INDIANAPOLIS — Mayor Hogsett has signed an executive order mandating all city-county employees to complete annual harassment training.
According to the order, every employee in the city-county will be required to attend an "interactive harassment awareness and prevention training program" that will be developed by the division of human resources and the office of corporation counsel.
This is the latest step by the Mayor to make systematic changes in the department after two women, Lauren Roberts and Caroline Ellert, accused his former chief of staff of sexual misconduct.
