New social collaboration and mobile capabilities transform Cornerstone’s talent management suite into a centralized destination that facilitates the ways today’s employees want to work
SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 4, 2013 – Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ:CSOD) today announced new solutions that transform the Cornerstone talent management software suite into a single, collaborative destination for employees and facilitate the ways people want to work. This includes the introduction of Universal Profiles, which aggregates user information and activities from within the Cornerstone system; a new, completely redesigned Cornerstone Connect social collaboration platform; new social performance and employee recognition tools; and expanded native mobile functionality across the suite.
The consumerization of the enterprise and rise of Millennials in the workforce have driven shifts in employees’ needs and attitudes, as evidenced by the increased prevalence of BYOD (bring your own device) and BYOA (bring your own application) in the workplace. In addition, the workplace is becoming multi-generational, multi-geographical, multi-cultural, location-agnostic and device-independent.
“We saw an opportunity to reimagine work by combining all of the enterprise-class talent management capabilities that organizations require with the collaborative functionality employees want, all packaged in an easy-to-use, consumer-style interface,” said Adam Miller, founder and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand. “Individual applications for things like social collaboration and project management have limited, if any, integration with other enterprise software solutions. So while they may allow employees to perform basic tasks, they ultimately lack the ability to have a bigger impact on the business. We solved that problem.”
For talent management leaders, the changes in the workplace are further complicated by a workforce that not only demands flexibility in where and how they work, but one that also wants continuous training and development, faster career progression, and constant feedback and recognition.
“The right approach to talent management is as critical as ever to making sure organizations are ready to support the new world of work,” said Miller. “This means creating a work environment where employees are given easy access to the resources they need to develop, collaborate, advance and be engaged in their jobs in order to perform at their very best.”
Available this month, Cornerstone’s new features and enhancements help to ensure that social collaboration and mobile productivity are central building blocks for an organization’s overall talent management strategy. Putting everything employees need to know to do their jobs in one, always-available place with real-time connectivity not only helps people work smarter, but also helps organizations maximize work performance and improve employee engagement.
Key to this approach is the new Universal Profile. Similar to a personal profile from popular social sites, Universal Profile serves as the center of an employee’s universe within the Cornerstone suite. It offers a consolidated view of personal information such as contact details, work experience, skills and expertise, and activities in the Cornerstone system. It also serves as an access point for connecting with colleagues, completing tasks, searching for subject matter experts, and giving and receiving social feedback.
Additional product updates include:
· Cornerstone Connect. An all-new, completely redesigned Cornerstone Connect takes social productivity to the next level. Connect is the only social business solution that embeds activity streams and real-time collaboration within a talent management application, enabling talent activities to naturally blend with the daily activities of executives, managers and employees.
· Project and Task Management. Employees now have the most resourceful tools for accomplishing tasks, projects and goals, all seamlessly embedded within Cornerstone talent activities for learning, performance, succession and recruiting.
· Social Performance and Feedback. Trigger the right employee behaviors with measurable recognition that drives results on a daily basis. With social feedback, employees have the power to provide feedback and badges to their peers and colleagues for work contributions. It’s an immediate and impactful way to reward work beyond annual performance reviews.
· Cornerstone Mobile extends its native functionality to provide employees with access to mobile learning, collaboration and performance on the devices they love. This includes a mobile version of Cornerstone’s popular Observation Checklist for tracking real-time competencies and skills in the field, as they are performed. Cornerstone Mobile supports all iOS and Android devices, including smartphones and tablets, ensuring that employees at all levels have access to the people and information they need to succeed, no matter where they are.
Miller will showcase these new solutions as part of his opening keynote address at Cornerstone Convergence 2013, the company’s annual client conference, which is being held June 3-5 in San Diego, Calif. The keynote will be streamed live via the Cornerstone Convergence Web the site this morning from 8:30 – 10:30 a.m. PT / 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. ET at the following link:www.cornerstoneconvergence.com/live-stream.

The winners were announced at Informatica World 2013, Informatica’s annual data integration showcase and user conference, which took place at the ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.
The UltiPro Carrier Network enables data exchange using pre-built ‘connectors’ between UltiPro, Ultimate’s cloud-based human capital management solution, and third-party benefits providers. The UltiPro Carrier Network delivers an extensive catalog of configurable templates for connecting to commonly used providers in the marketplace without the burden of having to build and support custom integrations. Ultimate Software has already seen significant business benefits from the UltiPro Carrier Network, including cutting integration project duration times by 50%, reducing technical debt, and increasing customer satisfaction.
The Informatica Innovation Awards honor organizations that have achieved exemplary return on data through their use of the Informatica platform and demonstrated leadership in using Informatica solutions to drive business success. Results include new revenues at lower cost, forging stronger and more profitable customer relationships, ensuring competitive differentiation for the business, and more.
“Using Informatica’s leading data-integration technology, the UltiPro Carrier Network delivers a better, more efficient experience for our customers,” said Bill Hicks, chief information officer at Ultimate Software. “Ultimate believes in creating a technology experience driven by the needs of people, and Informatica’s technology is helping us achieve this. We are pleased to have Informatica as our partner and extremely honored to have received this recognition.”
Individual winners were selected from Informatica’s more than 5,000 customers and recognized in 11 award categories. Some categories include B2B Data Exchange, Enterprise Data Integration, Data Quality, Master Data Management, and Cloud Integration. All recipients of the 2013 Informatica Innovation Awards include can be viewed in Informatica’s press release: www.informatica.com/us/company/news-and-events-calendar/press-releases/06062013-innovationawards.aspx
“Informatica has been a great partner to Ultimate Software throughout this initiative, and we plan to extend the relationship by delivering additional packaged templates to our customers for connections to more third-party applications,” said Hicks. “Informatica and Ultimate have a mutual goal — to help businesses better serve their own people by choosing providers based on the unique needs of their organization rather than having to adapt their business to work around technology hurdles. This award affirms the value of our partnership, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship in the in future.”

Peoplefluent Unveils TalentUnity, a New Workforce Acquisition Solution Giving Companies Unparalleled Access to Talent Pools to Support Strategic Hiring Decisions
Peoplefluent TalentUnity Combines Recruiting and Contingent Sourcing Workflows to Enable Holistic Talent Acquisition
WALTHAM, Mass. – May 30, 2013 – Peoplefluent®, a leading social human capital management technology company, today announced Peoplefluent TalentUnity® , an enhanced version of its recruiting and contingent workforce management solutions. The unified solution combines common recruitment and contingent sourcing workflows into a single interface, giving business managers, HR professionals, and internal and external recruiters unparalleled access to a total workforce talent pool to support strategic, cost-effective decisions.
Companies across the globe are under pressure to compete for the best talent to fill existing and future skill gaps. To do so, companies must have a holistic view of all active workforce talent pools available in order to fill positions that require specific, hard-to-find skill sets. Companies that have seamless access to prequalified prospects for temporary, part-time and full-time roles can make faster, smarter hiring decisions and gain a significant advantage in the battle for talent, which has significantly heightened over the past year. Peoplefluent TalentUnity empowers business managers, HR professionals and recruiters to identify, attract and onboard the best candidates, whether they join the team as hourly, salaried or contract.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity also includes common business intelligence and analytics, combining data from recruiting and contingent workforce management systems. This creates a single source for all reporting needs delivering total workforce visibility for HR, Procurement and Executive leadership, and providing insight to make key strategic decisions.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity changes the way companies acquire talent. It is the only solution to enable hiring decision managers to look across recruiting and contingent workforce solutions, which is particularly important in the following scenarios:
- Considering both contractor and full-time hire talent options: As workforce demands shift and more prospective employees prefer flexible employment, leveraging talent with specific skill sets on a contract basis could be strategic to a business’s bottom line as well as employee satisfaction. Peoplefluent TalentUnity enables companies to leverage vendor networks or talent pools to identify the best source of hire for a specific opening.
- Transitioning a contractor to full-time employee: At the conclusion of a contractor engagement, companies may have a business need to hire the contractor full time. Peoplefluent TalentUnity simplifies this transition by sharing contingent management information with the recruiting portal, saving HR professionals time and resources spent acquiring a new full-time hire and also streamlining the onboarding process.
- Direct Sourcing: By utilizing the capabilities provided by the recruiting solution, companies can capitalize on their corporate brand to attract talent for contingent opportunities. Peoplefluent TalentUnity lets companies leverage their career sites to post contingent opportunities which can lead to additional cost savings.
“Our clients, many companies within the Fortune 100, look to Peoplefluent for solutions that will enable their HR and procurement teams to make strategic talent acquisition decisions, better utilize human capital assets and unlock workers’ potential,” said Jim Bowley, vice president, product management, Peoplefluent. “Our investment to tightly integrate recruiting and vendor management processes and bring Peoplefluent TalentUnity to market was fueled by industry demand and customer feedback, which confirmed companies are looking for a solution that considers the total workforce, including services procurement and contingent labor management along with employee recruitment.”
Peoplefluent TalentUnity features common recruiting, applicant tracking, contingent workforce management and business intelligence with similar user interfaces to improve and simplify the user experience. As a solution that delivers a cohesive view into the recruiting pipeline, talent pools, preferred vendors and current contingent staff, Peoplefluent TalentUnity is unique among all other stand-alone talent acquisition and management products.
Peoplefluent TalentUnity is now available. For information on Peoplefluent’s talent acquisition products or any solutions within the Peoplefluent Social HCM Software Platform, please visit: http://www.peoplefluent.com/solutions/overview.

Comprehensive HR Platform Combines Hiring, Training and Scheduling for Restaurant Operations
PeopleMatter, the largest provider of comprehensive service-industry HR software, is shaking up how the foodservice industry schedules its workforce. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has made employee scheduling more complex. The ACA makes accurate hourly scheduling critical to the profits of the foodservice industry with the creation of “29er” employees and the “49er” employers. PeopleMatter offers the only online scheduling solution – PeopleMatter SCHEDULE™ – with a free employee mobile app that understands the importance of accurately tracking the hours worked across multiple locations in relation to these key thresholds. The PeopleMatter Platform does more than just scheduling – it is an end-to-end talent management system that helps find, hire, train and schedule the people of the service industry.
That’s why Jerry Roberts, Owner of Gator’s Dockside locations in Florida believes “it makes sense to take advantage of all the PeopleMatter products – HIRE, LEARN and SCHEDULE – since they were designed to work together.”
Today’s reality is that many restaurants still use paper and spreadsheets to schedule their employees. But the days of posting a paper copy of the schedule in the back of the house are over with SCHEDULE. PeopleMatter’s online employee scheduling software gives managers the tools to share schedules instantly with team members and optimize coverage as the week evolves.
“SCHEDULE is the wave of the future. Accessing a schedule via a smartphone is much more manageable for both the associates and managers,” shared Robert Fleming, Owner Magnolia Pancake Haus.
SCHEDULE makes it easy for team members to know when they are working. Employees no longer need to call their manager or go in on their day off to find out when they are working because their schedule is available on their mobile device.
“Automated scheduling is what today’s employees want,” said Marc Hinson, Director of HR for The Palm Restaurant Group. “Employees want to be connected to their employers with easy access to their schedules. They want to communicate with their managers through that same system. SCHEDULE does these things and more.”
PeopleMatter is currently highlighting SCHEDULE at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, IL. Show attendees who stop by the booth are able to receive live demos, interact with the mobile app, review case studies and hear live testimonials from PeopleMatter customers who use SCHEDULE every day to create, manage and communicate schedules.
“We have created a better way to manage frontline employees in the service industry,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter President and CEO. “We’ve built a modern, mobile scheduling tool in the PeopleMatter Platform that facilitates real-time communication, flexible shift management and cost-control. We did this because scheduling is such an important part of the relationship between the hourly worker and employer. With the recent legislative changes brought on by the ACA, it has become even more important to have technology to manage employee schedules.”

Skillsoft Marks 10th Anniversary of its Groundbreaking Learning Growth Model
If you are looking for a new Human Capital Management (HCM) System, don’t rely solely on “recommendations” or published reports. Do yourself a huge favor and talk to HRchitect first. After 16 years, HRchitect has unparalleled knowledge of the HCM vendor community and can save you time and money in selection and implementation. Simply put, do not invest in any kind of HR technology without consulting with the experts first. HRchitect is always available to help!
NASHUA, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Marking the 10-year anniversary of its Learning Growth Model®, Skillsoft introduced an updated whitepaper that illustrates the transformation of training into learning and includes the most recent innovations in the learning industry. Initially developed in 2003 to help organizations chart a realistic direction on their path to learning optimization, the five-stage model aligns learning with strategic business goals, leading to increased cost savings, productivity, performance, employee retention and competitive advantage. A new infographic was also developed that outlines the latest version of the Learning Growth Model and is available at: http://on.fb.me/14HOiic. Skillsoft is a pioneer in the field of technology-delivered learning with a long history of innovation and delivering solutions for its customers worldwide, ranging from global enterprises, government, and education to mid-sized and small businesses.
The Learning Growth Model is detailed in Skillsoft’s whitepaper, The Skillsoft Learning Growth Model: A Blueprint for Integrating Learning into the Life of the Enterprise in Five Manageable Stages. The whitepaper presents a clear business value for linking learning to organizational business goals to increase the value and impact of the learning program. Organizations can learn how to transform learning from skills-focused training to business-focused learning that aligns with strategic business goals and provides a greater business value. A key phase in this process is reaching strategic transformation, which is the minimal position for all organizations that seek to align learning to business goals and are focused on building the optimum transfer of learning into the workplace.
“Developing talent is an organizational imperative as the demand for innovative, leading edge talent is intensifying with no sign of slowing down. Industry experts estimate that 55-80 percent of what people learn is lost or not applied to the job. This puts pressure on organizations to justify the time and resources they dedicate to learning,” said John Ambrose, senior vice president, strategy, corporate development and emerging business, Skillsoft. “By closely correlating a learning program with tangible business goals, organizations can improve knowledge retention and document a return on their learning investment. Our whitepaper and infographic are excellent tools for guidance through this process, which transforms basic training into integrated learning.”
The five stages of the Skillsoft Learning Growth Model are:
Stage 1 – Supplement. In this stage, elearning is introduced to address scalability challenges and reduce costs. New elearning resources address a backlog of demand for skills-based training that could not be delivered via traditional methods due to high costs. Reduced travel costs, design and development costs, instructor time and learners’ time away from work all contribute to significant cost savings.
Stage 2 – Targeted. During stage two, targeted learning begins to support specific initiatives and job roles. This stage expands earlier results and provides elearning in new workplace areas. Elearning resources replace redundant classroom training, which further reduces learning costs. Executive support typically increases during this stage of the Learning Growth Model.
Stage 3 – Strategic. Learning is aligned to strategic business objectives and begins to connect to talent management to increase the value and impact of learning during stage three. This is the most pivotal stage in the Learning Growth Model and marks the transformation from skills-focused training to business-focused learning and is a major point of change into a new learning paradigm.
Stage 4 – Integrated. Stage four is marked by increasing talent and accelerating organizational agility. Organizations that reach this stage have successfully woven learning into the fabric of the organization. Learning is focused on accelerating business results, deepening the talent pool and creating an agile, empowering, productive and creative organization.
Stage 5 – Optimized. Organizations at the optimized stage have fully matured and are focused on deepening talent and broadening learning to the extended enterprise. Elearning is branched out to the organization’s supply chain, customers, etc. Learning has become globally ubiquitous and seamlessly integrates into the workplace.

MAD Greens — Inspired Eats, a fresh concept on salads based in Colorado, and PeopleMatter, the only comprehensive HR Platform designed for the service industry, recently released ROI results from their partnership in streaming the company’s HR processes. In July 2011, MAD Greens selected PeopleMatter’s automated tools to streamline the entire hiring process into one online Platform. In nine months, the company tracked a 50 percent reduction in manager time spend while increasing data accuracy and ensuring 100 percent compliance.
Prior to implementing PeopleMatter talent management solutions, MAD Greens used paper-based hiring. The growing company struggled to complete required paperwork in a timely fashion. With a small executive staff the greater challenge was ensuring accuracy while tracking requirements, deadlines and updates. With PeopleMatter in place, the restaurant chain could use one central, online location to input, process and store information.
“At MAD Greens, we all wear a lot of hats and it is hard to find time for everything,” said Marley Hodgson, MAD Greens CEO and co-founder. “Taking care of your staff is a full-time job but we don’t always have that luxury. PeopleMatter essentially acts like another team member and that’s critical.”
One of the staffing challenges MAD Greens faced early on was assessing applicants to ensure consistency in hiring decisions. It was a time issue, managers didn’t have time to do the process efficiently. The entire hiring and onboarding process could take up to two weeks. PeopleMatter HIRE™ cut the processing time down to three days and the managers’ time spent on hiring in half. The software also allows the “MAD” company to put a little of its culture into the online onboarding process. Hodgson actually took the time to film a welcoming video for employees to be introduced to the MAD Greens mission.
“It’s a consolidated Platform, helping increase operational efficiency and providing a place our company culture can reside as much as possible on the Internet,” said Hodgson. “It’s really nice when I walk in a store and a new hire says, ‘Hey, I just watched a video of you welcoming me.’”
For MAD Greens, the number one benefit from using PeopleMatter solutions is the accuracy of the data. The “scary proposition” of company audits are in the past. Now the simplicity of the Platform ensures that the restaurant chain’s information is 80 percent more accurate and in an easy-to-access location.
“The PeopleMatter Platform is designed well and clearly thought out,” said Hodgson. “Lots of systems say they are simple, this one actually is. And simplicity is where it is at in our business.”
“Working with exceptional people who believe in your corporate mission is what makes serving our clients so satisfying,” said Nate DaPore, PeopleMatter president and CEO. “MAD Greens is really using the software the way it is meant to be used.”
