According to a recent survey of Cornerstone clients conducted in May 2018, an overwhelming majority of respondents (89 percent) believe that fostering a culture of continuous, life-long learning is very important for driving the success and longevity of an organization. However, 39 percent of respondents described their organization’s learning culture as transactional and compliance-based, missing a vital opportunity to enable their employees to develop new skills and prepare for future business needs.
