Case Study: Clif Bar achieves a scalable self-directed learning culture and increased employee engagement with Cornerstone OnDemand

Clif Bar doubles down on its commitment to self-directed learning

Clif Bar & Company, a 550+ employee food and beverage maker in North America, wanted to build a dynamic, self‑directed learning culture but was hampered by manual processes and scattered learning content. The L&D team needed a centralized, scalable way to give employees ownership of their development and to measure the impact of learning initiatives.

By implementing Cornerstone Learning and Cornerstone Content Anytime and launching a centralized hub called “Epiphany Labs,” Clif Bar quickly expanded its library of on‑demand and blended content (including the Leader Trek program), increased voluntary course registrations and engagement, and supported remote onboarding and leadership training during the pandemic—laying the foundation for a measurable, growth‑focused learning culture.
