SPECIAL EDITION: Elite Partners Series – featuring Cornerstone OnDemand
We are very proud of our Elite Partnerships with Carriers and Vendors that incorporate technology into all they do. This series features each of our Elite Partners, who offer savings and efficiencies for your technology and communication needs.
This week’s featured partner is Cornerstone OnDemand. Our series hosts, Therese Tomasek & Holli Brummett, sat down with Mike Siano to discuss Cornerstone’s tech know-how, company developments, and market wins.
BTR:
What is Cornerstone’s claim to fame?
Cornerstone:
Cornerstone has been a SaaS provider for holistic talent development and learning management for more than 20 years. We have supported over seven thousand organizations and over 90 million individuals worldwide. Our services inspire growth, productivity, and success for the total organization.
BTR:
How is Cornerstone helping employers prioritize virtual learning and development for their employees?
Cornerstone:
We are in a new world now, after Covid and it’s no secret that the Pandemic brought to light gaps that many employers struggle with at the organizational level. Early in the Pandemic, we released Cornerstone Cares, which was a free, online catalogue of mental wellness content available to anyone who accessed the portal. We continue to offer this content today, which is packaged as “nano-content,” which are short videos, to larger segments about the subject matter selected by the organization. This type of packaging allows the user to consume the content in the method that works best for them.
BTR:
Considering the new ways we are doing work these days, how is Cornerstone helping employers keep their employees engaged in their daily work?
Cornerstone:
With the large shift to remote work in 2020, we analyzed the content being consumed at that time to proactively identify what employees were needing and keeping employers in-the-know. We then leveraged this data to support employers with building the content into their online workflows (i.e., benefits enrollment) by applying systems integrations. This uniquely positioned our content before the employee, regardless of where they were seeing it, which eliminated barriers to consuming the content and thusly helps the organization as a whole.
We also see these videos benefiting organizations with multi-generational workforces. As each generation comes to work with a different viewpoint, we can address a variety of needs through our content delivery options.
BTR:
Can you tell us what is on your roadmap? What about integrations?
Cornerstone:
Cornerstone releases updates every three months. This year, we have seen the most content development and release around Skills in the workplace.
Regarding integrations, Cornerstone “is not a jealous application.” We are ready to work with other technologies to ensure a seamless experience for employers and employees alike. We have many integrations already in production and are happy to explore a new connection if a client needs it.
Our main goal is to arm CHROs and CLOs with the data they need to develop a holistic plan for supporting their organization in the most effective way for their organization’s needs.
