Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Rochester teams
Average private-sector pay across Monroe County reached $68,681 in 2025 (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). At that pay, every avoidable resignation is expensive to replace, and the manager relationship decides most of them. Training frontline supervisors is the cheapest retention lever a Rochester employer has, and the fastest to put in place.

New York employment context
HR compliance for New York employers
New York sets the broadest harassment training mandate in the country. Under Labor Law section 201-g, every employer in the state, regardless of size, must give every employee interactive sexual harassment prevention training at least once a year, and part-time, seasonal and temporary workers all count. Training must meet or exceed the model published by the New York State Department of Labor and the Division of Human Rights, and online delivery qualifies only when it is genuinely interactive. New York City employers with 15 or more employees carry an additional annual training requirement under Local Law 96 of 2018, enforced by the NYC Commission on Human Rights. New York employers also generated 4,132 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), so completion records are not optional paperwork. Catapult’s live instructor-led online sessions meet the interactive standard and give every Rochester attendee a completion record for the file.

Good to know
Rochester HR training questions
Who has to take sexual harassment training in New York?
Everyone on the payroll. New York’s annual requirement covers full-time, part-time, seasonal and temporary employees, regardless of immigration status, at employers of every size. Rochester employers should fold training into onboarding, since the state expects new hires to be trained as soon as possible after they start.
Yes, Rochester teams attend every course live online. There is no travel: sessions stream to your desk on a year-round calendar, posted in Eastern Time, your own time zone. If you prefer a classroom, the in-person rooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The catalog covers leadership and management, harassment prevention, professional development, technology skills and HRCI and SHRM certification prep. For Rochester employers, demand concentrates where local employment does: health care accounts for 77,270 jobs in Monroe County (BLS QCEW, 2025 annual averages).
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. Private delivery works two ways for Rochester organizations: a live online session reserved for your team, or facilitators on-site at your location. Content can be tailored to your policies, and scheduling follows your calendar.
