Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Springfield teams
Springfield’s employers compete for people inside a market of 168,155 private-sector jobs across Hampden County (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). 93 percent of local establishments employ fewer than 50 people (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27), which means people decisions usually sit with owners and line managers, not an HR department. That is exactly who our courses train.
An HR membership organization since 1958, now delivering live online training across Massachusetts.
Average private-sector pay in Hampden County (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). Keeping people at that pay starts with managers.

Massachusetts employment context
HR compliance for Massachusetts employers
Massachusetts mandates a policy, not training. Under General Laws chapter 151B, section 3A, an employer with 6 or more employees must adopt a written sexual harassment policy and give a copy to every employee annually and to each new hire. The same statute encourages, without requiring, training for new employees within their first year and additional training for supervisors, and it is explicit that complying with the notice rules does not insulate an employer from liability. The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) enforces chapter 151B, and Massachusetts employers generated 696 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27) on top of MCAD filings. For Springfield employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.

Good to know
Springfield HR training questions
Does Massachusetts’ harassment policy rule cover small employers?
The written-policy requirement in chapter 151B, section 3A applies to employers with 6 or more employees. Smaller Springfield businesses fall outside chapter 151B but become exposed under federal law at 15 employees, and complaints can still arrive through other channels, so a written policy is cheap insurance.
