Microsoft Viva Learning will meet people where they are, enabling users to access valuable learning content from Cornerstone in a single workflow, removing the friction of switching back and forth between learning platforms and Teams. Through the integration, employees will have the ability to share, assign and learn from content libraries directly from Teams.
Over the past year, Cornerstone has witnessed a notable upward trend in people taking online learning and development courses at work, including a 100% increase in mobile learning usage from March to May 2020. Encouraged by these customer insights from the Cornerstone People Research Lab that demonstrate the employee demand for flexibility to learn anywhere and anytime, Cornerstone is committed to further realizing the vision of making learning a natural part of their day.
“Skills are more important than ever in our rapidly changing business environment. With 77 percent of working adults looking to learn new skills now or retrain altogether, there is increased urgency in providing people with opportunities to be their best at work and achieve breakthrough business results,” said Heidi Spirgi, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at Cornerstone. “By integrating learning into the flow of work, Cornerstone and Microsoft are helping remove barriers and enabling organizations and their teams to access the power of truly connected employee experiences with learning at the core.”
