Case Study: Canon achieves 25% increase in internal hires and boosts high-potential engagement with Cornerstone OnDemand

Canon increasing internal hires by 25% & engaging high potentials

Canon Europe, with more than 18,000 employees across 22 regional offices, faced fragmented, largely manual talent processes—relying on Excel and Word—which limited visibility into skills and career paths, produced inconsistent HR practices across markets, and contributed to high attrition among high-potential employees and poor ROI on learning activities.

By rolling out Cornerstone’s SaaS suite for Learning, Performance and Succession, Canon standardized performance management, enabled self-directed learning and real-time talent visibility. The change delivered more impactful learning at similar cost, higher review participation (84% set goals), clearer alignment to company priorities (60% see the link to vision), an active internal talent pipeline and a 25% increase in internal hires while improving retention of high potentials.
