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’s live online sessions give Plano teams documented, instructor-led training with a completion record for your files.

Good to know
Plano HR training questions
Does a Plano company with California remote workers need harassment training?
For the California staff, yes. California requires 2 hours for supervisors and 1 hour for other employees at companies with 5 or more workers, counting remote hires based there. Texas imposes no equivalent mandate, so many Plano employers simply train everyone to the California standard once.
Distance is not a barrier. All open-enrollment courses run live online, and Plano teams attend alongside peers nationwide. Because sessions are posted in Eastern Time, a noon Eastern start is an 11:00 AM seat locally. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want a room of your own people.
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 finance and insurance employers around Plano handle daily.
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. That matters locally: the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area employs 29,190 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), and each needs 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
Yes, and it is often the better fit for cohorts of 10 or more. Catapult runs private sessions for Plano employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
