Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

We currently utilize the performance management tool, along with compensation management for all employees in our corporate and wholesale locations. We also utilize it for our management level positions and above in the US and Canada. By utilizing this tool, we are able to provide feedback in real time to our employees, instead of just twice a year.

We also utilize the learning management system for a very small (less than 200) retail population.
  • Deliver on-demand training.
  • Provide a way for Performance Improvement Plans to be easily tracked.
  • Provide us with the ability to give leaders insight into the merit increase process.
  • Cascading of the merit budget can be difficult when a leader has more than one function.
  • Unable to cleanly utilize the compensation tool if performance reviews do not have a score.
  • Any significant work must be done with a third party as Cornerstone no longer completes the work internally (e.g., file interfaces, significant reconfiguration of the tool).
  • Increased visibility by our leadership team into the performance review process and completion rates. Several leaders value the tool and have a modified mid-year check in.
  • Increased visibility by our leadership team with respect to their annual merit budget.
  • Increased engagement from our leadership team with respect to compensation adjustments.
The configuration within the performance review itself is straight forward and easily configurable. However, compensation management is quite difficult to configure.
Cornerstone was selected in 2014 based on its ease of use for both our HRIS team and end users. Cornerstone was engaged in our process from the beginning and provided value added recommendations as we moved from a home grown system to one that is fully supported in the cloud.
Cornerstone is well suited for organization with a straight forward structure. The LMS is still the primary focus and has quite a bit of support. While we have successfully utilized the performance management tool, the compensation management component is lacking.
