North Dakota employment context
HR compliance for North Dakota employers
North Dakota has no harassment prevention training mandate for private employers. The North Dakota Human Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination and is enforced by the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights, with federal Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA on top. The EEOC recorded 99 North Dakota charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), and complaints may also be filed with the state department. With no statute setting a training standard, federal case law does: documented policy plus manager training is the recognized measure of reasonable care, and courts treat it as evidence of good faith. Catapult’s live online sessions give Bismarck teams documented, instructor-led training with completion records for your files.

Good to know
Bismarck HR training questions
Is HR training required by law in North Dakota?
No North Dakota statute requires HR or harassment prevention training for private employers. Federal Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA still apply, and under the Faragher and Ellerth decisions documented supervisor training supports an affirmative defense. Bismarck employers typically adopt a fixed two-year training cycle voluntarily.
Yes. Every public session is delivered live online, so a Bismarck team joins the same class as attendees anywhere in the country. Sessions are posted in Eastern Time, and a noon Eastern start is an 11:00 AM seat locally. The only physical classrooms are in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HR certification prep, delivered live online or privately on-site. The compliance and frontline-management courses map directly to the people issues health care employers around Bismarck handle daily.
Yes. Most Catapult courses carry HRCI and SHRM recertification credit, and both bodies run 3-year, 60-credit recertification cycles, so regular attendance keeps HR professionals current without a scramble. Every attendee receives a completion record for their files.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Bismarck employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
