Beyond traditional training: How Cornerstone Learn is reshaping organizational learning

Imagine a global workforce spread across multiple continents, each region with its own distinct training needs and objectives. This was the challenge faced by Nestlé, the world’s largest food and beverage company. With over 273,000 employees, Nestlé needed to streamline its training efforts and provide accessible, high-quality learning experiences for all employees. By moving from classroom-based training to online, Nestlé empowered employees with personalized, flexible learning options that catered to individual development paths and roles.

As the demands of today’s work environment continue to evolve, so too must our approach to on-the-job learning. In fact, 94% of business leaders surveyed recognize that their learning technologies substantially influence organizational agility, underscoring the importance of modern platforms like Cornerstone Learn in driving adaptability and success.

The modern workforce is moving faster than ever, and productivity and innovation gaps are growing, slowing to levels not seen since 1947. Without the right skills and resources, your organization risks falling behind and struggling to stay competitive. Complicating matters further, emerging factors like climate risk and AI are transforming the regulatory landscape, increasing the potential for compliance issues, fines and reputational damage.

Whether you’re onboarding new hires, supporting lateral moves, or helping newly promoted employees hit the ground running, the pressure to ensure quick contributions is immense. That’s where Cornerstone Learn comes in — a robust learning platform that unifies diverse training approaches, delivering the exact content employees need, exactly when they need it.

For Nestlé, this meant shifting from traditional classroom-based learning to an agile, digital solution that catered to employees across various regions. With AI-powered recommendations, Cornerstone Learn delivers curated content for each employee’s role, ensuring your team stays productive, innovative and compliant. The right learning technology helps close compliance gaps and rapidly upskill employees to meet evolving regulations and business needs.

By orchestrating and managing training at scale, Cornerstone Learn enables organizations to stay compliant, avoid the costs of non-compliance, and empower subject matter experts to drive continuous improvement across the workforce.

Let’s face it: high performers leave when they don’t see growth opportunities. Lack of career growth is a major driver of disengagement and turnover. In a workforce spanning five generations and rapidly changing job roles, offering personalized learning paths is more important — and more challenging — than ever. Cornerstone Learn helps you create custom learning journeys that meet employees where they are, no matter what stage of their careers they’re in.

Providing personalized, accessible learning across various modalities — including award-winning content, collaborative learning, and immersive experiences — keeps employees engaged and reduces turnover. The stats speak for themselves: employees who invest 40 or more hours in learning each year are 39% more likely to stay. And with every employee retained, companies save an average of $4,700 in hiring costs. Cornerstone Learn supports employee-driven learning with AI-powered recommendations, making it easier for them to take charge of their own development.

Juggling multiple learning tools can be frustrating and time-consuming, leading to lower engagement and fragmented experiences. A disjointed learning tech ecosystem slows things down and complicates reporting and decision-making. That’s where Cornerstone Learn steps in — unifying all learning activities under one platform simplifies management and provides a single source of truth for all your data. The result? Higher engagement, streamlined operations, and better decisions to keep your learning programs on track.

As Dell Technologies put it, “Subject matter experts are creating, aggregating, compiling, and distributing content at capacities and speeds never before possible. We’ve seamlessly unified and scaled our learning infrastructure in lockstep with business needs, giving us both a competitive advantage and a significant reduction in complexity.”

By adopting a unified, configurable platform like Cornerstone Learn, you reduce the inefficiencies and frustrations that come with fragmented solutions. With AI-powered insights, you can make data-driven decisions that align learning experiences with what your employees need and want, all while cutting down the total cost of ownership. For example, 44% of CIOs report that their teams spend over half their time educating employees on new technologies, limiting their focus on innovation. Cornerstone Learn helps overcome these challenges, making learning more accessible and effective across your organization.

In a world where learning needs are constantly evolving, Cornerstone Learn provides a unified solution to help you stay ahead. By offering personalized and scalable learning experiences, it ensures you're not just meeting today’s demands — you're preparing your workforce for the challenges of tomorrow.
