Customize Cornerstone CSX to Match Your HR Strategy

Cornerstone CSX does a lot. But it wasn’t built around your brand, your goals, or your people. That’s where we come in. We help HR teams take control of the experience, redesign key pages, personalize learning journeys, and even add in functionalities you’re missing.

Build a Better Experience Inside Cornerstone CSX

Cornerstone CSX gives you the foundation. 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 require support from someone with technical knowledge.

Customization changes that. Whether you’re focused on learning and development, performance and talent management, or HR and content management, we help you shape the experience so it works for your structure, your people, and your goals.

You can simplify navigation, surface the right information, and create pages that support your strategy. It’s still CSX. Now it’s set up for you.

Simplify what matters. Amplify what works.

Strengthen the Core of Your HR Strategy in CSX

HR strategies depend on a few key pillars: learning, performance, and the right access to information. CSX supports all of them in one place. It brings together skills development, onboarding, compliance, succession, mobility, and more. But with that much functionality in one platform, the experience can quickly become overwhelming.

When priorities get lost in the noise, people miss what matters. Content feels scattered. Goals become unclear. And strategy doesn’t show up where it needs to.

Structure changes that. With the right setup, teams see what’s relevant. Managers stay focused. Employees move through their development with less confusion. It’s not about changing what the platform does. It’s about making it work better for the people who rely on it every day.

Learning and Development

Support skills growth, onboarding, and compliance with learning journeys that feel focused and easy to follow. Highlight the programs that matter and remove distractions.

Performance and Talent Management

Help managers and employees track goals, feedback, and mobility with clarity. Build dashboards that support development and succession without adding noise.

HR and Content Management

Bring important updates, documents, and HR resources to the surface. Keep them relevant, timely, and tailored by audience, location, or language.

How CSX Enhances Key Areas of HR

CSX empowers your organization to build a robust learning culture. With tools for learning management, engaging experiences, and extended enterprise learning, CSX helps you create comprehensive training programs that drive employee growth and development.

Set the tone from the start
Welcome Page

The Welcome Page is the first touchpoint employees see inside CSX. It’s a chance to create clarity, offer support, and make people feel connected from the moment they arrive. With the right setup, it becomes more than a message. It becomes the page people trust to start their day.

Out of the box, Cornerstone offers one version for everyone. We help you go further. Create dedicated versions for different roles. Add features that support your goals. Bring structure and energy to the first thing people see.

Set the tone

Reflect your company’s voice and values. Make it feel considered and familiar from the first click.

Show the right things

Make it personal

Design different versions for onboardees, employees, or managers. Each one focused, useful, and easy to keep fresh.

Let interest lead the way
Learner Home

The Learner Home is one of the most visited pages in CSX, but the standard setup often feels cluttered and hard to navigate. We help you turn it into something clear, personal, and easy to explore.

A page that encourages curiosity, supports focus, and makes progress feel straightforward. With features like Subjects, learners can choose topics that interest them and shape the recommendations they see. Every layout is shaped around your team and feels unique to them.

Help your team move forward

Keep the page focused on relevant learning based on role or journey.

Link content to growth

Highlight skills-based training that supports development and long-term learning goals.

Turn progress into motivation

Use badges, To-Dos, and training stats to help learners see what they’ve done and what’s next.

Be the kind of place talent tells their friends about
Career Site & Talent Pages

Career growth starts with visibility. Whether you’re hiring externally or opening up internal opportunities, your career site should do more than list roles. It should make people want in. We help you shape a space that reflects your culture, speaks to ambition, and shows what sets you apart.
