Explanation

Having two investigators during the preliminary stages of a sexual harassment investigation is best practice for several important reasons: it provides a witness to all interviews and interactions, protecting both the investigators and the subjects from false accusations; it reduces the potential for 'he said/she said' disputes about what was said during interviews; it helps ensure objectivity and thoroughness; and it protects the integrity of the investigation process. One investigator leaves the process vulnerable to credibility challenges, while three or four may be excessive and intimidating for preliminary interviews, potentially interfering with candid responses.
