Customize Cornerstone Galaxy Like It Was Built for Your Team
Cornerstone Galaxy brings learning, performance, content, and AI into one powerful platform. But it’s not built to cover every organization’s needs out of the box. Features can be missing. Processes don’t always fit. And some things just aren’t there yet. Customization fills those gaps. Extend the platform, add what’s missing, and shape Cornerstone Galaxy around your team, your structure, and your goals.
Listen to the summary0:00 / 1:19“We help you customize Cornerstone Galaxy to match your HR strategy, simplify navigation, and build experiences that work the way your teams actually do.”
From Standard to Standout
Create a Custom-Fit Cornerstone Galaxy Setup
Explore the Galaxy
Cornerstone Galaxy brings learning, performance, content, and AI into one connected platform. Instead of switching between tools, everything sits in one place, giving HR teams a strong foundation to manage growth, engagement, and performance across the organization.
A Generic Setup in a Unique Organization
When everything sits in one platform, it can quickly become hard to navigate. Pages fill up, priorities compete for attention, and it’s not always clear where to start. At the same time, key features may be missing or not fully support how your teams actually work.
Built for Your Reality
This is where Galaxy becomes your platform. Pages reflect your brand, guide people through their day, and surface what matters most based on role, team, or location. Missing features and functionality can be added, extending the platform into something focused, personal, and built around how your team actually works.
Learning, Skills and Development
Turn learning into continuous growth. Combine structured learning, AI-driven recommendations, and skills data to guide people step by step. Make it clear what to focus on, how to grow, and how learning connects to real development instead of becoming just another library.
Performance, Growth and Internal Mobility
Bring performance and development into one connected flow. Link goals, feedback, and skills so managers and employees can take action, guide development, and support performance reviews, check-ins, and internal career moves instead of waiting for review cycles.
Content, Communication and Daily Experience
Make the platform part of everyday work. Share updates, surface content, and guide actions directly in the flow of work so people don’t have to search or switch between tools. Everything becomes easier to find, follow, and act on.
AI, Skills and Workforce Intelligence
Turn data into direction. Use AI and skills insights to identify skill gaps, understand workforce trends, and guide decisions across learning, performance, and workforce planning.
Learning, compliance, and development
Cornerstone Learn (CSX)
Cornerstone Learn is the foundation for learning inside Galaxy. It combines training, compliance, and development in one place, giving teams a clear way to build skills and move forward. From onboarding to advanced programs, it helps teams continuously learn across the organization.
Within Galaxy, it connects to skills, performance, and career growth, making it easier to see what matters and what comes next. With the right setup, it becomes something people rely on every day to learn and develop.
Structured Learning That Makes Sense
Create learning paths that reflect real roles and responsibilities. Guide people step by step with clear direction, so they always know what to focus on instead of figuring it out on their own.
Development That Connects to Growth
Link learning to skills, performance, and career development. Make it clear how progress today supports the next step, so learning becomes part of growth instead of a separate activity.
Learning That Fits Into Daily Work
Bring learning into the flow of work with focused pages, clear entry points, and relevant content. Remove friction so people can act, not just consume, so learning becomes part of the day instead of something extra.
Content, knowledge, and learning
Cornerstone EdCast (LXP)
Cornerstone EdCast brings together content, knowledge sharing, and learning into one experience. It helps people find what they need, when they need it, without relying only on assigned training or fixed paths.
Within Galaxy, it adds a more flexible layer. Learning becomes easier to explore, easier to share, and easier to return to, supporting both structured development and learning in the moment.
Stop Searching, Start Moving Forward
Reduce the effort to find the right content without endless searching. Surface relevant resources, highlight what matters, and guide people to take action instead of getting stuck in content overload.
Learn From Each Other
Turn knowledge sharing into part of everyday work. Highlight peer content, encourage contributions, and create a space where people learn from real experience, not just from courses.
Boost Employee Engagement
Bring interaction, communication, and communities into the platform. Encourage participation, spark conversations, and create an experience people return to because it keeps them connected and involved.
Features, flows, and flexibility
Push Past Platform Limits
Cornerstone Galaxy gives you a strong foundation. But not everything your organization needs is there out of the box. Certain features are missing, some processes don’t fit, and not every experience can be shaped the way you want.
This is where customization comes in. Extend the platform, connect what’s separate, and shape everything into one experience that works the way your organization actually operates.
Add the Missing Pieces
Add features that aren’t available out of the box. Think approval flows, guided processes, custom dashboards, or actions directly on the page. Cover use cases like onboarding, internal mobility, or compliance so the platform actually fits how your teams work.
Create One Connected Platform
Connect your HR systems, content, and data into one connected experience. Integrate tools like your HRIS, learning content, or internal systems so people can work without switching platforms or losing context.
Reflect Your Organization
Design pages, flows, and interactions that match your brand and structure. Create role-based views, localized content, and tailored experiences so each team sees what matters most for their daily work.
Support Performance and Growth
Create flows for performance reviews, check-ins, and development planning. Add dashboards, manager hubs, and approval actions so teams can track progress, guide conversations, and move development forward.
Build Career and Talent Experiences
Design career paths, internal mobility journeys, and career site experiences that make opportunities visible and easier to act on. Help people understand what’s next and take steps toward it directly in the platform.
Plan with Skills and Data
Use skills frameworks and workforce data to guide planning and decision-making. Identify gaps, connect development to business needs, and give teams clear insight into where to focus next.
