Kelly Services Deploys Cornerstone OnDemand's Integrated Talent
Management Suite to Nearly 659,000 Users Worldwide
Estimated to be the largest SaaS deployment, Kelly Services is using
Cornerstone's comprehensive suite to manage and develop its temporary
and full-time employees
Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. today announced that Kelly Services, a world
leader in workforce management services and human resources solutions,
is deploying Cornerstone's integrated learning and talent management
software suite to nearly 659,000 employees worldwide, including
temporary professional employees and full-time employees. Cornerstone
estimates it is the largest global implementation to date of a
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. Kelly Services will use the
suite - including platforms for onboarding, learning, performance,
succession, compensation and extended enterprise - to manage and
develop its temporary and full-time employees on a global basis.
Kelly Services maintains its leadership position based on its core
value of investing in people. This applies to its 650,000 temporary
professional staffers placed with Kelly's clients, as well as its 8,900
field and corporate employees. When the company's Global Learning team
sought to update its legacy Learning Management System (LMS), they saw
an opportunity to partner more closely with other human resource (HR)
functions within the company and select an integrated application
platform to meet all of their needs. This would provide the
organization with more insight into its workforce and allow them to be
more effective with their Human Capital Management initiatives.
Additionally, it would help to improve the candidate and employee
experience, leading to improved customer service.
"Cornerstone appealed to us because of the comprehensive functionality
and Software-as-a-Service delivery of its talent management suite, as
well as the cultural fit between the two organizations," said Allison
Kerska, Director of Global Learning for Kelly Services. "Providing
employees with easy, anytime/anywhere access to their learning and
career information was critical, and the ability to leverage online
forms has led to significant streamlining of employee compliance
processes. From a business perspective, Cornerstone's SaaS-based suite
offers a low cost of ownership, and it doesn't require additional
hardware investments or IT support."
Kelly Services also hopes to benefit from Cornerstone's customer-driven
innovation philosophy, providing input and ideas for new software
features and functionality as it evolves its own learning and talent
management strategy.
"The flexibility, scalability and configurability of Cornerstone's
on-demand learning and performance solutions simplify global
deployments for organizations such as Kelly Services," said Adam
Miller, President and CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. "And by taking
an integrated approach to managing and developing its employees, the
company will be able to derive more value and insight from its system,
resulting in happier employees and higher user engagement. We look
forward to continuing to be a trusted partner of Kelly Services and
supporting the success of its learning and talent management
initiatives."
