AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- To help
businesses prioritize workforce safety and prepare for the
post-COVID workplace, Oracle has updated the Employee Care Package
within Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM). The
latest updates to the Employee Care Package, which was launched in
June 2020 to help HR leaders navigate
new workforce demands, include new COVID-19 testing and vaccine
tracking capabilities for HR teams and automated guidance for
employees as they return to the workplace. The latest additions are
included in a new "Return to the Workplace Journey" that is
designed to help keep employees safe by guiding them through new
processes, training, and safety protocols, while enabling HR
leaders to analyze critical workforce data such as testing and
vaccination records.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has forced organizations to prioritize
the health and safety of employees and this has put HR leaders
front and center as they help their teams adjust to change and
address new challenges," said Chris
Leone, senior vice president of development, Oracle Cloud
HCM. "As the future of work continues to evolve, it's critical that
organizations are able to make informed business decisions in real
time to protect their teams. Our Return to the Workplace Journey
will help our customers meet this challenge and is designed to help
organizations ensure the health and safety of their workers."
The new Return to the Workplace Journey seamlessly guides
employees through a series of key steps to promote workforce safety
and ease the process of returning to in-office routines. This
includes reviewing new safety procedures, completing regular
wellness checks, taking mask and safety protocol training, booking
a COVID-19 test with preferred testing providers, and updating
their immunization status through self-reporting questionnaires or
proof of vaccination, such as digital certificates or copies of
physical records. One way for employees to share this information
will be through new digital passports or electronic vaccination
credentials. Oracle is working with the technology and health care
community to help ensure people will have secure access to this
information where and when they need it.
In addition, HR leaders can use Oracle Fusion HCM Analytics to
analyze the data captured by Return to the Workplace Journey to
gain key insights into workforce safety, such as the percentage of
their workforce who have been tested or vaccinated, the
distribution across multiple offices, and for global companies, how
different regions are progressing. This level of insight will allow
organizations to use real-time data to make key decisions such as
when to allow in-office access, which offices are ready to re-open,
and what location-specific protocols need to be implemented to
provide the utmost safety of their employees.
Journeys is the latest addition to the Oracle Employee Care
Package, a bundle of HCM tools and technology to help HR
teams make work safer, provide more support, and work smarter in a
time of constant change. Other key features of the Employee Care
Package include:
- Oracle Workforce Health & Safety: Enables regular
wellness checks for employees and contractors through quick and
customizable pulse surveys. With Oracle Workforce Health &
Safety, employees have the ability to file various types of
incident reports, notify their employer of health incidents such as
possible COVID-19 exposure, or flag office cleanliness
concerns.
- Oracle Digital Assistant: Provides 24/7 support for
employees throughout the entire return to workplace journey. With
immediate access to the Oracle Digital Assistant, employees can get
quick answers to any questions (Where would I go to get a vaccine?
When will my office re-open? Am I required to come back to the
office full-time? Etc.) as they begin the process of coming back to
the office.
- Oracle Learning: Supports a safe return to the workplace
by giving employees instant access to new trainings and information
on in-office safety protocols. HR leaders can leverage Oracle
Learning to specify mandatory courses for their workforce, meet new
compliance requirements, and track progress in the learning
dashboard to monitor how many employees have completed their
trainings.
Oracle Journeys deliver a guided digital experience for
employees across resources, services, and actions as they move
through personal and professional events. In addition to the new
Return to the Workplace Journey, Oracle also offers templates for
Safe Travels Journey, Your Well Being Companion Journey, Onboarding
Journey, and more. Customers can access available Journey templates
through Oracle Customer Connect.
Dedicated to helping customers navigate the current challenges,
Oracle is helping lead the way to a post-pandemic world. The
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is using Oracle's National
Electronic Health Records Cloud plus Oracle's Public Health
Management Applications Suite to manage the COVID-19 vaccination
program throughout the United
States. Oracle has also been working with The Tony Blair
Institute for Global Change to accelerate wide scale vaccination
programs in Africa.
