Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.

Maryland employment context
HR compliance for Maryland employers
Maryland does not mandate harassment prevention training, but state law treats harassment more seriously than most. General employment discrimination provisions apply to employers with 15 or more employees, harassment protections reach smaller employers as well, and an employee has 2 years, not the usual 300 days, to file a harassment complaint with the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR). Montgomery County also runs its own Office of Human Rights that takes local discrimination complaints. Maryland employers generated 2,146 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). That long filing window makes dated training records and contemporaneous documentation worth more here than almost anywhere. For Germantown employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.
Employment law guidance reviewed by Karol Dixon, Senior HR Advisor, and Cindy Satter, Senior HR Advisor, SHRM-SCP, PHR. See Catapult HR Advisors.

Good to know
Germantown HR training questions
Do Montgomery County employers face extra anti-discrimination rules?
Yes. Montgomery County operates its own Office of Human Rights that investigates local discrimination complaints, alongside the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights and the EEOC. A Germantown employer can face the same facts in three forums, which is why consistent policies, training records and investigation files matter.
Yes. Every session is live online and open to anyone in Maryland. Sessions are scheduled on Eastern Time, which is Germantown’s own clock, so a 9:00 AM class starts at 9:00 AM local. In-person seats exist only in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; everywhere else attends virtually.
Everything an HR team buys training for: compliance and harassment prevention, manager development, professional skills, technology and certification prep. Course pages show upcoming dates, and any session can be delivered privately for a Germantown group, online or at your site.
Most do. Courses list HRCI and SHRM credit on their registration pages, and attendees receive completion records for their recertification files. Both credentialing bodies work on 3-year cycles, so a steady course cadence beats a last-minute scramble.
Yes. Any course in the catalog can run as a closed session for your Germantown organization, live online or with a facilitator at your site. You pick the date, we bring the instructor, and every attendee still receives a completion record.
