Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Austin teams
Average private-sector pay in Travis County reached $104,142 in 2025 (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27). At those wages, replacing a trained employee costs real money, and people leave managers before they leave jobs. For the 94 percent of local establishments with fewer than 50 people (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27), one skilled supervisor is the whole retention plan.

Texas employment context
HR compliance for Texas employers
Texas does not require private employers to provide harassment prevention training; the only Texas training mandate, Labor Code section 21.010, covers state agency employees. What Texas does have is an unusually broad sexual harassment law. Since September 1, 2021, chapter 21 of the Labor Code reaches employers with as few as one employee for sexual harassment claims, holds them to an “immediate and appropriate corrective action” standard, and gives workers 300 days to file, up from 180 for other claims. The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division enforces it alongside the EEOC, which logged 9,360 Texas charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27), the most of any state. Documented manager training is the practical way to make the corrective-action standard real. Catapult trains Austin managers on exactly these obligations, live online, with the documentation to match.
