Michigan employment context

HR compliance for Michigan employers

Michigan sets no harassment prevention training mandate for private employers. What it does set is unusually broad coverage: the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act applies to every Michigan employer with 1 or more employees, including sexual orientation and gender identity since its 2023 amendment, and is enforced by the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. Federal Title VII adds coverage at 15 employees, and Michigan produced 2,486 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). Because even a single-employee business carries state liability, documented manager training is the practical standard Lansing employers use to show the reasonable care federal courts look for. Catapult trains Lansing teams live online and issues a completion record for every attendee.

Local industries

Training for Lansing’s key industries

Ingham County’s private payrolls concentrate in Health Care (24,715 jobs), Retail (11,838), Hospitality and Food Service (10,674) and Manufacturing (9,439) (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). Each sector generates its own people problems, and the course catalog maps to them.

Health Care

Average pay $65,484 in Ingham County (BLS QCEW, 2025). Licensure, mandatory reporting and 24-hour scheduling make supervision a technical skill here.

Retail

868 establishments in Ingham County (BLS QCEW, 2025). Young, seasonal workforces put coaching and scheduling judgment on the store manager.

Hospitality & Food Service

606 establishments in Ingham County (BLS QCEW, 2025). Tips, late shifts and guest conduct make this the sector where complaints surface first.

Manufacturing

257 establishments in Ingham County (BLS QCEW, 2025). The best machine operator becomes the shift lead, and nobody teaches the people half of the job.
