EmployeeCenter® allows your workers to promote themselves within your organization by writing about their skills, interests & previous experience and then publishing to a social profile that can viewed by everyone in your workforce.
Get the complete picture of your workforce.
How well do you know your employees?
How well do they know each other? What are their skills, interests and function within your organization? Chances are that there is more information about your workforce on Facebook and LinkedIn than within your own HR System.
The employee rich picture
Knowing an employee’s department, work location and job title is important. But it doesn’t provide anyone the rich picture of who they really are. What is their past experience, what are their key skills, what do they really do in their current role? Is there anyone in the business who might be able to fill a new resource requirement or aid you in achieving an objective by answering a work related question?
Let’s play Tag
EmployeeCenter® brings social capabilities into Oracle HR with a powerful tagging feature. Employees can tag themselves by typing in any keyword which is then stored against themselves, for example, “Excel Guru”, “French Speaker”, “Human Resource Officer”. Anyone in the organization can then search for tags and EmployeeCenter® will return all matches. Want to find someone who speaks Spanish? Type in “Spanish” in the Tag search and immediately see a list of people with that Tag. It’s a revolutionary way to find skills within your workforce, without having to rely on a bloated and restrictive competency framework.
Your new Employee Self Service portal
We’d all like Oracle HR Self Service to look its best. EmployeeCenter® has a rich user interface that can be configured as the landing page for employees logging into Self Service. Quick links can be set up to take them into all other Self Service actions, meaning they never have to see the Oracle navigator again.Great user experience with a feature list to match
