Kelly, a human resource specialist, has been asked to investigate complaints that an employee is bullying co-workers. Kelly is obligated to protect this employee's privacy by ensuring that any information gathered is relevant to the complaint.

As an HR specialist, Kelly has a duty to protect the privacy of all employees, including the one who is being investigated for bullying. However, this does not mean that she cannot gather relevant information for the complaint. Kelly needs to balance the need to investigate the complaint against the need to protect the privacy of the employee being investigated.
