Prepared managers. Engaged employees. Ready organization.

Cornerstone Performance is part of Cornerstone talent development, a connected suite that brings together performance, development plans, goals, internal mobility, and succession planning in one system. Organizations looking for deeper workforce intelligence across systems can extend further with Intelligence+ or bring performance context into Microsoft 365 CoPilot and other AI assistants with Cornerstone Embedded Work.

Yes. Cornerstone Performance works alongside Intelligence+ for organizations that want to connect performance signals with broader workforce data, including skills detected from work activity, labor market intelligence, and data from existing HR systems. Intelligence+ unlocks the Cornerstone People Graph™, which powers deeper successor recommendations, skills insights, and workforce planning beyond what performance data alone can surface.

Yes. Managers get AI-powered review preparation, structured coaching prompts, and real-time visibility into team development momentum. HR teams get analytics that surface workforce trends, skills gaps, and program effectiveness, supporting both day-to-day management and long-term talent strategy.

Cornerstone Performance allows organizations to align individual, team, and organizational goals in one connected system. Employees can set goals tied to real skills and aspirational roles, managers can track progress in real time, and every goal connects back to business objectives so alignment is continuous, not just a once-a-year exercise.

Cornerstone Performance includes structured check-ins, continuous feedback, and AI-generated summaries that keep managers and employees aligned between formal reviews. Feedback is specific, timely, and connected to goals and development plans, creating a culture of ongoing growth rather than point-in-time evaluation.

Yes. Cornerstone Performance is highly configurable. Organizations can tailor review cycles, goal frameworks, feedback structures, competency models, and reporting to align with specific business needs, industry requirements, and workforce structures.

No. Cornerstone Performance is designed to deliver value before your data is perfect. The Skills Profile and Skills Wizard [PL15.1]can infer skills from job titles, transcripts, and existing role data so teams can start with check-ins, goals, and performance conversations while refining their skills model over time. Most organizations begin with the workflows that matter most and mature their data strategy as they go.

Yes. Cornerstone Performance is designed to layer onto existing HR systems like Workday, UKG, and SAP rather than replace them. Goals, check-ins, development plans, and skills data live in Cornerstone while core HR data stays in your system of record. Cornerstone Extend™ handles the integration so teams get a unified talent experience without a disruptive migration.

Yes. With Cornerstone Embedded Work, an add-on that surfaces Cornerstone data inside the AI assistants your organization already uses. So now a manager preparing for a one-to-one can ask their assistant for an employee's goals, check-in history, and review context and get an answer grounded in real Cornerstone data, without opening a separate system. Embedded Work is built on Model Context Protocol, an open standard, so there's no UI migration, no change to your security model, and no new interface for managers to learn.

Yes. Cornerstone Performance supports data migration, including historical reviews, comments, and attachments, so your team doesn't lose critical context or compliance records when making the switch. Your Cornerstone implementation team works with you on the data migration plan before you go live.

Most organizations see strong adoption within the first review cycle. Cornerstone Performance is intuitive for managers and employees, with mobile access, automated reminders, and AI-assisted workflows that reduce the administrative burden that causes low adoption in legacy systems.
