Staffbase, the first AI-native employee experience platform, announced a strategic partnership with Cornerstone, a leader in workforce agility solutions. The partnership aims to help organizations deliver essential training and development opportunities to their entire workforce, especially hard-to-reach frontline employees.
Non-desk workers represent a significant share of the workforce in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and transportation. Yet they often remain disconnected from corporate infrastructure like learning, compliance, performance and talent marketplace systems, while also facing higher turnover rates. As a result, companies see lower course completion rates, longer completion times, and less engagement in voluntary training among their frontline teams compared to their desk-based workforce. This gap represents a major challenge for companies striving to ensure compliance, upskill their workforce, and foster a culture of continuous learning and growth, while retaining frontline workers.
Bridging the learning gap between desk-based and frontline employees
Together, Staffbase and Cornerstone are tackling the frontline gap by integrating Cornerstone’s world-class training experiences and AI-powered content agents directly into the Staffbase Employee App – and through this, into the daily flow of work. This addresses the changing nature of learning, which is becoming conversational – especially for the frontline. Delivered through Staffbase’s Employee AI Assistant, the only assistant built to scale across frontline-heavy organizations, personalized learning content now reaches every employee exactly where they are, seamlessly integrated into the overall employee experience. Through this, frontline learning becomes accessible, engaging, and mobile-first.

By combining Cornerstone’s powerful workforce agility platform with Staffbase’s AI-native employee experience platform, we’re transforming how employees everywhere connect with corporate knowledge, skill development, and internal career opportunities – turning essential training into an intuitive, personalized experience that fits right into their flow of work and is built for a new era of AI in the workplace.”
“This integration with Staffbase furthers Cornerstone’s mission to power the potential of organizations and their people by supporting and meeting employees where they are,” said Anna Goldberg, AVP, Product Management, Cornerstone. “Staffbase’s corporate communication and employee experience platform, combined with Cornerstone’s Galaxy platform, will power agents to support employee upskilling in the moment of need, on the frontline.”
