Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Santa Ana teams
Hiring and keeping people is the daily fight for Santa Ana employers. Across California, workers quit at an average monthly rate of 1.8 percent in 2025 (BLS JOLTS state estimates, retrieved 2026-07-27), and every departure lands on the managers left behind. With 1,501,792 private-sector jobs in Orange County, trained supervisors are the cheapest retention lever an employer here has.

California employment context
HR compliance for California employers
California employers with five or more employees must provide harassment prevention training: two hours for supervisors and one hour for non-supervisory employees, within six months of hire or promotion and every two years after. The requirement is set by Government Code section 12950.1 established by AB 1825 in 2004 and extended to smaller employers by SB 1343 in 2018 and enforced by the California Civil Rights Department. Seasonal and temporary staff must be trained within 30 calendar days of hire or 100 hours worked, whichever comes first, and live interactive webinar training satisfies the law. California employers also generated 4,750 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so keep completion records for every employee. Catapult runs SB 1343-compliant sessions live online, so Santa Ana teams hit the two-year deadline without leaving their desks.

Good to know
Santa Ana HR training questions
Does California harassment prevention training expire?
Effectively yes: it is only good for 2 years. Government Code section 12950.1 requires retraining every 2 years for supervisors and non-supervisory employees alike. Santa Ana employers commonly track due dates alongside other renewals, because completion records are the first thing an investigator asks for.
Yes, Santa Ana teams attend every course live online. There is no travel: sessions stream to your desk and the calendar runs year-round. Sessions are posted in Eastern Time, so a noon Eastern start is a 9:00 AM seat locally. If you prefer a classroom, the in-person rooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The catalog covers leadership and management, harassment prevention, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. For Santa Ana employers, demand concentrates where local employment does: health care accounts for 238,707 jobs in Orange County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages).
Yes. Most Catapult courses carry HRCI and SHRM recertification credit, and both bodies run 3-year, 60-credit recertification cycles, so regular attendance keeps HR professionals current without a scramble. Every attendee receives a completion record for their files.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Santa Ana employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
