“We are confident the House’s partnership with FranklinCovey, a globally recognized leader in corporate training, will successfully balance the enormous logistical requirements of in-person education for an estimated 16,500 individuals across the United States and provide an excellent education session that includes anti-harassment and anti-discrimination subject matter,” House Chief Administrative Officer Philip G. Kiko said in a statement.
The sessions will be 90 minutes long and focus on anti-harassment and anti-discrimination information and policies.
