Configurable Workflow and

Approvals

Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (HR) allows your workforce

to update and use employee-specific information, online via a

browser, that is personalized to an individual's role, experience,

work content, language, and information needs. By allowing

managers and employees to access and manage information and

transactions in a paperless environment, you can streamline business

processes, decrease costs, and improve service. With managers and

employees empowered to update and maintain their own

information, HR professionals can now move from being transaction

processors to being consultative partners.

Use Talent Profile to provide a Single place for Employee Information

and Personnel actions

Managers and workers are presented with a talent profile page wherein they can

view worker details like Employment Details, Contact Details, Competencies,

Appraisals, Job History, Previous Employment, Certifications, Trainings Attended

and Career Path on a single page. Workers have access to their own data only,

whereas managers have access to their workers’ information. Managers and

workers can also perform real-time updates to information and directly launch

manager\employee self-service actions from the talent profile homepage.

Managers can arrive at informed decisions and coordinated actions using the

comprehensive information available in the talent profile. The self-service actions

performed by managers on employees can be initiated from the common employee

profile page thus making the process simplified without having to navigate back and

forth across functions. Managers can also print the employee talent profile.

Empower Line Managers with Talent Profile and Personnel Actions

Many of the employee oriented HR transactions are driven by the Line Management

decisions. Enterprises can empower line managers with this Oracle Self-service HR

system. Managers can now perform many day-to-day operational deployment

processes, such as hire employees and applicants, transfer or promote employees,

change grade step and grade point, change pay rates, process terminations, rehire ex-

employees and locate suitably skilled people for new job openings. The Suitability

Matching feature enables managers to find suitable candidates for a work

opportunity. The Suitability Matching module compares and matches a workers’

competencies against competencies required by a job, position or vacancy.

Oracle Self-Service HR uses Oracle Workflow throughout its design to streamline

inter-user approvals and participation in review processes. You can configure any

process using Oracle Workflow that requires routing to other users for review,

approval and finalization.

Integration with Oracle Approvals Management, a rules based approvals engine

facilitates robust management of pre-authorized approval chains for the self-service

business processes.

Engage Employees using Employee Self Service

An enterprise is more effective when its people are motivated to update information

that is relevant to their career and work, resulting in improved data accuracy. This is

also important to enable HR organizations to improve workforce service delivery

and improve satisfaction. Oracle Self-Service HR enables workers to manage their

own information. Using self-service pages, employees can choose benefits options,

view pay slips, enroll in learning, enter timesheets, track performance objectives,

perform self-assessments, indicate work preferences, enter competencies, view leave

accrual balances, request leave and apply for jobs.

They can update their personal information such as emergency contacts and

beneficiaries, and maintain information for accurate benefits eligibility or taxation,

as well as view their Total Compensation Statements. Employees can also enter

their private vehicle information, and see company vehicles assigned to them, as

well as share employment and salary information with verifiers, for loans and

various other needs. They can also view and update their Talent Profile, including

adding search tags or adding qualifications and accomplishments.

Oracle Self-Service HR enables you to cut the costs of HR transactions and increase

the accuracy of transactional data.

Optimize HR Effort by reducing Data Maintenance for HR Professionals

Oracle Self-Service HR enables HR Professionals to view and manage workforce

activities with ease. Oracle Self-Service HR enables you to free your HR

Professionals from data maintenance activities and allows them to focus on HR

programs, consultation and strategic initiatives. Oracle Self-service HR can also be

configured to provide access to employee information relevant for HR Professionals

and also perform relevant personnel actions. HR Professionals can also administer

grade step progression, release people information to interested parties and perform

suitability matching.

Configurable to Support your Global Organization

Enterprises can improve efficiency by configuring applications to address the

organization’s needs. Oracle Self-Service HR is a highly extensible and configurable

application enabling you to configure content, labels, links, and logos, to match your

corporate identity. You can include corporate knowledge repositories, HR policies,

or external links such as benefits providers. You can configure HR business

processes for different user groups (for example, hide or show different regions of

the application, or fields of a transaction). You can omit process steps in an HR

transaction that may not be relevant for your business, or choose to display your

own configured fields to capture information that is unique to your organization.

Special Information Types and Extra Information Types in Oracle Self-Service HR

provide the flexibility to set up unlimited amounts of extra information on people,

assignment, location, job, position and organization. Special Information Types can

be used to store additional information about jobs, positions, skills and people that

are otherwise not captured by the system. The information can be captured as a

standalone process, integrated with self-service action flow or personal information

flow.

Figure 2: Extra Information Types

A global enterprise must be sure that all human resource transactions comply with

the requirements of each local area. Oracle Self-Service HR ensures that local

legislative information is incorporated into personnel transactions such as transfers

or terminations. Also, Oracle Self-Service HR supports local formats such as

address, bank information, dates, and numbers.

A Common Approach to Security and Global Information

A common approach to security and global information reduces the cost of

maintaining secure access by automating security changes as an employee joins the

business, or moves around the organization. Oracle Self-Service HR shares data

input and security features with Oracle HRMS. When a user enters information, it is

validated behind the scenes, using our open applications program interfaces (APIs),

to ensure it is always accurate and consistent.
