Hyattsville, MD – August 20, 2026 – PowerTrain, Inc. has been recognized with a Brandon Hall Group™ Silver HCM Excellence Award® in the Best Use of Video for Learning category for its EAC Election Training Microlearning Program. The HCM Excellence Awards® recognize organizations that successfully develop and deploy programs, strategies, technologies, and solutions that deliver measurable business results and advance excellence in Human Capital Management.
Developed in partnership with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), the program was designed to deliver essential election training in a format that is concise, engaging, and easy to revisit. Rather than relying on long-form instruction, the program organizes complex topics into focused video-based microlearning experiences that learners can complete in manageable segments.
The program’s video-first approach combines clear narration, purposeful visuals, and a modular structure to support understanding and retention. The result is a flexible training resource that communicates important information efficiently while respecting learners’ varied responsibilities, experience levels, and schedules.
The recognition reflects the close collaboration between PowerTrain’s learning and multimedia teams and EAC subject-matter experts, who worked together to translate complex, high-stakes content into practical learning experiences.
“This recognition reflects the care our team and EAC brought to every part of the program. Election training requires clarity, accuracy, and respect for learners’ time. By translating complex content into focused video microlearning, we created a resource that is practical, engaging, and built to support people doing essential work.”
Lisa Cox, CEO, PowerTrain, Inc.
Each submission to the HCM Excellence Awards® is evaluated by an independent panel of Brandon Hall Group™ analysts, industry experts, and experienced practitioners using consistent criteria that assess business need, program design, innovation, adoption, and organizational impact.
“Every year, the HCM Excellence Awards® remind us that innovation is ultimately about impact. The organizations recognized this year have demonstrated that great HR and learning strategies don’t just improve programs, they strengthen organizations, empower people and deliver measurable business results. We are honored to celebrate their achievements.”
