If female employees are complaining that a worker is misbehaving and flirting with them at the workplace, not listening to their instructions, what should the person hiring the worker do? Should the worker be fired or is there any way this misbehavior can be prevented?
Misbehaving and flirting with female employees

You don't fire someone for flirting with a co staff. They absolutely have the right to but it is not in my business place or during official hours. It is a personal life for someone to choose who to flirt with. As long as it doesn't affect my business, happy flirtation from your boss.

I think proper warnings should be given out, if after this, the harassment still continues then the best option would be to let go of that staff.
Suggestive behaviours are not allowed in an organisation. A place of work is supposed to promote decency. Such a staff reported should be fined and if it repeats, should be dismissed.
The worker will usually not get an opportunity to interact with the female employees outside the workplace,The workers are usually having plenty of free time, waiting and some are misusing the free time,
If there is complain that a worker is flirting with female employees, there is reason to give stern warning and caution. If the worker continues, immediate dismissal is necessary because such behavior can undermine business growth. Once a female worker give such complain it simply means that she don't fancy such approach and can result in female molestation which may give bad image to the business
If it is just flirtation and it is not done in the workplace, let the male staff be. That's a private life which doesn't concern you as a boss of the organisation. You undermine yourself by entering into the private lives of your employees.
The flirtation and misbehavior is at the workplace only, the young women will otherwise not meet or interact with the male worker who is flirting with them, and the young women are complaining.
Flirty behaviours should not be allowed in an organisation. A place of work is supposed to promote decency. Any staff reported doing that should be punished
