Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Charleston teams
HR payroll math favors outside training in Charleston. The median HR specialist in the Charleston-North Charleston, SC area earns $70,580 a year and an HR manager $127,080 (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). For most of the 15,801 employers in Charleston County (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27), outside training costs a fraction of another hire.
Catapult, founded in Charlotte in 1958, has served South Carolina employers for decades.

South Carolina employment context
HR compliance for South Carolina employers
South Carolina has no harassment prevention training mandate for private employers. The South Carolina Human Affairs Law covers employers with 15 or more employees and is enforced by the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission, which processes charges alongside the EEOC; South Carolina produced 1,177 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). Because the state law tracks federal Title VII, the liability standard comes from federal case law: an employer that can show a real anti-harassment policy and documented manager training holds an affirmative defense to supervisor harassment claims. That makes a fixed training cycle a sensible internal standard for Charleston employers even without a statute. For Charleston employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.
