HR Teams now have a completed view "from hire to retire" and AI tools to help provide insight into the process.

HR professionals are tasked with keeping up with employee data from their hire date until they leave the company, Oracle now has capabilities to help with that.

In a press release, Oracle announced new capabilities called Activity Centers, that are designed to help employees, managers, and specialists track and increase productivity. Specifically, Oracle says these Activity Centers "provide information and tools to help increase job effectiveness and impact through a centralized action-focused hub that is tailored to each individual and their roles and responsibilities."

The Activity Centers are currently available in four areas: Employee Activity Centers, Team Activity Centers, Recruiting Activity Centers, and Payroll Activity Centers. Each area is designed specifically for the employee, manager, or specialist in that area to produce KPIs, insights, tasks, communications, and other actions.

"To keep pace with changing business priorities, employees need easy-to-use tools that allow them to work with speed and accuracy, while focusing on the tasks that matter most within their role," said Chris Leone, executive vice president, applications development, Oracle. "With role-specific Activity Center user experiences, Oracle Cloud HCM users are empowered with quick access to insights, actions, and tools that increase productivity, accelerate HR processes, improve the employee experience, and foster organization-wide growth."

Activity Centers also have an AI component that Oracle says can "make recommendations and alter settings to help focus users on what matters most."

Activity Centers are available through Oracle's Human Capital Management (HCM). You can request a demo through the company's website.
