facts can be independently verified ?(existence of material proof or witnesses etc)

I imagine the right process would be to receive a claim and investigate it. The initial report doesn’t need to pinned to a specific employee, and it can even be a bystander that way. If enough evidence rise from the investigation, outing the reporter doesn’t bring much to the table.

You’re right that it’s more tricky when it’s a “he says she says” situation, those would warrant more direct confrontation I guess ?
