Cornerstone OnDemand's succession management tools include the ability to produce highly graphical and interactive organizational charts that not only reflect the current hierarchy of your organization (or specific business units), but also allow for modeling potential changes within the hierarchy.
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.

People Finder
Work smarter by connecting with the right people, skills and interests across the organization
Today, information moves fast and changes daily. Being able to find people, expertise and experience on the fly is increasingly an important part of getting the job done in the modern workplace. Employees are also increasingly demanding new and more innovative ways to locate information and connect with colleagues.
People Finder allows users to quickly find co-workers on the basis of where they work, what they do, skills they possess, interests they've declared, and more. While viewing the search results, employees can immediately connect with others, send emails, or save the results as a working group or project team.
Cornerstone's People Finder gives your employees the tools they need to work smarter (and drives ongoing usage and adoption of the Cornerstone system).
Employee Recognition
The ability to provide continuous feedback with employees does not have to stop with the formal performance appraisal process. Increasingly organizations are deploying less formal types of employee recognition that can be driven by HR or by employees themselves.
Your organization can establish its own specific types of recognition. Maybe you only want to award a formal badge for a corporate-sanctioned "Employee of the Month" program. Or maybe you want to open it up and let all employees give out an informal "Pat on the Back" to any other employee for a recent working group experience. It's completely configurable.
Integrated Talent Management bridges the gap between employee development and performance to enable substantial improvement in organizational capability. Attend this webcast and learn how Cornerstone OnDemand for Sage HRMS can help you attract and retain the right talent.
