Why it matters here
HR training challenges facing Norfolk teams
The city of Norfolk holds 104,368 private-sector jobs (BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, 2025 annual averages, retrieved 2026-07-27) across 5,398 employer establishments, and 93 percent of those establishments run with fewer than 50 people (Census County Business Patterns, 2023, retrieved 2026-07-27). At that size there is usually no HR specialist down the hall, so the manager’s first response is the company’s response.

Virginia employment context
HR compliance for Virginia employers
Virginia does not mandate harassment prevention training, but its discrimination law just got much broader. As of July 1, 2026, the Virginia Human Rights Act covers employers with 5 or more employees, down from 15, and workers now have 730 days to file with the Office of Civil Rights in the Attorney General’s office. Virginia employers also faced 2,767 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025 (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). A 5-person Norfolk business now carries state discrimination exposure that used to start at 15 employees. Documented manager training is the practical response: it is the reasonable-care evidence courts look for under the federal Faragher and Ellerth decisions. For Norfolk employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.

Good to know
Norfolk HR training questions
Where do Norfolk employees file workplace discrimination complaints?
Either with the Virginia Office of Civil Rights, which enforces the Virginia Human Rights Act and now accepts complaints for 730 days, or with the EEOC, which keeps a Norfolk Local Office under its Charlotte District. Virginia employers faced 2,767 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal 2025, so both routes see steady use.
Distance is no barrier. All open-enrollment courses are delivered live online, and Norfolk teams attend alongside peers nationwide. Times are posted in Eastern Time, so published session times are your local times, with no conversion to do. Private on-site delivery is the alternative when you want your own room.
Leadership and management, harassment prevention and compliance, professional development, technology skills and HR certification prep, live online or privately on-site. The compliance and frontline-management courses map directly to the people issues health care employers around Norfolk handle every week.
Nearly all. HRCI and SHRM approval is listed on each course page, and completion certificates document your hours. If your team holds PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP credentials, Catapult sessions slot straight into their recertification plans.
Yes. Private delivery works two ways for Norfolk organizations: a live online session reserved for your team, or facilitators on-site at your location. Content can be tailored to your policies, and scheduling follows your calendar and time zone.
