Cornerstone Accelerates Momentum in Content with Acquisition of Grovo
Deal Strengthens Cornerstone’s Content Anytime Offerings with the Leader in Modern Micro-Learning Training Content
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — November 7, 2018 – Cornerstone OnDemand (NASDAQ:CSOD), a global leader in cloud-based learning and human capital management software, today announced that the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Grovo Learning, Inc., the leading provider of micro-learning content for $24 million in an all-cash deal, subject to certain closing adjustments. The acquisition of Grovo is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Founded in 2010, Grovo has produced over 2,500 micro-learning courses across a range of topics. Grovo has over 300 clients, including Gap Inc., Hulu, Chevron and Wells Fargo, with offices in New York City and San Francisco.
“The acquisition of Grovo helps fulfill the vision we had on day one for Cornerstone to improve access to education on a global basis. As leaders in learning, we know that Grovo has some of the most innovative training content in the world,” said Adam Miller, Cornerstone’s founder and CEO. “United with our state-of-the-art Learning suite and our Content Anytime subscription offerings, the combination with Grovo places Cornerstone in a league of its own.”
In conjunction with this acquisition, Cornerstone also announced an expansion of its Content Anytime subscription offerings. Content Anytime is a content subscription service that enables organizations to provide their employees with fresh, modern content that puts them in control of their own career development. The subscriptions support all types of modern learning formats, from micro-learning (shorter, easily consumable courses) to macro-learning (deeper mastery of a subject or skill) to spaced-learning (courses broken into sections, with timed intervals for questioning in between). Cornerstone continually adds and refreshes course content by combining insights from nearly 20 years of learning and development expertise and the most in-demand, user-driven content recommendations informed by usage data and feedback from Cornerstone’s massive community.
Starting today, Cornerstone will offer a range of subscriptions beyond its popular Content Anytime Essentials offering, including thematic subscriptions for compliance and digital transformation, as well as regional subscriptions for France, Germany and Spain. Cornerstone expects to incorporate Grovo content across its Content Anytime subscription service.
Cornerstone will discuss the acquisition of Grovo on its third quarter 2018 earnings conference call scheduled for today.

Z一代招聘的6个关键因素
摩根士丹利刚刚成功改造了120万平方英尺的办公空间,以迎合其技术支持的Z世代员工队伍。这只是各种规模公司的最新例子,不仅仅是采用Z世代领导的工作场所,而且还在为此做点什么。虽然这是一项崇高的努力,但迎合Z世代的人应该在他们出现之前就开始了。事实上,如果您的招聘流程尚未成为“Gen Zized”,现在是时候重新评估它了。
在Oleeo和Universum的最新研究成果的推动下,下面是六个元素,这些元素将使Z世代招聘过程中得到证明。
自我营销。花时间和金钱让你的公司知道。在最近与Universum进行的一项研究中,将近一半(48%)的学生表示,如果他们对自己的了解不够,他们就不会选择雇主,如果他们认为雇主没有从他们那里招聘,就会推迟13%。学校。好消息是雇主品牌改革并非总是必要的。从小事做起,找到一些小方法 - 比如填充雇主网站,提供公平的职业信息 - 今天就可以到他们面前。
通过发展和收益提供增长。提供展示增长之路的路线图。在51%的选票中,选择雇主的最佳驱动因素是发展机会 - 而不是奖励套餐或桌上足球桌。未来的收益也排在榜单的前列。如果你的组织还没有为年轻人招聘职业道路,那么现在是时候开发一个了。
工作/生活平衡与安全/稳定性。被确定为商科学生的两大职业目标,最好的竞争优势是提供两者。如果您还没有尝试过灵活的工作安排,那么现在可能是试点工作的好时机。
机会。为国际组织工作或为私营国有公司工作是学生毕业后想要去的最佳选择。最重要的是,他们希望在一个不会回避让他们伸展自己的能力和实验的环境中 - 无论是新角色,新地理位置还是组织内的新机会。虽然一些更成熟的公司有正式轮换计划,但也许您可以确定一种更具可扩展性的方法。
多样化的环境。多样性起着重要作用,并且有许多技术支持的解决方案可以帮助确保您从一开始就投入更广泛的网络。或许可以在年底前演示两到三个,看看什么最适合您的组织。
社交媒体SAVVY。确保所有公司社交媒体渠道都是最新的,因为学生调查选定的社交媒体是最常用和最有效的沟通渠道。如果您尚未一直发布,请创建一个社交媒体内容日历,每周包含2-3个与工作场所相关的帖子。
Z世代不再处于劳动力的边缘,因此现代化不再是可选的。
