Commissioned Study measures the potential ROI of a workforce agility strategy with Cornerstone Galaxy

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – October 8, 2024 – Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., a leader in workforce agility solutions, today announced the release of a newly commissioned study, conducted by Forrester Consulting, ‘The Total Economic Impact™ of Cornerstone Galaxy .’ The study found a potential 443% return on investment (ROI) for customers who adopted Cornerstone Galaxy, based on a composite organization, based on multiple customer interviews with 5,500 employees and revenue of more than $1 billion per year.

The Forrester study stated that, “After investing in Cornerstone Galaxy, interviewees described a significant transformation in how their organizations managed learning, talent development, and their ability to bridge the workforce readiness gap. The workforce readiness gap is created because the ability of a workforce to adapt to change is out of sync with the pace of that change. This gap impacts organizations through challenges to skills, employee expectations, and data visibility. Key results from investing in Cornerstone Galaxy include streamlined administrative processes, increased internal mobility, and improved employee engagement and retention through more personalized learning pathways. Additionally, organizations saw reductions in compliance risks and improved recruitment efficiency, leading to substantial cost savings.”

According to Forrester, key quantified benefits to the composite organization from implementing Cornerstone Galaxy include:

The study also noted, “Interviewees said that prior to using Cornerstone Galaxy, their organizations relied on fragmented systems for learning, talent management, and recruitment, leading to disjointed processes and multiple inefficiencies. Their approach before using Cornerstone Galaxy caused challenges such as cost inefficient operating models, decentralized administration, a lack of visibility into workforce skills, inconsistent onboarding, and ineffective content curation.”
