Brass eLearning System: Bringing Training to Every Corner of Your OrganizationHow Remote Learning Empowers Busy Teams—and Why Briason Associates Believes It’s the Future of Workforce Development

In today’s fast-paced, hybrid, and geographically scattered workplace, one thing is universal: no one has enough time.Between tight schedules, regulatory demands, and the daily work of serving people, training often slips to the bottom of the priority list.

Yet training is where excellence begins. It’s how staff stay compliant, grow skills, and strengthen the culture of quality your organization needs to thrive. But the old model of scheduling in-person sessions, printing handouts, and crossing fingers that everyone shows up? That doesn’t cut it anymore.

Enter Brass eLearning System—a modern, accessible, and flexible way to deliver training to every corner of your organization. Whether your team is working in offices, group homes, community programs, or remote environments, Brass ensures learning happens anywhere, anytime.

This blog explores why remote learning isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but a must-have for busy organizations—and how systems like Brass make it easy to train smarter, not harder. We’ll also touch on how Briason Associates, a leader in organizational development and compliance consulting, supports agencies in integrating eLearning into their broader success strategies.

The Training Dilemma: Too Much to Learn, Too Little Time

Training has always been a juggling act—balancing compliance requirements, staff development, and real-world constraints. Especially in fields like health and human services, developmental disability supports, and behavioral health, organizations face unique challenges:

• Regulatory requirements never stop changing. New OPWDD guidelines? DDS updates? EHR documentation standards? Staff need constant refreshers.

• High turnover means constant onboarding. Every time someone leaves or joins, you start the training cycle again.

• Scheduling is a nightmare. Getting overnight staff, case managers, and direct support professionals (DSPs) in one room is nearly impossible.

• Budget pressures are real. Flying trainers across locations or pulling staff from shifts costs money.

So while everyone knows training is essential, it often becomes reactive instead of strategic: cramming sessions before surveys, checking boxes for compliance, or simply hoping staff remember the policy manual.

That’s where remote eLearning transforms the game.

The Rise of Remote Learning

The global shift to remote and hybrid work accelerated a transformation that was already underway: the move toward digital training ecosystems.

According to LinkedIn’s 2024 Workplace Learning Report, 91% of organizations now use online platforms as a primary or hybrid method for employee training. And it’s not just because of convenience—it’s because the data shows it works:

• Retention rates for eLearning can be up to 60% higher than traditional training.

• Learners complete training faster—often in half the time of in-person sessions.

• Organizations save up to 50% on training costs by reducing travel, venue, and instructor expenses.

But beyond the metrics, eLearning represents something deeper: accessibility. It means that everyone—from frontline workers to executive directors—gets the same opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to organizational excellence.

That’s the philosophy behind Brass eLearning System.

Meet Brass: Training That Travels Anywhere You Do

Brass eLearning System was designed for organizations that can’t afford for training to be an afterthought—but also can’t stop operations to make it happen.

Here’s what makes Brass a game-changer:

1. On-Demand Access

Brass gives every employee access to required and elective training modules 24/7. Whether it’s 10 p.m. after a late shift or 7 a.m. before morning rounds, learning fits into your team’s schedule—not the other way around.

2. Mobile-Friendly Experience

Staff can log in from a phone, tablet, or laptop—perfect for those who work in the field or travel between sites. No need for special equipment or software installations.

3. Customizable Content

Your organization’s policies, procedures, and branding can be built directly into Brass. Need to train on your own incident-reporting process, person-centered planning forms, or safety protocols? You can upload your own materials or have modules tailored to your environment.

4. Automated Tracking and Reporting

Say goodbye to spreadsheet chaos. Brass tracks completion rates, quiz scores, and certificates in real time—giving managers a clear view of who’s trained, who’s due, and where follow-up is needed. Perfect for audit readiness.

5. Interactive Learning

Brass isn’t just “click next” PowerPoints. It’s immersive: videos, knowledge checks, real-life scenarios, and gamified learning elements that make information stick. Think “Netflix meets compliance training.”

6. Scalable for All Sizes

Whether you’re a 20-person agency or a multi-state organization with hundreds of employees, Brass grows with you. You can add users, customize content, and manage multiple training tracks without complicated IT infrastructure.

Why Remote Training Works (Even Better Than You Think)

Let’s bust the myth that eLearning is “less personal.” When done right, it can actually create a stronger learning culture—because it empowers staff to take ownership of their growth.

Flexibility Creates Engagement

When people can train on their own time, completion rates skyrocket. No rescheduling headaches, no lost productivity. Staff feel trusted to manage their learning—an empowering message that builds morale.

Consistency Improves Compliance

Traditional training can vary depending on the instructor or session. eLearning ensures every staff member receives the same information, presented the same way, every time. That consistency is key for OPWDD, DDS, and CQL compliance standards.

Microlearning Fits the Modern Attention Span

Brass uses short, digestible lessons that fit into real life. Instead of hour-long marathons, modules are often 10–15 minutes. Staff can complete them between shifts or while waiting for a meeting—small chunks that add up to big gains.

Data Tells the Story

With built-in analytics, leaders can see trends—like which topics confuse staff or which teams are excelling. This turns training into actionable insight, guiding future coaching and quality improvement.

Better Onboarding and Retention

New hires can start training the moment they’re hired, even before their first shift. That means they hit the ground running—and feel supported from day one. In a field with high turnover, that’s invaluable.

Real-World Example: The 24/7 Organization

Picture this: You run a network of group homes and day programs across three counties.

You employ 250 people—DSPs, nurses, case managers, administrators—and you’re required to deliver 20+ annual trainings (from rights protections to medication administration).

In the past, this meant:

• Scheduling 25 different training sessions per quarter

• Paying overtime for weekend classes

• Keeping paper sign-in sheets and chasing signatures

With Brass, everything changes.

Now, each employee receives a login. They can complete assigned modules remotely, the system sends reminders automatically, and supervisors can view reports in real time.

The result?

• Training completion jumped from 68% to 98%

• Administrative hours dropped by 60%

• Staff reported higher satisfaction because training felt flexible, modern, and relevant

That’s what it means to bring training to every corner of your organization.

Beyond Compliance: Building a Culture of Learning

Remote training shouldn’t stop at “required topics.” The real magic happens when you use systems like Brass to build a culture of continuous learning.

Imagine a world where your staff log into the eLearning system not just to check a box, but to grow:

• A DSP explores a new module on positive behavior support because she wants to improve her skills.

• A manager completes a leadership development course between meetings.

• A nurse reviews an updated infection-control module the week new CDC guidance drops.

That’s how you move from compliance to excellence—training not because you have to, but because you want to.

And when staff see that commitment from leadership—when they feel their professional growth is valued—they stay longer, perform better, and create better outcomes for the people they serve.

Tips for Making Remote Learning Stick

Adopting eLearning is exciting, but it’s more than flipping a switch. Here are a few lessons learned from organizations that have successfully integrated systems like Brass:

1. Start Small, Scale Up

Begin with core compliance modules (like rights, safety, documentation). Once your team is comfortable, expand into leadership, communication, and wellness topics.

2. Celebrate Completions

Recognize staff who finish courses early or achieve top scores. A little recognition (like shout-outs in staff meetings or certificates) reinforces that learning is valued.

3. Blend Online and Real-World Learning

Use eLearning as a foundation, then reinforce with on-the-job coaching or team discussions. Hybrid learning often yields the best retention.

4. Gather Feedback

Ask staff what they enjoy—or struggle with—about the eLearning experience. Use that data to refine future content.

5. Keep It Fresh

Rotate new courses quarterly. Update content when regulations or best practices change. Keeping the catalog dynamic sustains engagement.

6. Tie Training to Outcomes

Show staff the why behind each course. For example: “This rights training helps us stay compliant with OPWDD 633.4—and, more importantly, helps us support people with dignity and choice.”

Overcoming Common Concerns

Let’s address the top three hesitations organizations sometimes have about eLearning—and why they’re solvable.

“Our staff aren’t tech-savvy.”

Modern systems like Brass are built with simplicity in mind. If you can use a smartphone, you can complete a module. Plus, onboarding support and video walkthroughs make it intuitive.

“We’ll lose personal connection.”

Actually, eLearning can enhance connection by freeing up in-person time for mentoring and discussion rather than rote presentations. Many agencies use online forums or reflection questions to keep it interactive.

“We don’t have time to manage another system.”

Brass automates much of the admin work—reminders, recordkeeping, and certificates are built-in. You’ll spend less time chasing compliance, not more.

The Future of Workforce Development

The workforce of tomorrow is digital, mobile, and self-directed. Organizations that embrace remote learning are positioning themselves not just for compliance, but for sustainability.

Training isn’t a cost—it’s an investment in resilience, safety, and staff empowerment. When people feel supported to learn, they’re more adaptable, more engaged, and more loyal.

Brass eLearning System embodies that shift. It transforms training from a task into a tool—for growth, compliance, and connection.

Bringing It All Together
