Chelsea Football Club announces ‘pioneering’ new partnership for Women’s team

Chelsea FC Women have today announced a landmark new partnership with Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., a specialist in learning and talent experience solutions, that aims to empower a future-ready workforce.

Through the partnership, Cornerstone will be powering Chelsea’s entire workforce both on and off the pitch by being integrated into the Club’s wider learning and development programmes, empowering all staff to be ‘their most extraordinary’.

Cornerstone have been a ‘pioneer’ in learning and talent experience solutions for the last two decades and are a natural fit to support the current Women’s Super League Champions in pushing the game forward.

As part of this ‘pioneering’ partnership, Chelsea FC Women and Cornerstone will showcase how Chelsea FC Women’s stars and past players are using Cornerstone’s learning and talent software to help them be the best version of themselves.

Fans will also see Cornerstone’s pitch-side branding and future Cornerstone-hosted events across Stamford Bridge, Kingsmeadow and Cobham.

The partnership will be kicking off around the Women’s Super League season-opener with Cornerstone Connect Live hosted at the ‘iconic’ Stamford Bridge stadium on 2 October, the day after Chelsea FC Women take on Spurs to begin their title defence for the 2023/2024 season at the stadium.

Cornerstone Connect Live is an exclusive event bringing together customers, executives and industry visionaries for conversations and inspiration for building successful and thriving talent programmes for the future.

Himanshu Palsule, Cornerstone chief executive officer, commented: “We are thrilled to partner with Chelsea FC Women. This new relationship underscores our commitment to empowering women athletes and supporting their continuous growth and development.

“With Cornerstone’s world-class learning and talent management software, the Chelsea organisation and its athletes can reach full potential both on and off the pitch.”

Zarah Al-Kudcy, Women’s commercial director at Chelsea FC, added: “Cornerstone’s learning and talent development tools will enable us to unleash the potential of the team behind the team. As a recent new member of the business myself, Cornerstone has already helped to accelerate my integration into the club.”

Jo Stone, director of HR at Chelsea FC, added: “I am delighted to welcome Cornerstone as an official partner of our Women’s team. They are a truly best-in-class learning, development and performance management system provider.
