The coronavirus pandemic caused unprecedented disruption to the way we think , work and live . Worldwide stay at home orders shook global supply chains and businesses had to quickly adapt operations and suddenly become a remote workforce overnight .
In response to this extraordinary event , people development solutions company , Cornerstone OnDemand , launched an online learning platform , Cornerstone Cares , in March 2020 to aid people ’ s learning at a time of increased uncertainty . The platform , made freely available to the public , features dedicated learning playlists with courses , tools and general information on topics that are important in helping people adapt to the new normal .
Each learning playlist on Cornerstone Cares consists of a mix of nanolearning , microlearning and longer-form content , tailoring to every type of learner and their needs . Playlist topics includes best practices on working from home , unconscious bias , stress management and prevention and control of the coronavirus , with new courses being added on a regular basis to reflect the changing situation .
