Cornerstone [onDemand] is currently our Learning Management System across the whole system. We use it to deploy large-scale compliance training to all employees. We also use it to offer general training via Linked In Learning, Skillsoft, and homegrown training courses. It has been successful in all of those areas.

The performance piece, formerly known as WingSpan does provide a host of options for overall employee performance management. It is being used across the entire organization. Having this tool available helps with employee development and increased productivity. When employees set goals and can monitor their progress towards achievement, they are more motivated to excel, in turn performing higher. Overall, it is a good tool for employee performance monitoring.

We have used Cornerstone to manage learning (since 2011) and recruiting since 2015 and are configuring others available modules. The learning module helps us to manage training expiration dates (mandatory by regulations/certification) and to provide e-learning to end users. Recruitment processes were not centralised but handled by individual business units via HR business partners. This resulted in varying recruitment standards across the company and inconsistent ways of working. Hiring requests were made via paper and had to be discussed at weekly meetings, with managers having to physically sign papers for recruitment approval. Luxair wanted to simplify and reduce HR administration to help the rest of the Luxair business better understand HR processes and to contribute to the overall efficiency of the company. We also wanted to improve our employer brand by using a modern and powerful website

We use Cornerstone Learning across our entire organization. We use it to implement training initiatives for things like safety, sales, leadership, and compliance. With 18,000 + employees, it is important for us to be able to track each individual's learning progress, and the Cornerstone LMS helps us with this business problem.

It is being used across the entire system of over 30,000 employees, vendors, and external consultants. We are beginning the process for the extended enterprise license in order to allow nonprofits to use our system for their needs. Cornerstone addresses the need for reporting, content, certifications, licensing credit hours, and a learning experience platform that entices users to take courses.

Cornerstone Learning is a very powerful and useful system with what seems like endless possibilities. I particularly love the customer success centre. This resource has been a lifesaver when navigating the new system. I feel Cornerstone does a great job of providing their customers with tons of resources and tools.

We use Cornerstone for the whole organization but only in Europe so far. However, we plan to also implement the system at our other subsidiaries in the world. Cornerstone helps us to manage recruiting, learning, performance, and succession in only one system instead of buying a system for recruiting, another system for learning, and so on.

Cornerstone OnDemand is being used by the entire organization to fulfill the growing learning needs of the company. The tool, while being a game-changer, has some archaic features which can potentially make it second best in comparison to several other competitors.

We use it to register customers for instructor led courses, events that we have for our external customers as well. We also use it for storing their training records for any courses or certifications they have take thru us. We use it for signing up customers for virtual training via Zoom. We also have them take online courses. The product is also used for internal employees as well to get their much needed professional development hours.

We have tried and failed to use other platforms. Cornerstone has been a success! We love that they listen to users' feedback and are constantly innovating for the future of work. The LMS is easy to use and helps support our employees growth and development. There are endless sources of content which Cornerstone connects us with and our employees love. On the admin side the reporting capabilities is a great tool. We look forward to the future together.

In my organization, we use Cornerstone to roll out the performance for the year. We also use it for our in-house and LinkedIn learnings. For the learning, we have an integration with LinkedIn such that employees go into the LinkedIn courses and receive certificates, but through Cornerstone. We use Cornerstone for our recruitments

We have been using Cornerstone Learning since 2015. All students, staff, faculty, guests, and contractors can use it. Cornerstone has helped us reduce duplicate training, assign training to complex groups of people, deliver training easily and efficiently, report on compliance, easily use APIs, and make sure employees can continue their performance development.

We use Cornerstone OnDemand to help other non-profits grow their organizations and reach through the use of the Learning module. With the use of CSOD, non-profits are able to not only move their training programs online, but also reach more individuals since they are not limited to a certain region. We also utilize a robust Professional Development catalog that lets non-profits offer more training than before for their targeted users.

Cornerstone OnDemand is used by our organization on a business-wide level. This impacts all areas of the business. We are currently using Cornerstone OnDemand as a way to centralize our learning platforms. This solves the user experience for learning in the organization. We do not currently use it for much compliance training.
