How We Got Here
Cornerstone started with a simple (but bold) idea – to improve access to education on a global basis through online learning. We were a tiny company back in 1999, with a different name, a single shared cordless phone, and a jarringly bright orange logo. But the seed was planted: we were off and running with the belief that ongoing learning and development are at the heart of how to be both a better individual and a better organisation.
In the past 15 years, Cornerstone has come a long way. We’ve got more than one phone now, for instance. But our heritage of focusing on the importance of learning has remained a constant. The Cornerstone Unified Talent Management suite addresses critical talent needs. It helps businesses find and attract the right people for the right roles and then makes sure they are onboarded in the most efficient and effective way possible. It helps organisations keep a better pulse on employee performance and ensure readiness for new roles. It helps to connect employees and locate expertise so that people can do their jobs better in any given moment.
Our mission has always been to improve access to education on a global basis through online learning.But the thread that connects these central HR processes continues to be learning and development. It is the glue that holds talent management together, and it’s the step that makes so many other HR processes actionable in the real world. Learning makes onboarding more impactful. Training makes performance management actionable. Development drives people to the right roles in the organisation. And social learning occurs every day in every workplace around the world.
