Workplaceless

What Workplaceless does

Workplaceless is a remote work training and education company that delivers structured certification and skill-development programs for distributed and hybrid workforces. Founded in 2017 by Tammy Bjelland and operated as Language in Bloom, LLC (dba Workplaceless), the company was the first to introduce a dedicated Remote Work Certification and has built a stackable curriculum of six core programs — Workplaceless (Remote Work Certification), Leadplaceless (virtual leadership), Goplaceless (executive/change-agent enablement), Trainplaceless (train-the-trainer), Growplaceless (career growth), and Async at Work — plus a Hybrid Team Success Toolkit of eight async templates. Customers include enterprise organizations (Toyota, Deutsche Bank, MURAL, Rockingham Insurance, Red Ventures, Lee Bank), small and mid-sized businesses, individual professionals, and educational institutions across more than 35 countries.

The product is delivered as SCORM- and xAPI-compatible eCourses hosted on MatrixLMS and SCORM Cloud, with synchronous workshops conducted via Zoom and collaborative whiteboard sessions via MURAL. Curriculum design is anchored in proprietary frameworks — the Placeless Taxonomy, the Placeless Mindset Framework (five pillars: location independence, autonomous work, async-driven productivity, transparency, and trust), and the Remote Work Competency Model (seven competency areas). Digital credentials are issued through Accredible, and courses are recognized by SHRM for Professional Development Credits and HRCI for recertification.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time individual course licenses priced $45-$195 with quote-based enterprise subscriptions (annual billing, bulk discounts at 50+ seats, and light content tailoring available at 300+ licenses), augmented by live interactive workshops, the Networkplaceless peer learning subscription, and freemium content including the Workplaceless Insider newsletter. Go-to-market combines consultative enterprise field sales for organizations with 50+ employees, self-serve e-commerce via the workplaceless.com storefront (WooCommerce + Stripe), and founder-led thought leadership across SHRM events, industry conferences, and 20+ podcast appearances. The company has recorded no external funding rounds and remains founder-owned.

Broad incumbents

• Coursera for Business: Coursera for Business distributes university and partner-led courses to enterprises for skill development, including leadership and workplace skills. It is a broad incumbent in corporate L&D with similar enterprise distribution muscle but generic rather than remote-work-specialized content.

It is comparable on the enterprise per-seat L&D distribution model, though its content skews toward technical rather than remote-work effectiveness skills.

It is an emerging player intersecting Workplaceless's space through HR-tech channels and content partnerships, though its core product is software rather than training.
