HR training challenges facing Raleigh teams

North Carolina employment context
HR compliance for North Carolina employers
North Carolina does not require private employers to provide harassment prevention training. The state’s Equal Employment Practices Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-422.2) declares a public policy against discrimination but creates no state charge-filing process for private-sector workers, so claims run through federal law: Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA, enforced by the EEOC’s Charlotte District Office. North Carolina employers generated 4,266 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025, the seventh-highest state total in the country (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). With no state statute setting a training bar, federal case law does: under the Faragher and Ellerth decisions, documented manager training supports the affirmative defense to supervisor harassment claims. For Raleigh employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.
