TALENT MANAGEMENT

Features under this section are available to all talent applications.

PERFORMANCE GOALS AND DOCUMENTS INTEGRATION WITH MASS LEGAL EMPLOYER CHANGE PROCESS

You can now choose to move performance goals and documents to workers’ new assignments with a legal employer when using the Global HR administration task Mass Legal Employer Change process.

You can move all of the workers performance goals and documents associated with all review periods, or you can choose only current and future review periods and leave historic performance goals and documents associated with the inactive assignments.

Moving performance goals and documents to the new assignment means that workers will not need to switch between assignments to see all of their performance goals and documents.

Use the section to move performance goals and documents and to select the review Additional Changesperiod:

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

If a worker has the same performance goals, goal plans, or performance documents associated with multiple assignments within the same work relationship, only the performance goals and documents associated with the primary assignment will be moved to the new assignment created by the Mass Legal Employer Change process. The performance goals and documents associated with secondary assignments will remain associated with those for further processing, canceling, or deleting.Eligibility profiles are not changed by the Mass Legal Employer Change process. So if the eligibility profiles used for performance goals and documents include inactive assignments then when the process runs and moves the performance goals and documents to the new assignment the inactive assignments will continue to be eligible for the same performance goals and documents. Eligibility profiles would need be updated to exclude the inactive assignments to prevent these being created again.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Oracle Fusion Performance Management supports features and functions for measuring and reporting worker performance.

CHECK-INS

Now employees and managers can have ongoing, meaningful discussions and provide feedback throughout the year by creating check-in documents from their desktop or smartphone. 

When workers or managers create a check-in document, they must select the review period and a check-in template and then specify a name for the document, date, and the manager. Only after creating the check-in document and when updating it, you can find the check-in content based on the check-in template definition. You can respond to your questionnaire. You can add notes by creating general discussion topics and performance goal discussion topics.

You can create a check-in template with an or status and choose to enable the Active Inactiveuse of Performance Goal Discussion Topics, General Discussion Topics, or Questionnaires for the workers and managers in check-in documents. You can include the eligibility profile for the use of check-in template so that managers and workers create check-in documents only from the eligible check-in templates. Only the eligible check-in templates are made available to the worker or manager, when creating the check-in document.

16

Creating a Check-In Template

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The worker can't delete a discussion topic when notes exist for the topic. You must first delete the notes and then the discussion topic. In a similar way, if discussion topics exist, you cannot delete a check-in document.You can add a performance goal discussion topic only when the worker is assigned with goals for the selected review period.

ROLE INFORMATION

By default, only the HR specialist role can create check-in templates (Privilege Name: HRA_MANAGE_PERFORMANCE_TEMPLATE_PRIV).

You must add ORA_HRA_MANAGE_CHECK_IN_DOCUMENT aggregate privilege to Worker and Line Manager job roles to manage check-in documents.

EXTENDED SET OF PERSON SEARCH FIELDS IN HUMAN RESOURCE SPECIALIST ADMINISTRATIVE TASKS

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TALENT REVIEW AND SUCCESSION

SUCCESSION MANAGEMENT

Oracle Fusion Succession Management helps to create succession plans to replace key personnel. Succession plans identify workers who are ready now, or can develop the necessary skills, for jobs and positions that aren't currently vacant, ensuring, a smooth transition and help you to manage candidate development.

SUPER USER FOR SUCCESSION MANAGEMENT

Leverage the ability to create a succession management super user role and access all succession plans in your organization. Additionally, you can configure the super user role to report on all plans in OTBI.

More than one user can be a super user. You can make any user who has access to the Succession Management work area a super user. A super user can create a succession plan for any incumbent. A super user can view and update most of the plans, public or private, without being named as an owner of the plan. Super users can view all candidates, even if they are not in the super user's data security profile. Super users can add any candidate to a succession plan. A super user can also add a candidate to a succession plan from the candidate’s Directory and the Person Spotlight pages.

STEPS TO ENABLE

You have to create a super user role before assigning this role to any user. See the Securing HCM guide to learn how to create a super user role and configure the super user role to report on all plans in OTBI.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The super user role is not a predefined role. You must create a custom super user role. Only a user with IT Security Manager Privilege can create a super user role.The super user role does not affect the Best Fit functionality, which will still be restricted to the user's normal data security.In this release, a super user who is selected as the owner type Candidate Manager for a plan can edit only the plan’s candidate list.In this release, a super user who is selected as the owner type Viewer for a plan can only view the plan and not edit it.

FLEXIBLE DATA SECURITY FOR SUCCESSION CANDIDATES AND INCUMBENTS

Enhance the succession planning process by allowing users to select candidates outside of their normal data security profile. You can support your business process requirements by independently configuring the candidate and incumbent searches to allow or not allow users to search outside their data security profile.

Previously, the incumbent search list, the candidate search list, and the plan candidates were secured by the Choose Worker privilege. Users could only search for or view candidates who were within their data security profile. However, users could search for incumbents who were outside their data security profile.

With the new security model changes, the incumbent and candidates of a succession plan are secured by different privileges. Specifying an incumbent for an existing plan or a new plan in the Plan Details page is now

18

secured by the Create Succession Plan for Worker Data privilege. Adding candidates to a succession plan in the Select Candidates page is now secured by the Add Worker to Succession Plan privilege.

In the new security model, you can define your own securing conditions for the incumbents and candidates that a user can access. You can create data roles, specify securing conditions for the data roles, and assign these roles to different users. The candidates and the incumbents that a signed-in user can search are determined by the role the signed-in user is assigned to.

STEPS TO ENABLE

To change the candidate or incumbent search behavior, you have to configure the data security policies of different roles like the Human Resource Specialist and Line Manager roles. For all job roles such as the Human Resource Specialist role, you must create a data role from the job role and then assign that data role to the job role.  For abstract roles such as the Line Manager role, you can add data security policies directly to the role. See the Securing HCM guide to learn how to configure the data security policies for a job role and an abstract role.

Talent Review Meeting Dashboard – Printable Page

The redesigned dashboard includes the new Prior Ratings feature, which replaces the Prior Meetings feature that was previously available.  You no longer need to select specific meetings to retrieve the prior ratings. Now, you enter a date range, and the system retrieves the most recently submitted rating within the range. The retrieved prior ratings are then converted to the box assignment of the current ratings and displayed in the box chart. This makes it easy to compare the prior ratings information with the current ratings displayed. The color coding helps you to quickly identify the ratings that have changed for each worker. The most recent rating is displayed for each worker within the prior rating range.

STEPS TO ENABLE

The redesigned dashboard is not available by default. To use the redesigned dashboard, you must create the HRR_NEW_DASHBOARD profile option and update it at site level to Y

DELETE OR REOPEN COMPLETED TALENT REVIEW MEETINGS

Improve the maintenance of talent review meetings by using the DELETE MEETING and REOPEN MEETING features. Both features provide you with more administrative options to assist with maintaining your talent review meetings. When you delete or reopen a meeting, the associated ratings that exist in Profiles for each reviewee are deleted.

23

Talent Review – Overview Page

In previous releases, you could only delete meetings that were not started or that were canceled. In this release, you can also delete a completed meeting. When you delete a meeting, all notes and tasks associated with the meeting are deleted.

The REOPEN MEETING feature allows you to reopen a completed meeting. When you submit a reopened meeting after making your changes, the ratings of the current reviewees are resent to Profiles.

When you reopen a meeting:

The meeting status changes from  to .Completed In Progress

The dashboard no longer lists the workers who were terminated since the meeting was last submitted.The dashboard no longer lists transfers or inactive assignments.The dashboard reflects the current assignment information of the review population.

Deleting or reopening a meeting triggers an Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) job, which does the deletion or reopening of the meeting. A meeting is reopened only when its associated ESS job completes successfully. To refresh the status of a meeting that is being processed by the ESS job, you must navigate away from the Talent Review Overview page and then return to the page. 

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Only meeting facilitators can view the delete and reopen icons.You cannot delete a meeting that is in progress.Both the delete and reopen icons are available by default. However, you can write an EL expression to hide them conditionally or all together.When you delete a meeting, the application creates a log regarding the success or failure of the deletion.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

SUPPORT FOR PURGING TRANSIENT ESS DATA

Reduce consumption of database storage by using the new process, Purge Goal Mass Request Data. You can schedule the process in the Manage Goal Scheduled Process page to purge the transient data in the application periodically.

By default, the Purge Start Days is set to 15 days from the current date. If you have more data to purge, you can set it to a minimum of 3 days so that data prior to 3 days from the current date is purged.

Purge Goal Mass Request Data Process

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Depending on the frequency you run the Goal processes such as Mass Assign Goals, Assign Goal Plans, or Assign Goal Plan Sets, data accumulates in database storage and slows down the application. So, you can schedule the Purge Goal Mass Request Data process accordingly and purge the data.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Oracle Fusion Performance Management supports features and functions for measuring and reporting worker performance.

DEEP LINKS TO PERFORMANCE DOCUMENTS FROM MANAGER AND WORKER NOTIFICATIONS

You can now navigate directly to a performance document from notifications to managers and workers. Instead of navigating to the Performance overview pages, the link in notifications to managers and workers is replaced with a link to the performance document. The manager and worker will be taken directly to their next available task or a read only version of a completed one, depending on the order of the tasks configured in the process flow.

Select the Link to Navigate Directly to the Performance Document

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The logic used to determine where the link in the notification navigates the manager or the worker to is the same as used for the performance document name link in the My Manager Evaluations and My Evaluation pages.Since the tasks to manage participant feedback and set next period goals can be performed concurrently with other tasks, the link in notifications when other tasks are completed doesn't navigate to these tasks. Managers and workers can access these tasks from the My Manager Evaluations and My Evaluation pages.Notifications sent to managers and workers from actions related to the task to manage participant feedback will continue to navigate to the manage participant feedback task.

RESEND STANDARD AND CRITICAL ALERTS

You can improve employee completion of performance evaluation tasks by resending standard and critical alert notifications, even after the task due date has passed. Select the tasks for which you want to enable repeat alerts in the performance template. Then enable the alerts only when required to avoid excessive notifications. Alerts will not be sent to employees who have completed the task.

To set up the notifications, you select the notifications in the performance template. On the Process tab, select either, or both, the and Repeat Standard Alert Until Task Completes Repeat Critical Alert Until Task

check boxes. Then you must run an Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Service process to send the Completesnotifications. Use the job to send the notifications, and set Send Performance Document Alert Notificationsthe schedule as appropriate for your business processes.

41

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

The notifications cease when the task is completed for the respective role or the performance document is completed.For tasks that aren't completed, you must turn off the notifications to prevent them from continuing even after the task is due. To turn off the notifications, you must either:

Deselect the options in the performance template and save the template.Turn off the Enterprise Scheduler Service process.

If you select the options to repeat both standard and critical alerts, workers and managers receive both. They receive notifications starting from the number of standard alert days before the task is due. Then they receive critical alerts starting from the number of critical alert days before the task is due. The notifications are sent according to the process job schedule.It is recommended that you set the process job to run daily for repeat notifications.You can select the repeated standard and critical alert notifications without entering days for the regular standard and critical alert notifications to set your own schedule.

PROFILE MANAGEMENT

Oracle Fusion Profile Management provides a common foundation for the Oracle Fusion talent suite of products and other Oracle Fusion applications to retrieve, insert, and update talent profile information. Profile Management also supports the HR specialists, line managers, matrix managers, and employees in performing critical HR talent functions. Managing people and job profiles, career planning functions, managing, and tracking talent data can be also done through Profile Management.

ABILITY TO CONFIGURE VISIBILITY OPTIONS FOR ANYTIME FEEDBACK NOTES

You can configure visibility options for Anytime Feedback notes to exclude roles that can see feedback and specify default values. With the new Manage Feedback Visibility task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, you can now override the existing defaults.

You can set feedback visibility options for the following contexts:

ORA_NO_CONTEXT: Used for feedback notes for a person in the person spotlight, person smart navigation, and elsewhere throughout Oracle Fusion applications.ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE: Used for feedback notes only for talent review meetings. Notes created in a talent review are visible as Feedback elsewhere in Oracle Fusion applications, but no Feedback created elsewhere appears in talent review meetings.

The options and descriptions for each visibility option are shown in the table.

Visibility Option Description

Everyone A public note visible to any person in the organization

Managers only Managers in the hierarchy of the worker about whom the Feedback is created

Managers and the workerManagers in the hierarchy of the worker, and the worker who receives the feedback

Only meA private note created by an author about the author or another person and visible only to the author

Use the new Manage Feedback Visibility Task to Specify the Visibility Options and Default Settings

You can edit the default value that appears in the Visibility choice list when a person creates feedback. If you select the No default option, no predefined option appears in the field. Feedback authors can select the available options whether a default is set or not.

STEPS TO ENABLE

No steps are required to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

HR specialists can view all feedback except that with the Only me visibility setting.Feedback visibility is also determined by data security; you can only see notes for people whom you have authorization to view.If you don't edit the visibility options or defaults, the predefined default settings apply.If you delete context settings, users can still add and view feedback, but you can no longer edit the context settings. When you delete feedback context settings, the following rules apply:

If you delete only ORA_NO_CONTEXT, the predefined default values for ORA_NO_CONTEXT applies for the person feedback. All visibility options are available, and the default setting is No default.If you delete only ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE, the ORA_NO_CONTEXT settings apply for both the person feedback and talent review feedback.If you delete both ORA_NO_CONTEXT and ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE, the predefined default values for ORA_NO_CONTEXT apply for both the person feedback and talent review feedback.

CONFIGURABLE EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS FOR ANYTIME FEEDBACK BASED ON REPORTS

You can now tailor Anytime Feedback notifications to your organization using Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Publisher reports. Use standard BI Publisher templates to configure Feedback manager and worker email notifications. You can modify the delivered templates to display information based on your business requirements and policies. You configure profile options to enable your customized report templates to take the place of the delivered notifications.

To customize the report templates, you download the templates from the BI Publisher server and use Microsoft Word to edit them. You upload the edited templates back to the BI Publisher server. The table shows the templates that are available for each business process, and the data models associated with each. For Anytime Feedback, use the following templates:

NoteSentToManager.rtfNoteSentToWorker.rtf

Both are associated with the data model: PersonNotesDM.

To specify the usage of BI Publisher reports rather than the default notifications, configure profile options using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The table shows the profile option codes that determine which business processes use BI Publisher templates for notifications, and the order the application checks to apply them.

TALENT REVIEW AND SUCCESSION MANAGEMENT

SUCCESSION MANAGEMENT

Using Oracle Fusion Succession Management, you can create succession plans to replace key personnel. Succession plans identify workers who are ready now or can develop the necessary skills, for jobs and positions that aren't currently vacant, ensuring, a smooth transition and help you to manage candidate development.

SUCCESSION AND TALENT POOL INFORMATION ON SUCCESSION PLANNING PAGE

You can simplify your succession information search in the person spotlight by viewing succession and talent pool information on one page. We moved the succession candidate and talent pool membership information from the Career Planning page to the Succession Planning page for one consolidated view.

On the Succession Planning page for a worker, you can now see the number of the succession plans in which the worker is a candidate, and the talent pools in which the person is a member. You must be the owner of the succession plans to see the count. For talent pools, you can see the count for any public plan and the private plans that you own. If you click the number, the names of the plans and pools appears.

You continue to see the number of succession plans that were created for the worker, along with a graphical representation of the total number of candidates for the plans for each readiness category.
