Indianapolis City-County employees now have a new tool to report sexual harassment anonymously, as a reporting website was launched by the mayor’s office. This initiative comes after recent investigations revealed instances of sexual harassment against city employees, including accusations against former Mayor Chief of Staff Thomas Cook. The City-County Council has since approved increased safety measures, annual sexual harassment training, and employee assistance programs. The new reporting website is part of the city’s commitment to creating a safe and respectful workplace for all employees. In a notice to employees, the city emphasized their dedication to addressing concerns promptly and effectively.
In addition to the new reporting website, victims of domestic violence can access resources through the Domestic Violence Network website. These resources are available to provide support for individuals experiencing domestic violence. The city’s efforts to address sexual harassment and support victims of domestic violence reflect a commitment to creating a safe and inclusive workplace environment. The launch of the reporting website marks a step forward in ensuring the well-being and safety of all Indianapolis City-County employees.
