With 84,145 private-sector jobs in Scott County, manager skills are the retention lever Davenport employers actually control.

Iowa employment context
HR compliance for Iowa employers
Iowa sets no harassment prevention training requirement. The Iowa Civil Rights Act of 1965 (Iowa Code ch. 216) prohibits employment discrimination and harassment at employers with 4 or more regular employees and is enforced by the Iowa Civil Rights Commission; federal Title VII adds coverage at 15. Iowa recorded 267 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), the lowest total in the Midwest, but a single mishandled complaint still costs more than years of training. Under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions, a documented policy plus trained supervisors is what earns Davenport employers the affirmative defense. For Davenport employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build that documentation without travel.
