Cornerstone is being used across the whole organization. It is being used to house learning content, track completions and scores and push compliance content to employees as necessary. We are also looking to begin to use it as a social platform for learning cohorts as part of their guided learning journey to post on discussion boards, etc.

We use Cornerstone to manage our learning, both for compliance and training purposes, and to handle our continuous feedback performance module. Cornerstone is used by all employees at our organization for various reasons, though continuing education is the most popular reason for use. It makes tracking training simple and has streamlined training processes for several of our teams.

Our organization uses Cornerstone OnDemand enterprise-wide to create one unified space where employees can go for learning, performance, resources, and online forms. We have created custom electronic forms with workflows to eliminate a lot of our paper HR processes as well as tracking and reporting on performance and learning. This tool is great because it can serve our employees across the world as well as those who are out on the street all day and only access via mobile.

We use Cornerstone OnDemand company-wide at UKG (formally Kronos). It's used for compliance training by our global HR and IT teams, company-wide training, down to team/department training. The system is leveraged to track progress on training and compliance and add in annual goals. We also use the system to provide soft skills training and development for our teams.

We are using CSOD across the entire organization and have decentralized so that each division may use customized features applicable to their needs. It addresses mainly delivery of training, reporting and compliance. I personally am a fan for its reporting capability. I find it to be superior than the other Learning Management Systems I've used or received demos with.

We use Cornerstone OnDemand for our Performance Management System and Learning Management System, as well as Content Anytime to enrich our educational opportunities for employees. Performance Check-Ins supports our rating-less continuous performance feedback process, and allows employees and managers a simple way to stay on track and connected with each other in achieving goals and progress. The LMS and Content Anytime allows us to support the high expectations for our continuous learning environment in developing strong, savvy, emotionally and culturally intelligent employees. This keeps our organization innovative, progressive, and best able to serve our mission and the people we serve. The better we are, the more we can help.

We use it across our entire organization in all departments. I work within the Learning platform, however, we also utilize the Recruiting and Performance platforms as well. Within Learning, we heavily rely on the system to push compliance training and others alike. Additionally, we have created hundreds of in-house training which are included in our new hire training.

Cornerstone is in use for Learning, Performance, Succession & Recruiting. We started to use it in Germany and will also implement it at other locations and countries in Europe. Cornerstone will slowly replace other HR software we are currently using so that we hopefully will only have one HR software in the future.

Cornerstone OnDemand is being used by our entire system of over 40,000 employees and contractors. It is both our learning management system and our learning experience platform. Being in healthcare, we need to make sure all of our employees are compliant, but in addition to compliance we are using Cornerstone OnDemand to ensure that our employees have the tools and resources they need to succeed in a constantly changing environment.

Cornerstone On Demand is our main Learning Management System.

At our organization Cornerstone is used as a global user learning tool. Training objects are made available to users based on their location and functional role within the organization.
