Is touching co-workers OK?

I’d like it to be like this:

“Sally, can you let me know in this context what your boundaries of touch are? Is this an issue just with Dave, or is it a wider issue?”

Then HR could help make a plan. If it’s just with Dave–AND IF THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT DAVE–then just tell Dave, “Hey, it makes Sally uncomfortable when you touch her. Don’t do that again.”

If Dave complies, that’s the end of it.

You dont understand how HR works. They are not there to protect employees, they are their to protect (their own asses and) the company. Complainers and complainees thus are be be gotten rid of.
