HR training challenges facing Lakewood teams
Jefferson County counts 210,914 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 17,999 employer establishments, and 96 percent of those establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.

Colorado employment context
HR compliance for Colorado employers
Colorado does not mandate harassment prevention training for private employers. The Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act covers employers of every size and is enforced by the Colorado Civil Rights Division. The standard tightened in August 2023, when the POWR Act (SB 23-172) removed the old severe-or-pervasive test, so unwelcome conduct based on a protected class can now be unlawful harassment well before it becomes extreme. That makes early, documented manager training more valuable, not less. Colorado employers also generated 1,290 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), on top of state filings. Under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions, a genuine policy plus documented supervisor training gives an employer an affirmative defense to supervisor harassment claims. Catapult delivers that training to Lakewood teams live online, with a completion record for every attendee.

Good to know
Lakewood HR training questions
Can Colorado employees file discrimination charges with both state and federal agencies?
Yes. Charges can be filed with the Colorado Civil Rights Division or the EEOC and are typically cross-filed between them. Deadlines are shorter than people expect, so Lakewood employers should document complaints immediately. Trained supervisors who escalate correctly on day one shorten every downstream step.
Yes. Every public session is delivered live online, so a Lakewood team joins the same class as attendees anywhere in the country. Sessions are posted in Eastern Time, and a noon Eastern start is a 10:00 AM seat locally. The only physical classrooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HR certification prep, delivered live online or privately on-site. The compliance and frontline-management courses map directly to the people issues health care employers around Lakewood handle daily.
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. That matters locally: the Denver-Aurora-Centennial, CO area employs 12,520 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), and each needs 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Lakewood employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
