Why it matters here

With 65,564 private-sector jobs in DeSoto County, supervisor skill is the cheapest retention tool available.

Mississippi employment context
HR compliance for Mississippi employers
Mississippi mandates no harassment prevention training and has no state fair employment law covering private-sector workers, so federal law is the operative standard: Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA, enforced through the EEOC’s Birmingham District Office and its Jackson Area Office. Mississippi employers generated 1,300 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). For a Southaven employer the practical bar comes from federal case law: a genuine anti-harassment policy and documented manager training are what courts recognize as reasonable care, and completion records are the proof. For Southaven employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.

Good to know
Southaven HR training questions
Which employment laws apply in Southaven, Mississippi?
Federal law almost exclusively: Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA, since Mississippi has no private-sector discrimination statute. Southaven employers in the Memphis metro often operate across the state line, where Tennessee adds its own Human Rights Act at 8 or more employees. Training managers to the stricter standard keeps both sides compliant.
Yes. Every public course runs live online with an instructor, so teams in Southaven and across DeSoto County join without travel. There is no residency requirement and no membership needed to register.
Catapult’s classroom sessions run at the Charlotte and Raleigh learning centers. For Southaven employers the two usual routes are live online, which is how most teams attend, or private delivery at your own Southaven location on a date you choose.
Mississippi has no comprehensive state anti-discrimination statute for private employers; employment discrimination is governed by federal law and enforced by the EEOC. Catapult training helps Southaven managers meet those obligations in practice, not just in policy. This is general information, not legal advice.
Southaven employers come mainly from Agriculture, Manufacturing, Healthcare. Those sectors book supervisory and employment-law training most often, because managers are usually promoted from the work rather than trained into managing it. The industry notes above list the courses each sector books.
Most single-session courses are $249 for members and $289 for non-members, with three or more seats priced lower. Certificate programs start at $529. A Class Pass covers the whole catalog for a year at $1,000 for members and $1,000 for non-members.
