Case Study: Commvault achieves continuous coaching and ongoing performance management with Cornerstone OnDemand

Commvault moving beyond reviewing employees to unlocking employee potential

Commvault, a global leader in enterprise backup, recovery, archive and cloud services with over 2,000 employees, faced a common tech-industry challenge: attracting, developing and retaining in-demand talent. The company shifted from annual performance reviews to an "unlocking potential" mindset—focusing on continuous development, priorities over rigid goals, and a career lattice—but needed a single technology platform to support ongoing coaching, learning, succession and compensation.

Commvault implemented Cornerstone’s unified talent management solution, embedding an “Unlocking Potential” portal and using compliance training and curated course links to drive adoption. The platform turned static reviews into ongoing check-ins and Talent Snaps, enabled continuous learning and agile reprioritization, simplified development planning, improved succession data with talent mapping, and provided leaders with real-time visibility through dashboards.
