Cornerstone HR overview

What is Cornerstone HR?

Very few businesses operate from a single location. Remote employees and offices across time zones and countries mean multiple sets of regulations and employee datasets to manage. It is imperative that organizations get a global view of their employee data for more strategic planning against their business objectives. Cornerstone's HR suite is a flexible, cost-effective, alternative to rigid, expensive HR systems. Cornerstone HR manages all your global workforce data in one central location with robust administration, planning and visualization capabilities. Go live in a matter of weeks, at a fraction of the cost. Quickly get the answers your business needs to move forward.

Key benefits of using Cornerstone HR

  • Automate employee events: Save time on the processes for onboarding, offboarding, promotion requests, and more.

  • Enable data-driven decisions: Make strategic decisions with headcount analysis, point-in-time reporting, and other configurable reports.

  • Meet budget and talent goals: Create, manage, and execute detailed headcount plans with an intuitive platform.

  • Identify future leaders: Recognize your top talent and create self-driven growth opportunities to ensure their success at your organization.

  • Data from legacy systems, payroll, time and attendance, and other systems can be consolidated to give you an aggregated view of your employee data in a fraction of the time.

    “Something terrible is the administrator experience, the difficulty and clicks to configure something. Other platforms let you massively upload information, and a lot of Cornerstone doesn't.”
