Maersk to deploy Cornerstone Learning and Cornerstone Connect across
89,000 global employees to promote collaborative learning
Cornerstone
OnDemand (NASDAQ: CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based talent
management software solutions, today announced that Maersk, a
worldwide conglomerate in transportation and energy, has selected
Cornerstone’s learning management system (LMS), Cornerstone Learning,
and Cornerstone Connect, Cornerstone’s social collaboration application,
to deliver learning and development and ensure compliance across its
organisation. The agreement, which was signed in fall 2015, provides
Maersk with solutions to help their employees access important training
courses and collaborate with their peers, no matter their location or
network connection, via mobile, collaborative and offline learning
capabilities.
Maersk employs more than 89,000 employees – many of whom work remotely
or in the field – across 130 countries. Maersk is involved in a wide
range of activities in the shipping, logistics, and oil and gas
industries, and it is considered one of the largest container ship and
supply vessel operators in the world.
With such a large workforce spanning multiple industries, Maersk was in
search of a modern LMS that would not only be cost effective but that
would also serve several business needs. By implementing Cornerstone
Learning and Cornerstone
Connect, Maersk will be able to:
-
Engage its workforce and enable anytime, anywhere learning. Whether
in an office or on an oil rig, Maersk’s employees will be able to
access necessary training and collaborate with their peers through
Cornerstone’s mobile, offline and collaborative
learning capabilities. Maersk will be able to deliver blended
learning opportunities across its organisation, from instructor-led
training, e-learning and virtual learning opportunities, to
certifications and compliance, via one centralised system. The
additional use of Connect will enable Maersk to facilitate true
knowledge sharing within the organisation, where employees can submit
their own content, learn best practices and teach each other through
instructional videos.
-
Ensure employee compliance. As an organisation operating in
highly-regulated industries such as transportation and energy, it is
imperative for Maersk’s HR and business leaders to have visibility
across the organisation for compliance reporting. Cornerstone’s
cloud-based software allows managers to instantly determine which
employees are in compliance and take swift action with those who are
at risk of non-compliance.
-
Accelerate employee performance. Maersk will be able to boost
employee productivity by offering its workforce the ability to access
a cohesive learning experience from any mobile device, whether online
or offline, with a much more intuitive user interface than Maersk’s
prior LMS. This will help foster a culture where employees not only
complete their assigned training in time, but also actively seek
relevant learning courses and materials on an ongoing basis to advance
their own careers.
Comments on the News
“We knew we needed a modern, robust system to manage our people, and it
was important to us to have a system that promoted collaboration through
learning,” said Mads Ingholt, head of leadership development at
Maersk. “Additionally, offline learning through Cornerstone will allow
our remote workforce to complete training and compliance certifications
in locations like oil rigs, while our flexible workforce can train on a
smartphone from home or any location. Cornerstone Learning will make it
convenient and simple for our employees to continue to develop
professionally and stay up-to-date with training and compliance.”
“We’re thrilled to offer Maersk comprehensive learning and development
solutions that will enable them to help their employees realise their
potential,” said Vincent Belliveau, executive vice president and general
manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Cornerstone OnDemand.
“We’re firm believers in the value of collaborative, mobile and offline
learning as part of an overall blended learning strategy. Many of our
clients who have taken a similar approach with their learning strategies
have seen impressive results in terms of better employee engagement and
an overall more productive workforce.”
