“Shifting business conditions and the global economic downturn are requiring organisations to reevaluate the way they are developing and retaining employees, especially for critical roles,” said Vincent Belliveau, General Manager, EMEA, Cornerstone OnDemand Inc. “While learning management is still essential, more companies are taking an integrated approach, including the use of social networks and Web 2.0 tools in practical but strategic ways.
