HR training challenges facing Warwick teams
Kent County counts 69,550 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) spread over 4,739 employer establishments, and 95 percent of those establishments have fewer than 50 employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). Most run lean HR teams. When one manager mishandles a complaint, there is rarely a specialist down the hall to catch it.

Rhode Island employment context
HR compliance for Rhode Island employers
Rhode Island mandates a policy rather than training. Under R.I. Gen. Laws chapter 28-51, an employer with 50 or more employees must adopt a written sexual harassment policy and give a copy to every new hire, and the chapter encourages training for all employees within their first year, with added content for supervisors. Workplace discrimination claims run through the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights alongside the EEOC, which logged 185 Rhode Island charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). Documented supervisor training remains the recognized way to show the reasonable care federal courts look for under the Faragher and Ellerth decisions. For Warwick employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions cover this ground and document it.

Good to know
Warwick HR training questions
Do small Rhode Island employers face harassment liability?
Yes. The 50-employee threshold in chapter 28-51 applies only to the written-policy mandate. Discrimination and harassment prohibitions under Rhode Island law and federal Title VII reach much smaller Warwick employers, so trained managers matter well below 50 employees, even though no training statute applies.
Distance is not a barrier. All open-enrollment courses run live online, and Warwick teams attend alongside peers nationwide. Session times are listed in Eastern Time, which matches Warwick’s clock exactly. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want a room of your own people.
Everything an HR team buys training for: compliance and harassment prevention, manager development, professional skills, technology and certification prep. Course pages show upcoming dates, and any session can be delivered privately for a Warwick group, online or at your site.
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, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Warwick employers live online or on-site, scheduled around your shifts, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
