Human Resources

Global Human Resources

Oracle Global Human Resources enables your organization to plan, manage and optimize all workforce segments using flexible and extensible best practices to realize extraordinary gains while insuring compliance and increasing total workforce engagement.

Effective Date from Advanced Search Carries Over to the Transaction Page

Improve user experience with the effective as-of date now defaulted from the Advanced Search page to the transaction page.

Client List of Values for Action and Action Reason

Enhance the user experience with new Action and Action Reason client list of values (LOVs). You can now get relevant action and action reason suggestions as you start typing in the LOV.

Performance Enhancements of Workforce Structures LOVs

Improve the performance of workforce structure LOVs using new profile options. The profile options enable a more compact search for positions, departments, locations, and jobs. When you use compact search, you can search based on name and code only and not the other attributes. Use these profile options to enable compact search.

  • ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_POSITION_SEARCH
  • ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_LOCATION_SEARCH
  • ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_DEPARTMENT_SEARCH
  • ORA_PER_LOV_COMPACT_JOB_SEARCH

A new scheduled process, “Optimize Workforce Structures LOV to Use Starts With” is added, which runs automatically on a daily basis. The process switches the search from 'contains' to 'starts with' for all large workforce structures LOVs when the row threshold is exceeded. You can change the default threshold value of 10,000 through new profile options added for the purpose, or you can also change it to zero to avoid the switch.

Position Synchronization: Impacted Assignments in Position Details

Use the actions Update or Correct from the Position Details page, you can now see the impacted assignments that will inherit this position change.

This only applies if you have configured to synchronize the line manager based on the HCM Position Hierarchy.

Position Management: Profiles in Position Details

View the profiles associated with a position on the Position Details page. Using the Update or Correct actions, you can now associate an existing profile as well as end date the relationship of a currently associated profile. You can also create a new profile using the Create Profile action on the Position Details page. Once you saved the new profile, you can then use the update or correct position actions to associate the newly created profile. Profile integration is also available on the Request a New Position and Request a Position Change pages.

You need to migrate to profiles V2 to use this feature.

Filter Positions Based on Hiring Status

Streamline the position list of values (LoV) in employment pages using the ORA_POS_HIRING_STATUS_FILTER profile option. When the profile option is enabled, the position LOV is filtered to only include positions that have an approved hiring status. For example, managers can only hire or transfer an employee to the position from the date the hiring status is approved.

In pending worker pages, the position LOV isn't filtered, but instead an error message is shown if the user selects a position that isn't approved for hiring. The same validation also applies when using HCM Data Loader (HDL). The position filtering doesn't apply for nonworkers.

Improved Areas of Responsibility User Experience Through Responsibility Templates

Improve the Areas of Responsibility (AOR) user experience. Responsibility templates are intended to create areas of responsibility with predefined scope for your representatives. Responsibility templates will:

  • Allow you to control and minimize the number of responsibility visible scope items displayed on a worker’s responsibility, so you choose only the scope that applies to your organization without Page Composer customization;
  • Specify required values on the worker responsibility;
  • Display default values on the worker responsibility;
  • Create consistent and reusable responsibilities for people you’ve assigned directly to the responsibility template;
  • Support flexible patterns;
  • Allow assignment of the same template to multiple workers;
  • Limit access to scope values, if the user does not have the data security access; and
  • Allow for a detailed description of the template.

Leverage the extended lookup code functionality to map your new lookup codes from the SEX lookup type to the new ORA_PER_SEX lookup type to ensure that reports and processes operate appropriately.

Global HR Redesigned User Experience

Increase user satisfaction with the redesigned pages that now have the same look and feel on desktop and mobile devices. These redesigned pages are both responsive and easy to use on any device, with a modern look and conversational language. Clutter-free pages, with clean lines and just the essential fields, can be personalized to suit.

V1 Seniority Dates and Worker Number Fields Added to Responsive Employment Flows

Streamline user experience by now including these fields in the Work Relationship Info section:

  • Enterprise Seniority Date (V1 Seniority Date)
  • Legal Employer Seniority Date (V1 Seniority Date)
  • Worker Number

NOTE: In the Edit Work Relationship responsive page , these fields are removed from the Enterprise and Primary Info section and added to the Work Relationship Info section.

Document of Records Redesigned User Experience

Increase user satisfaction with the redesigned pages that now have the same look and feel on desktop and mobile devices. These redesigned pages are both responsive and easy to use on any device, with a modern look and conversational language. Clutter-free pages, with clean lines and just the essential fields, can be personalized to suit.

Migrate to the Document Records and Document Delivery Preferences responsive pages to leverage enhanced features. 

NOTE: From 20B onwards, document records and document delivery preferences in Classic pages will no longer be supported.
