Oracle transforms its human resources organization with Oracle Cloud HCM
“Our talent process has given me the opportunity to continuously review my skills, make adjustments, and improve as a sales leader. Due to the visibility and process, I’ve been able to progress from regional manager to group sales director and now regional vice president. Without this feedback process, I wouldn’t be where I am today, growing and moving my career forward here at Oracle.”
Business challenges
Oracle is a $40 billion company with 138,000 employees serving 430,000 customers in 175 countries.
Integral to our transformation from a product-oriented to a cloud-based services-oriented company was our HR operations. Like many of our customers, we had disparate internal systems and processes for hiring and onboarding, and the result was a disjointed, overly complex, and time-consuming employee experience. Our goal was to simplify our HR processes and make the applications that manage them more intuitive—more like the apps our employees use in their personal lives.
Our new employee experience has certainly shaped my career in a positive way. When Cloud HCM launched, I took the opportunity to enter my career aspirations, skills and work preferences online. I shared how I was really keen to broaden my career by moving from analytics to HCM. That update was discussed by managers and HR at the next talent review meeting, and as a result I was able to move roles within six months.
