Feature Summary

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.

UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Features Delivered Disabled = Action is needed BEFORE these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users
(Feature Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

Adaptive Intelligence for Talent Management

Best Careers

Leverage the careers recommended to you on your Explore Careers page and plan your career path. These recommendations are based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning algorithms. You see the most relevant recommendations based on your talent profile ordered by the recommendation strength. Ensure that you have updated your talent profile information to view relevant recommendations.

The image shows recommended careers with their recommendation strength.

Career Recommendations on Explore Careers Page

Select one of the recommended careers to view more details about that career. You can also search for other careers.

As managers you can view the recommended careers for your team members and accordingly assign appropriate development goals for them. By doing this, you improve your team morale and employee retention.

The image shows recommended careers with their recommendation strength on a team member's Career Development spotlight page.

Recommended Roles on Team Member’s Explore Careers Page

Administrators can limit the number of recommendations that you can see on the Explore Careers page using the ORA_HRD_AI_BEST_CAREER_RECOMMENDATIONS_LIMIT profile option. The maximum value that your administrator can specify for this profile option is 50.

Plan your career path by viewing careers that you can move into. Enhance the career development of your team members by identifying the best career options for them.

Steps to Enable

Your Oracle Cloud administrator and implementation user need to activate AI apps, ingest data, and set the appropriate profile options. Refer to the Activating Oracle AI Apps for HCM Cloud (Doc ID 2826501.1) document available on My Oracle Support for instructions related to this.

Tips And Considerations

AI recommendations are based on employee talent profiles. To view appropriate recommendations, HR specialists need to ensure that job model profiles and person profiles are set up and employees are associated with a job.

Key Resources

For more information on the following please see the following guides in the Oracle Help Center:

Best Successors

As HR specialists and managers, you can view artificial intelligence (AI) recommended candidates to add to succession plans. The recommendations are based on artificial intelligence machine learning and web-scale data.

In the Add menu of the Candidates section, select the Recommended Candidates option to view the recommended candidates for the succession plan. The candidates recommended are not more than 2 levels below the role of the succession plan. The recommendations are based on the model profile for the job associated with the succession plan and are arranged in order of the recommendation strength. You can further filter the recommendations by selecting specific business units, grades, and locations.

The image shows some candidate recommendations on the Recommended Candidates page.

Recommended Candidates Page

Expand the candidate row to view these additional details:

  • Business unit
  • Department
  • Grade
  • Location

Click a recommended candidate’s name to view the candidate's spotlight Succession page for more information about the candidate.

Select the candidates that you want to add to the succession plan and click Add. You can see these candidates in the Candidates section of the succession plan. Note that if the selected worker is already a candidate in the succession plan, they won’t be added to the plan again.

Leverage the power of AI and enhance your succession planning by adding the most suitable candidates to your succession plans.

Steps to Enable

Your Oracle Cloud administrator and implementation user need to activate AI apps, ingest data, and set the appropriate profile options. Refer to the Activating Oracle AI Apps for HCM Cloud (Doc ID 2826501.1) document available on My Oracle Support for instructions related to this.

Tips And Considerations

  • AI recommendations are based on employee talent profiles. To view appropriate recommendations, HR specialists need to ensure that job model profiles and person profiles are set up and employees are associated with a job.

  • Your administrators can hide the option to add AI recommended candidates using Transaction Design Studio.

  • If your administrator has enabled the option to add AI recommended candidates, then you can’t see the option to add Best-Fit candidates.
  • You can see recommended candidates based on the candidate security defined for you.
  • Even if a recommended candidate has multiple assignments, the person is listed only once on the Recommended Candidates page. 
  • If you change the job or position or incumbent of a succession plan, any recommended candidates that are already added as candidates will remain as candidates until you manually remove them from the succession plan.

Dynamic Skills

Enable employees to align with business and career development needs through adaptive and continuous management of skills in the employee Skills Center, the manager Team Skills Center, and the use of Skills Advisor across Oracle HCM.

Employee Skills Center

You can:

  • Add skills to your profile or a coworker’s profile in the following ways:
    • Choose a skill from the system-generated suggestions.
    • Enter the skill name. As you start typing, system automatically starts suggesting the skills matching the text you entered. You can't enter duplicate skills in the profile.
  • Endorse a coworker for:
    • A new skill from the system-generated suggestions.
    • A skill on their profile whether it's an existing skill or a skill to develop.
  • Enable skill levels for Skills Center to indicate the proficiency for a skill.
  • Request an endorsement from your coworkers for any of the skills you already have. You can select endorsers from the system-generated suggestions for that skill.

Skills Center

Manager Team Skills Center

You can assign core skills to team members reporting to you at any levels of hierarchy for development and meeting the organizational objectives. This helps you to assess the progress and help in case there are any gaps. When adding a core skill:

  • You can leverage type-ahead suggestions presented to you by the system when you start typing in a skill.
  • You may pick a skill that's already a role skill, thereby creating your own skill criteria for your team.
  • You can optionally choose skill levels when assigning core skills, if skill levels are available in the system.
  • Your team’s skill achievement will be shown in relation to the core skill level requirement you have specified.

In addition to the core skills you can also view the role and other skills that your team already has or is developing. This could provide a valuable view into skills that are available in your organization for new product and organizational growth opportunities.

Team Skills Center
