Cornerstone OnDemand Launches Cornerstone Onboarding

 Cornerstone OnDemand, a leading cloud-based talent management software solutions provider, has announced the release of Cornerstone Onboarding, with features to provide personalized experiences for new hires that decrease time to productivity, increase employee engagement of new hires, and provider a deeper understanding of company culture. Cornerstone Onboarding delivers a unified approach to the welcoming process for improved collaboration between new employees, their coworkers, managers, and hiring teams.

The upcoming release, available in June 2014, comes with features including:

• Personalized welcome portals to engage new hires via social, self-service portals that provide company data, access to critical information, online courses, and a means for connecting with their team.

• Real-time task and training management for keeping track of the onboarding process, including time-to-productivity metrics with goal setting, reminders, milestone tracking, and progress reports.

• Centralized onboarding documentation that is generated, assigned, and routed from a central location. Future functionality which integrate the feature with eVerify and other services.

• Drive the engagement of new hires through established virtual communities and connections between new hires and their colleagues.

“For many organizations, the quality of the initial onboarding experience is the primary predictor of employee retention. In fact, research shows that roughly nine out of ten new hires fail because of poor engagement, rather than lack of skill, within the first 18 months,” Adam Miller, founder and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand, said. “Cornerstone Onboarding provides a unique approach to streamline the onboarding process and new hires in a company’s culture, connecting them with the right team members and giving them the information they need to be successful from Day One.”
