Customize Cornerstone Galaxy to Match Your HR Strategy

Cornerstone Galaxy brings AI into the flow of work. It helps teams move faster, learn smarter and adapt to change. But out of the box, it doesn’t reflect your brand, your goals or the way your people learn. And it doesn’t fully support your HR strategy. That’s where we come in. We help HR teams take control of the experience, redesign key pages, personalise learning journeys and build on Galaxy’s smart features to match your strategy.

Build a Better Experience Inside Cornerstone CSX

Cornerstone Galaxy gives you the platform. But the experience out of the box doesn’t always match how your teams actually work. Pages can feel cluttered. Key content gets buried. Branding is limited. And even small updates often need someone technical.

That’s where customization comes in. Whether you’re focused on learning and development, performance and talent, or HR and content management, we help you shape the experience around your people, your structure and your goals.

You can simplify navigation, surface the right information and make Galaxy work the way you work. It’s still Galaxy. Now it’s set up for you.

Simplify what matters. Amplify what works.

Strengthen the Core of Your HR Strategy in Galaxy

HR strategies rely on a few essentials: learning, performance and access to the right information. Galaxy brings them all together in one place. Skills development, onboarding, compliance, succession, mobility. It’s all there. But with so much functionality in one platform, the experience can easily get noisy.

When priorities aren’t clear, people miss what matters. Content feels scattered. Goals blur. And your strategy doesn’t show up where it counts.

Structure changes that. With the right setup, your teams see what’s relevant when they need it. Managers stay focused. Employees grow with more clarity and fewer blockers. It’s not about changing what Galaxy offers. It’s about helping it work better for the people who use it every day.

Learning and Development

Support skills growth, onboarding and compliance with journeys that feel clear and easy to follow. Highlight the programs that matter and cut through the clutter.

Performance and Talent Management

Make goals, feedback and development easier to track. Help managers and employees focus on growth and succession without adding more to their plate.

HR and Content Management

Put key updates, documents and HR resources front and centre. Keep them relevant, timely and tailored by audience, location or language.

How Galaxy Supports the Most Important Areas of HR

Galaxy helps your organisation grow a strong learning culture. With tools that support structured learning, engaging experiences and extended enterprise training, it gives you what you need to build programmes that drive growth, development and connection.
Set the tone from the start
Welcome Page

The Welcome Page is the first thing employees see in Galaxy. It’s where you set the tone, offer support and help people feel at home from day one. With the right setup, it’s not just a message. It’s a page that people rely on.

By default, Cornerstone shows the same version to everyone. We help you take it further. Create custom experiences by role or group. Add smart features that guide and support based on role or timing. Make this the page people look forward to opening.

Learner Home

The Learner Home is one of the most visited pages in Galaxy. But when it’s not designed with your people in mind, it can feel cluttered and hard to use. We help you make it clear, inviting and easy to explore.

This becomes a space where curiosity drives learning. With features like Subjects and AI-supported suggestions, learners can shape their own experience. Every layout is tailored to your structure and feels built just for your team.

Keep learning focused and relevant to each person’s role or journey.

Link content to growth

Use badges, To-Dos and progress stats to show what’s done and what to focus on next.

Career Site & Talent Pages

Career growth starts with visibility. Whether you’re hiring externally or supporting internal mobility, your career site should do more than list open roles. It should show people why they belong. We help you shape a space that reflects your culture and inspires ambition.

Your Cornerstone Galaxy Customisation Journey

How it works

Whether you’re updating one page or rethinking the entire platform, your customisation journey starts with a clear plan. The process stays focused, collaborative and aligned with your strategy from day one.

Design & Build
This is where ideas turn into something real. We design and develop your custom pages, flows or components. You’ll see concepts early, share feedback as we go and stay in the loop at every stage.

Review & Launch
Once everything is in place, we test together, make final adjustments and support your go-live. After launch, we’re still here if you want to evolve your setup or build on what’s already working.
