PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – December 5, 2016 — The Best Practice Institute announces Adam Miller the winner of its Best Practices CEO Award for 2016. Miller is one of six winners of this year’s Best Practice Awards.
Miller is CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand, which helps companies realize the potential of the modern workforce through cloud-based learning and talent management. He started the company in 1999 with the belief that putting employees together who are smart, cool, dependable and visionary creates a meaningful, enriching work environment that people will want to be a part of in the long run.
Miller takes care of his employees. One example of his passion for continued learning for his employees is Cornerstone Development Days–one day every few months where Cornerstone employees drop what they are doing for a day simply to learn something new – whether that’s mastering Java Script or learning to make cake pops. At the most recent Development Day, more than 1,400 hours of training were delivered over the course of two days.
More than 80 percent of Cornerstone’s 28 million active users take advantage of its learning and development solution. This learning ranges from instructor-led training, e-learning and video learning, to collaborative learning, mobile learning, just-in-time contextual learning and much more. Miller sees the future of talent management to be less about automated processes and annual reviews, and more about empowering employees and using compassion to make sure their reach their highest potential.
In helping their clients, Miller and his team focus on developing deeper, richer learning experiences for modern workers, reimagining people management as a system of engagement rather than a system of record, and bringing powerful data science models to HR, Cornerstone’s clients are able to make smarter, more data-driven talent decisions using people analytics.
“Mr. Miller not only provides customized, enriching experiences for his clients, but for his employees as well,” said Louis Carter, BPI founder and CEO. “He truly practice what he preaches. We offer our congratulations to him for winning this year’s BPI award.”
