New analytics applications apply sophisticated data science and machine learning to help organisations more efficiently and effectively manage their people
LONDON & SANTA MONICA, Calif. — May 10, 2016 — Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ:CSOD), the global leader in cloud-based talent management software solutions, today announced the launch of its suite of people analytics products, all of which are available today. This includes the introduction of Cornerstone View, an interactive data visualisation application that gives business leaders deeper intelligence about their people, as well as Cornerstone Planning, an intuitive workforce planning application that helps organisations easily create, manage and execute accurate hiring plans over multiple time horizons. The company also added two new dashboards to Cornerstone Insights, its predictive and prescriptive analytics solution that equips business leaders with the intelligence to better recruit, train, manage and develop their people.
Cornerstone’s portfolio of analytics offerings applies sophisticated data science and the most refined machine learning system for talent management to help organisations harness the power of real-time people data. The Cornerstone Analytics suite is built on top of the world’s largest network of shared talent data, representing more than 16 years of workforce management activity across 25 million users globally, nearly 2,700 organisations across all industries and seven talent management dimensions –recruiting, onboarding, training and development, performance management, compensation management, succession planning and workplace collaboration.
By unlocking four types of data analytics – descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive – Cornerstone enables organisations to make smarter, data-driven talent decisions and maximise business objectives through their people, removing the reliance on guesswork and intuition. The Cornerstone Analytics suite also includes Cornerstone Reporting, a set of self-service reporting tools and visually rich dashboards, allowing for complete control of, and visibility into, Cornerstone system data.
New Ways to Unlock the Value of Workforce Data
The new additions to Cornerstone’s analytics suite give organisations even more options for viewing, understanding and acting on talent data across the entire employee lifecycle.
- Cornerstone View. Cornerstone View provides the fastest and simplest way for organisations to gain more meaningful insight into their employees and solve complex workforce issues. Interactive data visualisation tools allow managers to easily search, filter and compare people by centralising information from across the Cornerstone unified talent management suite. For example, users can find the right candidate to fill a position, select high potential employees for succession, and quickly compare succession metrics and performance reviews across select employees to reveal meaningful insights about talent pools. Filters also allow for a snapshot of employees across multiple categories such as location, division, performance and tenure.
- Cornerstone Planning. With Cornerstone Planning, organisations can improve the effectiveness of their workforce planning, from filling positions quickly and effectively, to hiring employees with the right skills to succeed. Users can easily create, manage and execute accurate headcount plans through a simple and intuitive design. Cornerstone Planning also helps users align finance budgets with HR’s workforce plan to generate forecasts, visualise cost impact and identify future talent gaps for meeting business goals. In addition, users can prepare and plan for company challenges, resource availability and goal achievement.
- Cornerstone Insights. Cornerstone Insights offers a variety of dashboards that help organisations discover actions for optimising talent processes, simulate scenarios to view the impact of these actions and make prescriptive recommendations to address specific business challenges. The new Career Mobility Insight dashboard helps managers gain a better understanding of both traditional and non-traditional career path movement and the factors that contribute to optimal career mobility. The new Learning Optimisation Insight dashboard identifies factors and simulates actions that drive course registrations and completions.
