Over the past several months, we've been listening closely to feedback from department managers, initiators, HR teams, and campus partners regarding their experiences with Oracle HCM. 

‌As part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Oracle HCM experience, we're introducing a new set of enhancements to make common HR activities easier to complete, improve data accuracy, reduce manual work, and streamline hiring and position management. 

‌These updates are part of our continuous improvement effort and reflect feedback we've received since go-live.

Easier position management

We've simplified several aspects of creating and managing positions to reduce manual effort and improve consistency. 

‌Highlights include: 

• ‌Position forms now display only the fields relevant to your role, making requests easier to complete. 
• ‌Frequently used values, such as education requirements and IAP classifications, are automatically populated where appropriate. 
• ‌Department approval routing has been expanded to provide greater flexibility and oversight for Campus staff position requests. 
• ‌Contingent worker reporting changes now follow a standardized approval process. 

‌Benefit: Less time completing forms and fewer data-entry errors.

Improved hiring experience

Several enhancements make recruiting and onboarding more efficient. 

‌Highlights include: 

• ‌Compensation reviewers can now view complete Job Descriptions directly during approvals and access associated requisitions without manual document exchanges. 
• ‌Managers have improved visibility and editing capabilities within Job Requisition approvals. 
• ‌Additional validation on offer details helps improve the accuracy of candidate offers. 
• ‌Structured onboarding journeys have been expanded for contingent workers, including automated document routing. 

‌Benefit: Faster hiring, improved collaboration, and a more consistent onboarding experience.

We've introduced several improvements that reduce manual updates while improving the accuracy of workforce information. 

‌Highlights include: 

• ‌Job Descriptions now correctly populate for employee transfers. 
• ‌Oath and Patent information now synchronizes automatically.
