Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

User friendly and attractive website design.
It offers the ability to do online training, or also track face to face, on the job training.
It's continuously improving with new features to keep up with the growing demand for online learning.
Rather simple admin interface.

Some things are too intricate to set up. Emails, for example, are very time-intensive when you are trying to set up 20 reminder emails for training, and you have to do each one individually, instead of copying and pasting.
Missing functionality of being able to merge employee files, and include any documents you attached in one of the files. This is a big hardship for us.
I wish users could assign training using a checklist type page. Many people want to be able to assign things in bulk.

Return on Investment

Especially during the pandemic, we've been able to continue with training as usual because of the online training functionality our team members have grown accustomed to.
Our safety managers can audit our safety paperwork from anywhere in the country because of our on the job training tracking in Cornerstone.
We can get information to team members quickly with banner features of Learner Home.

Other Software Used

Vyond (formerly GoAnimate), Ceridian Dayforce

Product Configurability

Sometimes too extensive. Giving security permissions alone is something that takes almost years of experience to really nail.

Likelihood to Recommend

We are creating content like crazy and it's so nice to have a place where we can publish all videos and trainings with ease. People can look for what they need or what they want to assign with ease. Tracking and reporting analytics are also great and they are making great strides with their new Reporting 2.0 functionality. You cannot track to make sure videos are watched to the very end, which I feel would be helpful, especially compliance wise.

Cornerstone Helps us Track Training, even during a Pandemic!
