Cornerstone to support B&Q owner to develop over 80,000 employees

Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc., a leader in learning and talent experience solutions, today announced that Kingfisher plc, an international home improvement organisation, is leveraging Cornerstone’s leading Learning and Performance management solutions to help connect employee goals with business outcomes and power a future-ready workforce.

With over 2,000 stores and over 80,000 employees, Kingfisher operates in eight countries across Europe under well-known retail banners including B&Q, Screwfix, Castorama, Brico Dépôt, TradePoint and Koçtaş.

Cornerstone’s AI-powered learning and talent solutions will enable Kingfisher to deliver modern learning at scale, ensure compliance, adhere to local legislation and optimise continuous talent development, ensuring their colleagues are engaged, fulfilled and able to realise their full potential.

A key benefit for Kingfisher is that both Cornerstone Learning and Performance are incorporated into the same organic solution without the need for bolt-on technologies or workarounds.

“Learning and performance play a vital role in achieving our strategic objectives, and as a multinational organisation with teams across multiple countries, our challenge lies in enabling agility across our entire Group.

We needed a world-class talent management solution that would allow our people to benefit from a single, Group-wide platform, with the flexibility to manage and encourage talent development in a way that makes sense for each individual. We’re excited to be working with Cornerstone,” said Kate Seljeflot, Chief People Officer at Kingfisher.

“As the landscape of business and talent continues to shift, it is absolutely vital that we navigate this transformative journey alongside our customers, supporting both their corporate priorities whilst at the same time offering a personalised and tailored experience for each individual colleague. We are proud to support Kingfisher in realising their vision and success, both in the present and into the future, leveraging our talent experience platform across their retail banners and geographies,” said Vincent Belliveau, Chief International Officer at Cornerstone.
