A new person was hired a few weeks ago. He's tells semi awkward jokes, mostly punny ones or "dad" jokes that half the time, aren't perceived as very funny. Every so often he tells a joke that has a sexual theme or a sexual innuendo in it, that also isn't particularly funny and makes me slightly more uncomfortable than his unfunny jokes.
Just recently at a company outing, with alcohol involved, he made a joke to me where he said a dirty phrase and then pretended he said a very innocuous phrase. He then told this "joke" to a few women directly next me, who either thought he said the innocuous phrase or who were just playing along.
Earlier, one of those women said to me how they were going to the other end of the bar to avoid this new co-worker. She didn't say why, I just assumed because he was being socially awkward and/or annoying to her, but still not inappropriate.
I feel that at this point I am required to address his inappropriate behavior, because it is no longer just impacting me. The company is small (~14 people) and I have a "senior" title, but no one reports to me.
Should I go directly to HR, speak to him directly, go to my boss for advice, or some combination?
