Every unfilled seat raises the value of the people already on payroll, and across the 57,731 private-sector jobs in the city of Roanoke, keeping them is a management skills problem before it is a pay problem.

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 Roanoke 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. Catapult’s live online sessions give Roanoke managers that documentation: instructor-led training with a completion record for every attendee.

Good to know
Roanoke HR training questions
Does Virginia require harassment training for supervisors?
No. Virginia sets no training mandate for private employers. But the Virginia Human Rights Act now reaches employers with 5 or more employees, and the Faragher-Ellerth defense in federal court turns on documented policy and supervisor training. For Roanoke employers, a fixed 2-year supervisor training cycle is the sensible voluntary standard.
Yes. Every session is live online and open to anyone in Virginia. Course times are posted in Eastern Time and Roanoke is on Eastern Time, so published session times are your local times, with no conversion to do. In-person seats exist only in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; everywhere else attends virtually.
Everything an HR team buys training for: compliance and harassment prevention, manager development, professional skills, technology and certification prep. Each course page lists upcoming dates, and any session can run privately for a Roanoke group, online or at your site.
Yes, most courses carry both HRCI and SHRM recertification credit. Locally that is no small thing: the Roanoke, VA area employs 780 HR specialists (BLS OEWS, May 2025), each needing 60 recertification credits every 3 years. Completion records arrive after every session.
Yes, and for cohorts of 10 or more it is often the better buy. Catapult runs private sessions for Roanoke employers live online or on-site, scheduled around shifts and time zones, with the same HRCI and SHRM credit and completion records.
