• Create a new development plan on the fly directly from a succession planning scenario

Career Management

Cornerstone recognizes that many organizations today want to use technology, where appropriate, to turn push into pull – that is, empowering employees to take an active role in their career development within the organization. Career planning is shown to boost employee engagement and retention, and helps your business to align employees with the best-fit roles.

Integrated Talent Profiles

The Talent Profile functions as every employee's identification card, detailing user record information, performance ratings, succession management data, Cornerstone Connect activity, ad hoc manager comments, and more. Talent Profiles show up across the suite in important places where quick access to information is needed – for example, in performance reviews, organizational charts, succession planning, compensation planning, and user record editing.
