SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ORACLE
OPENWORLD -- To help organizations attract the best talent
and meet evolving employee expectations, Oracle today announced a
series of new features and machine learning capabilities within
Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud. The additions empower
employees to seek internal career growth, encourage cross-team
collaboration, and simplify and streamline workflows to help HR
teams save time.
To attract and retain talent amid record low unemployment and
skyrocketing employee expectations, HR teams are under pressure to
rethink traditional practices and deliver new workplace
experiences. At the same time, HR leaders need to streamline
time-consuming processes so they have the flexibility to react
quickly to changing business needs and drive meaningful outcomes.
The latest updates to Oracle HCM Cloud address these challenges and
enable HR professionals to create intuitive and personalized
experiences for employees.
"Employees expect the same experiences that they have in their
personal lives to be reflected at work, including interaction using
voice, access to everything on their mobile phone, and
behavior-based recommendations," said Chris
Leone, senior vice president of development, Oracle HCM
Cloud. "At Oracle, we're building on our culture of innovation to
give our customers more of what they want and need. They want
access to the latest technology tools and the ability to
compete with agility, while delivering a seamless experience for
their workforce. And with Oracle, they can."
To keep employees engaged, Oracle HCM Cloud helps businesses
create workplace experiences that are more conversational,
comprehensive, and connected:
- Conversational experiences with Digital Assistant: To
provide actionable support for workers, Oracle Digital Assistant
can now suggest next steps and recommendations within the context
of employee conversations. New capabilities include access to
onboarding tasks, goals, and performance evaluations, and the
availability of manager self-service actions via Oracle Digital
Assistant.
- Comprehensive experiences with LinkedIn Profile Import and
Recruiter System Connect: Oracle and LinkedIn customers can now
import information directly from their LinkedIn profile into Oracle
HCM Cloud. This helps employees find new growth opportunities and
provides employers with the insights they need to encourage more
internal mobility. And, with Recruiter System Connect, customers
can now connect Oracle's recruiting solutions with LinkedIn
Recruiter to improve recruiting efficiency.
- Connected experiences with the new Oracle Connections:
To help businesses build a stronger workplace culture, Oracle
Connections makes it quick and easy for employees to connect with
team members from across the organization. Every employee has a
profile page to share skills, interests, successful projects and
more. Oracle Connections also provides a new consumer-like
experience to the employee directory and lets teams provide and
collect feedback within the Connections network.
In the latest updates to Oracle HCM Cloud, workflows are
automated to help HR professionals save time by simplifying and
streamlining tasks:
- Event-Based Processes: New features automate multi-step
processes for event-based tasks. For example, when an employee gets
married they have to change their name, address, tax forms, etc.
With Event-Based Processes, the system simplifies the process for
employees by aggregating all necessary steps and automating mundane
tasks.
- HCM Experience Design Studio: Updates to HCM Experience
Design Studio help HR teams quickly and easily design comprehensive
business processes and workflows, as well as create
customer-defined defaulting and validation logic. For example,
customers can use conditional defaulting to automatically set full-
or part-time status based on work hours, without the need for IT
support.
- Intuitive Self-Service for complex, industry-specific
workflows: New self-service capabilities improve ease-of-use
for position management. This is particularly beneficial for
position-run organizations in higher education, healthcare, and
public sector industries where HR needs to set up automatic rules
and position progressions when managing headcount.
