Over the years, many different traits have tried to define human beings, but none have done a better job of it than that desire to grow on a consistent basis. This progressive approach, on our part, has fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is built around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did scale up our experience through some outright unique avenues, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has turned more and more evident over the recent past, and assuming one HRM-themed development ends up with the desired impact, it will only put that trend on a higher pedestal moving forward.
Oracle has officially released an updated version of its employee experience platform, Oracle ME, to help HR teams in maximizing productivity across the organization and facilitating employee growth. According to certain reports, the update keeps a new AI-powered solution named Oracle Grow at the heart of everything, but what all is actually included in it? Well, for starters, the solution works by delivering the most relevant insights and AI-driven development opportunities so to let workers accommodate any required changes in their role, discover new growth options, and achieve their career goals. Moving on, Oracle Grow leverages the wider Oracle Cloud HCM setup for accessing data, which is then used to map out the next steps an employee should take based on their responsibilities, career interests, desired skills, individual learning styles, and changes in the business. Providing further support in the context of career development, the new AI solution also has the means to help workers in conceiving their own tailored growth trajectory. This can be realized through Oracle Journey’s development playlists functionality, a functionality that generates goal-based content when finding coaches, classes, gigs, internal, external development resources, and more.
“Every organization is currently being challenged to achieve more with less and to do that successfully, they need to increase productivity and retain their best talent,” said Chris Leone, executive vice president, applications development, Oracle Cloud HCM. “A critical part of that equation is professional growth, but with the unprecedented pace of change around skills and business needs, this has become one of the most difficult areas for HR teams to support. To help our customers address this challenge and guide their workforce to achieve their fullest potential, we are introducing Oracle Grow.”
Hold on, there are still some bits left to unpack. Next in line of features is an enhanced team skills center. Here, the idea is to make it possible for managers and HR leaders to track skills needs and gaps across their teams and organization, assign specific skills crucial to the fulfillment of various business objectives before automatically adding them to every employee’s Oracle Grow experience.
Talk about Oracle’s cloud HCM setup, it is one comprehensive suite of solutions that connects every human resource process from when a hire is finalized to the day that hire exits the company. Acting as an exclusive source of all employee data, Oracle cloud HCM ensures a streamlined HR operation at every step. Interestingly, given the new update, it will now hope to unlock an even better brand of efficiency for the future.
“Oracle Grow gives us the opportunity for people to truly self-manage their careers in a way that makes sense,” said Andrew Dennan, Head of HR Services at Synlait Milk, LTD. “The self-service capabilities for employees and visibility for managers that Oracle Grow provides is something we have needed for years.”
