"Cornerstone Performance & Compensation Management"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Cornerstone Performance?

We migrated to Cornerstone's performance management tool from a home grown system. We appreciate the support Cornerstone provides along with the ability for our employees to access their performance information year round. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Performance?

In addition to performance reviews, we are utilizing compensation management. The tool is clunky, especially if a leader supports more than one business area / function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Performance:

You will need to understand the level of support required for your organization. Many activities are now with third parties (e.g., Bluewater) and it can be difficult to work through what is actually needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

With our previous home grown tool, individuals only accessed it twice a year, when we pushed it out to them. With Cornerstone, our employees and leaders can access performance information year round. It has also given our leadership better insight into what their management teams truly view as successes and issues within the greater team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cornerstone Performance Review =Success"

5/5

What do you like best about Cornerstone Performance?

The performance review is is easy to use for the end user. The setup allows everything to be customized for you company. The goals can be brought into the review making the end user experience easy to complete their review. The comments left in goals can be easily viewed and so can check-ins. This make the end user experience even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Performance?

The admin setup is not as user friendly but with the pilot site you can easily test your setup before making it live in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Performance:

Make sure to have your implementation team help you with the initial set up to the fullest extent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is the first year I am having employees select goals they entered to be brought into the performance review. This will be an excellent experience for the employees as they do not have the hassle of starting the self-review from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable, lots of features, simplifies the old paper review process"

5/5

What do you like best about Cornerstone Performance?

When we were going through implementation there was literally never a time we were told "No Cornerstone can't do that." Everything we needed it to do, could be done and I loved that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Performance?

I do think learning the system as a SuperAdmin is challenging, but once you get do learn it, it's manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our old system made tracking the status of where a person was in the review process impossible to determine. Our old system had extremely poor reporting capabilities and made managing the review process cumbersome if not impossible. We also had a terrible time managing manager changes, i.e. if a manager left in the middle of the review process, or if there was a manager change, our old system simply could not handle that issue. Cornerstone has solved all of these problems for us. They are no longer issues at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cornerstone Performance - Easy to Use and Report On"

5/5

What do you like best about Cornerstone Performance?

The system can be configured to provide a rating or not. As more and more companies are moving away from performance ratings, this is a great option! What do I like best?

- The ability to assign a rating-less task

- Specific step due dates with reminder emails

- The ability to see previous quarter comments for the year in a read only field on the review - very handy for employees and managers

- All fields are reportable, so easy to build reports and dashboards that are step specific by organizational unit Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Performance?

Two things:

- I cannot add a user back into the task that has dropped out due to a coding error on our end. It seems we should be able to do this instead of calling GPS to have the person and their review progress restored to the task (GPS has always accommodated the requests very quickly, but would be nice to be able to do this myself)

- The inability to change due dates for individual steps for all users once the task has been assigned. Currently this has to be done one at a time. This was an issue for us this past quarter as COVID-19 played havoc with work schedules and arrangements. Instead of manually going into each person, which would have taken many hours, we sent a communication to all that they could complete the task for 15 days after the original due date, and they would still receive the original reminder emails (custom). However, that caused some issue and confusion, particularly for the employee self task that had been set to not allow submissions after the due date - managers, or me, had to reopen the step for their employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have used Cornerstone Performance for years and have always found it to meet our needs. Last year, we redesigned our steps to remove the rating and include employee feedback. Employees now start and end the process. This has allowed us to move away from a review process that could cause a lot of angst for all as it was very focused on assessing performance and then assigning a label based on goal progress. It was very much a monologue as employees played no part in the process until the very end. Redesigning the steps has allowed us to move to a system that is a true holistic performance dialogue between employee and direct leader, with employees driving much of the conversation and their own development.

We can still track completion and have better data regarding employee performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect platform for us."

5/5

What do you like best about Cornerstone Performance?

I love the annual performance integration with the goal setting is the best. It made life so much easier when we implemented Cornerstone. It is easy to deploy and the emails are already built in to be triggered when we send out an assignment. Performance is so versatile and has so many customizable features. The integration with Learning is a huge help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cornerstone Performance?

We didn't know what we didn't know during implementation, so now we are updating our preferences along the way. I wish we would have had more input from other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Cornerstone Performance:

It is perfect to use with the Learning Platform. It is continually updating the technology for better performance. We have become very dependent on the platform as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Cornerstone Performance solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to streamline our internal Performance Management process Annual Performance Reviews (Rating) + Goal (Rating) = % of compensation/bonus. I have also utilized it for building our Succession matrix and our top talent pool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
