Case Study: GeoStabilization International achieves 50% faster time-to-proficiency and rapid L&D adoption with Cornerstone OnDemand

GSI Puts Learning and Development in the Hands of its Team Members

GeoStabilization International (GSI) is a 500‑employee construction services company that develops solutions to protect people and infrastructure from geohazards across the US, Canada and Australia. GSI lacked a formal learning and development program, relied on spreadsheets and file folders to track certifications, and needed to rapidly build field skill proficiency for a largely remote workforce.

Implementing Cornerstone created a central hub for certifications, training, compliance and performance management, automating previously manual processes and giving managers consistent metrics. Within six months over 350 employees (70% of the workforce) had deployed development plans, time‑to‑proficiency improved by about 50%, and teams gained clearer visibility into skills and stronger manager–employee development conversations.
