Kingfisher taps Cornerstone OnDemand AI powered solutions for workforce development push

Home improvement retailer, Kingfisher, is leveraging Cornerstone OnDemand’s employee learning and performance management solutions.

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

It says that Cornerstone’s AI powered learning and talent solutions will enable it to deliver modern learning at scale, ensure compliance, adhere to local legislation and optimise continuous talent development.

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,” says Kate Seljeflot, Chief People Officer at Kingfisher. 

“We needed a world class talent management solution that would allow our people to benefit from a single 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.” 

"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,” says Vincent Belliveau, Chief International Officer at Cornerstone. 

“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.”
