Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Topeka teams
Shawnee County counts 81,000 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 3,959 employer establishments, and 94 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.

Kansas employment context
HR compliance for Kansas employers
Kansas does not require private employers to provide harassment prevention training. The Kansas Act Against Discrimination covers employers with 4 or more employees, a far lower threshold than federal Title VII’s 15, and is enforced by the Kansas Human Rights Commission. That low threshold means most small Topeka businesses are covered by state law even where federal law does not reach them. The EEOC recorded 759 Kansas charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), alongside state filings. Documented supervisor training remains the recognized way to show reasonable care under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions. Catapult delivers that training to Topeka teams live online, with a completion record for every attendee.
