Talent Profile Functionality in Oracle SSHR

Talent Profile in Oracle SSHR

The Talent Profile feature of Oracle SSHR helps enterprises to obtain a complete picture of the talent profile of their workforce to manage and execute their talent processes. Talent Profile captures and displays complete worker talent details on a single-interface enabling enterprises to attract, develop, and retain the best talent.

Note: Oracle Self-Service HR provides you with a minimal Talent Profile function to only view the talent profiles of your workforce. The Performance Matrix (9-box) that is available on the Oracle SSHR Talent Profile page of a worker enables manager to view the performance profile of the selected worker only.

Enterprises require Oracle Succession Planning license to:

Talent Profile Features

Enterprises can use the following Talent Profile features to develop and manage succession plans for their workforce:

View Complete Talent Information

Talent Profile displays worker information such as personal information, photograph, contact information, and employment details. Talent Profile obtains relevant data from talent management products and presents the information in the following regions:

View Details and Process Manager Actions for Multiple Assignments

Managers can view details and perform manager actions for multiple assignments of an employee or worker in their hierarchy, if the subordinate has more than one assignment. Managers can perform these actions for multiple assignments only if the Multiple Assignments feature is enabled and the appropriate security access is setup.

View 9-Box Matrixes

Managers can view the performance profile of a worker in the Performance Matrix (9 - Box) that indicates performance and growth potential.

You can compare a worker's:

Enterprises can define the performance, potential, and retention rating scales according to their business requirements.

Note: Oracle Applications Development Framework (ADF)-based default templates are used to display nine box matrixes. Implementation steps must be completed to view the nine box matrixes.

Print Talent Profiles

Managers can print talent profiles of workers. The application provides a default print option with all the configured regions. Managers have the flexibility to select required talent profile regions and print a custom view of the talent profile.

Maintain Notes

Workers and managers can create and update notes to record important information about their talent profile such as notes about appraisals or learning plans.

Create and Use Tags

Workers and managers can create tags that are similar to keywords. Tags help categorize and group talent. Workers can create tags that match their individual profiles. Managers can create tags that match with the talent profiles of their workers.

Perform Self-Service Actions

Managers and workers can perform self-service actions. For example, when a manager views the talent profile of a worker, the manager can change the pay of the worker by selecting the Change Pay self-service action directly from the Talent Profile page.

Managers can use Talent Profile to launch personal actions or manager actions. These personal actions or manager actions are launched in a new page in the Personal Actions tab or the Manager Actions tab respectively. The page that is launched when a manager initiates a personal action or manager action has a side navigator that helps managers to process and complete multiple self-service transactions for themselves or for workers in their hierarchy without leaving the page. Workers can use Talent Profile to launch personal actions. The personal action selected, is launched in the Personal Actions tab. The side navigator available on this page helps workers to complete multiple self-service personal actions without leaving the page.

Use Talent Profile Based on Role Requirements

As managers and workers have different business requirements, Talent Profile delivers views based on their roles. For example, only managers can view the Succession Plan and Performance Matrix (9-box).

Use Flexible Search Options to Search for Talent Profiles

Managers can directly search for the worker whose talent profile they want to view with out having to navigate through the entire hierarchy. The search displays the talent profile of the selected worker. Horizontal links display the complete hierarchical relationship of the worker and the manager. A saved view of recently viewed profiles helps managers to return to recent records without having to perform the search again. The application saves the recently viewed profiles only for that specific session.

Key Concepts

The following topics provide conceptual and procedural information about using Talent Profile:

Using Talent Profile as Managers in Oracle SSHR

When managers navigate to the Talent Profile page, the page displays their own talent information. The Talent Profile page of a worker provides managers with information required for succession planning. To view talent profiles of workers in their hierarchy, managers can select a worker either from the hierarchy list or quick search region.

Note: Currently, Talent Profile supports only supervisor hierarchy.

As a manager, when you navigate to the Talent Profile page of a worker, you can:

Note: Managers who are contingent workers can access Talent Profiles of employees and contingent workers reporting to them using the Manager Self-Service responsibility provided the profile option HR: Expand Role of Contingent Worker is set to Yes. For contingent workers, certain regions such as Salary, Benefits, Monetary Compensation, and Compensation Statement may not be available to view.

View Worker Details

You can view employment details such as the organization, job, position, supervisor, and the hire date. The contact details include address, phone numbers, and e-mail address. You can also view a photograph of the worker, if available. If the worker has added tags to the profile, then you can view the tags.

View Details and Process Manager Actions for Multiple Assignments

Managers can view details and perform manager actions for multiple assignments of an employee or worker in their hierarchy, if the subordinate has more than one assignment. In the Assignment field, select the assignment of a worker to view details and perform the appropriate manager actions. Employment details and the talent profile information presented in the talent regions vary depending on the assignment that you select. Managers can perform these actions for multiple assignments only if the Multiple Assignments feature is enabled and the appropriate security access is setup.

View Talent Information Presented in Different Regions

This section lists the talent regions that managers can view for their workers.

Note: Your enterprise may display all the regions or hide some of the regions according to the business needs and processes.

The bar graph is a column chart where the x-axis shows the appraisal period end date and the y-axis shows the appraisal rating of the worker and the total rating value. You can easily distinguish the rating of the worker and the total rating value as the bar graph uses different color codes. Talent Profile displays information only from appraisals that are given an overall rating, regardless of whether the appraisals are created using the Appraisals function or appraisals are created as part of performance management plans. The bar graph displays information for five appraisals.

Note: Talent Profile does not display information from self appraisals.

Click the More link to navigate to the View Appraisals page for more information on the worker's appraisals. On the View Appraisals page, you can view completed and in progress appraisals.

2. Set up the Talent Profile Regions

Talent Profile displays talent information in individual regions. As managers and workers have different business requirements, Talent Profile delivers views based on their roles. For example, only managers can view the Succession Plans region.

By default, Talent Profile displays a set of regions for workers and managers, called Employee View and Manager View. Each of the regions is assigned a region code and a sub-function with the same name as the region code. The sub-functions for each of the regions control the security of the region. These sub-functions determine whether the application can display that region in the particular profile view or not.

When a user logs in to Talent Profile, the application determines whether the user is a worker or manager. Then, the application checks whether the corresponding worker or manager sub-function for the view is granted. If the function is granted, then the application will display the region for the worker or manager.

3. Configuring the More Links in the Talent Profile Regions

The Talent Profile page regions provide a More link using which managers can navigate to the relevant self-service pages of workers. For example, when a manager clicks the More in the Qualifications region, the application displays the worker's Qualifications page. Similarly, when workers view their own Talent Profile page, they can navigate to the self-service pages using the More link. Talent Profile delivers predefined More links for manager and employee views using the following sub-functions:

You can configure the More links to display different application pages instead of the default configured pages. Each region has a predefined unique code defined for More links. This code is different from the region codes. The region codes are used for security of the regions. The More link code is used to specify the destination page when the More link is clicked. Note: If you do not want users to navigate to any application page from the More link, then you must leave the parameter value blank.

To map the More link code to the destination function, navigate to the Form Functions window. Query the Talent Profile form function that you have set up. Click the Form Tab region and configure the Parameter as follows:

MoreLinkMapMgr=<user defined sub-function name>&MoreLinkMapEmp=<userdefined sub-function name>, for example: MoreLinkMapMgr=HR_TP_MGR_MORE_LINK&MoreLinkMapEmp=HR_TP_EMP_MORE_LINK

The two parameters: MoreLinkMapMgr and MoreLinkMapEmp derive the destination for the More links. The value for both these parameters is a user defined sub-function. These sub-functions contain the mapping of region More link code to the destination function.

The following sections provide information about the predefined parameters supplied with the HR_TP_EMP_MORE_LINK and HR_TP_MGR_MORE_LINK sub-functions.

You can display EIT, SIT, and custom content on the Talent Profile page, see:

Note: The EIT, SIT, and custom content regions do not support More links.

4. Grant the Custom Menus or Add the Custom Menus to the Responsibility

To enable managers and workers to use the Talent Profile features, you must grant the custom Talent Profile menus to the Oracle SSHR responsibilities assigned to the users. You can grant the custom menus using the Functional Administrator responsibility. Grants enable managers and workers to access the Talent Profile functions. For information on creating grants and using permission sets, see: Grants and Permissions Sets (Oracle E-Business Suite System Administrator's Guide - Security)

You can also add the custom menus to the Oracle SSHR responsibilities assigned to the users using the System Administrator responsibility

Completing the Configuration Steps for Talent Profile in SSHR

After you set up Talent Profile, you carry out the following configuration steps:

Define Lookups for 9-Box Matrixes

Using Talent Profile, managers can assess workers' potential, performance, and retention.

The Performance Matrix displays performance profile of the worker using the following matrices:

To assess workers' performance, potential, and retention using the 9-box matrixes, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Define Lookup Types Required for Talent Profile

    Define the following lookup types to assess performance, potential, and retention:

    • PERFORMANCE_RATING: Indicates the performance rating of a worker, such as, Excellent, Average, and Poor.

    • PER_SUCC_PLAN_POTENTIAL: Indicates the succession potential of a worker and promotion to the next higher role, such as Emergency Stand-In and Promotion in 1 Year. The Succession Potential segment of the Employee Career Management Information person EIT uses values defined in this lookup.

    • PER_SUCC_PLAN_RISK_LEVEL: Indicates the retention potential of a worker, such as High, Medium, and Low. This lookup stores the values for the Turnover Rate segment of the Job Career Management Information and Position Career Management Information EITs. The Risk of Loss segment of the Employee Career Management Information person EIT also uses this lookup values.

    If these lookups have already been defined, then you must verify that the information meets your business requirements.

    For information how to add lookup values, see: Adding Lookup Types and Values, Oracle HRMS Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide

  2. Define Lookup Types for 9-box Matrixes

    To display values in 9-box matrixes, you must add values to the following lookup types. When adding the lookup values, you must specify the code so that the application can display the relevant rating for a worker in the 9-box. If you do not enter the code, then the 9-box does not display the rating. Define a maximum of three codes on a scale of 1 to 3.

    • PER_9_BOX_LEVEL

      This lookup type is used to display the performance rating for a worker. The following table provides an example of how you can define lookup values for PER_9_BOX_LEVEL.

      Code Meaning Description
      1 Needs Performance is significantly below the required level.
      2 Meets Performance is good and in-line with job requirements.
      3 Exceeds Worker has exceeded the required level of performance.

    • PER_POTENTIAL_9_BOX_LEVEL

      Indicates the potential level of workers such as limited, growth, and high. The following table provides an example of how you can define lookup values for PER_POTENTIAL_9_BOX_LEVEL:

      Code Meaning Description
      1 Limited Worker shows little or no potential to move to the next work level.
      2 Meets Worker shows potential to advance to the next or higher work level.
      3 Exceeds Worker has requisite skills and expertise and exhibits leadership qualities.

    • PER_RETENTION_9_BOX_LEVEL

      Indicates the retention prospects of workers such as low, medium, and high. The following table provides an example of how you can define lookup values for PER_RETENTION_9_BOX_LEVEL:

      Code Meaning Description
      1 Low Risk of losing the worker is high.
      2 Medium Risk of losing the worker is moderate.
      3 High Risk of losing the worker is minimal.

  3. Define mapping between Talent Profile and 9-box lookups

    The various matrixes do not directly use the lookup codes that you define in Step 1. The matrixes display ratings on a scale of 1-3 only using the 9-box lookup codes. To correctly represent workers' performance, potential, and retention dimensions, you must map the talent profile lookup codes to the 9-box look up codes.

    Use the following table to identify the 9-box lookup type that is associated with a talent profile lookup type:

    Talent Profile Lookup Type 9-Box Lookup Type
    PERFORMANCE_RATING PER_9_BOX_LEVEL
    PER_SUCC_PLAN_POTENTIAL PER_POTENTIAL_9_BOX_LEVEL
    PER_SUCC_PLAN_RISK_LEVEL PER_RETENTION_9_BOX_LEVEL

    The following example looks at why you must map a talent profile lookup type to a 9-box lookup type:

    In your enterprise, you have defined the following values for the PERFORMANCE_RATING lookup type to assess performance of workers:

    1. Below Average

    2. Average

    3. Sastisfactory

    4. Good

    5. Excellent

    6. Outstanding

    You have defined the following values for the PER_9_BOX_LEVEL lookup to represent performance in the 9-box matrix:

    Code Meaning Description
    1 Needs Performance is significantly below the required level.
    2 Meets Performance is good and in-line with job requirements.
    3 Exceeds Worker has exceeded the required level of performance.

    As the application uses only three levels in a 9-box, you must map the six PERFORMANCE_RATING lookup values to the three PER_9_BOX_LEVEL codes using the User Types and Statuses window.

    You can define the following mapping:

    PERFORMANCE_RATING values Mapped to PER_9_BOX_LEVEL
    Below Average
    Average    		 1: Needs
    Satisfactory
    Good    		 2: Meets
    Excellent
    Outstanding    		 3: Exceeds

    Follow these steps to define mapping between talent profile and 9-box lookups:

    1. Navigate to the User Types and Statuses window.

    2. Select a lookup type, for example, PERFORMANCE_RATING.

    3. In the System Type field, select the lookup value that you want to extend. For example, select the Satisfactory system type.

    4. Enter a description of the new user type or status. For example, enter Meets as a description.

    5. Enter a code for the new user type or status. For example, enter 2.

    6. Click the Further Info field. The Share Type Information window appears.

    7. Select the 9 Box level that the user status applies to.

    8. Repeat the steps to map the PERFORMANCE_RATING 'Good' value with the PER_9_BOX_LEVEL value 'Meets'.

    9. Save your work.

    See: Creating User Types and Statuses, Oracle HRMS Configuring, Reporting, and System Administration Guide

Configure the Quick Search and Hierarchy Regions

By default, the Talent Profile page displays two regions: Quick Search and Hierarchy that managers can use to navigate between talent profiles of workers. These regions are configurable and can be removed from the Talent Profile page.

The following sections explain the regions and how you can configure them.

Configuring the Quick Search Region

The Quick Search region displays two search options:

To display the region, you must grant the HR_TP_VIEW_GBL_SEARCH_SS function to the user.

Details of the Function

Configuring the Hierarchy Bean

The hierarchy bean appears at the top of the profile below the Quick Search region. The hierarchy bean lists the workers in the supervisor hierarchy of the logged in user.

To display the hierarchy bean, you must the grant the HR_TP_VIEW_PER_HIERARCHY_SS function to the user.

Details of the Function

Configure the Region Icon in the Talent Profile Regions

All the Talent Profile regions display icons that indicate the regions content in a graphical representation. You can add the required icons using the Personalization function. Each region is shared region and a separate XML document. Place the icons that are going to be used in the Talent Profile Regions in the OA_Media folder.

Locate the region icon item and navigate to the PhotoCellRN page element. The Photo item of PhotoCellRN is an image type item. This item has an Image URI property, which is set to a blank image, by default. To display another image, personalize this property to point to the required image to be used on the region by starting with '/OA_Media/' followed by the icon file name of the icon being used for this region.

Display Regions on the Talent Profile page

Display regions on the Talent Profile page to view additional person specific details:

Note: The EIT, SIT, and custom content regions do not support More links.

Configure the Print Profile Default XML Template, if Required

Oracle Succession Planning delivers the Single Person Profile Template (PEREMPTP) to print the talent profile of a worker.

The predefined Single Person Profile Template (PEREMPTP) is available to print the talent profile of a worker.

You can create custom print profile templates based on your business requirements. Your custom print profile template must be based on the predefined Single Person Profile Template (PEREMPTP). Whenever you create a custom template to generate the Printable Profile (Full) report, you must set the custom template code as the value of the 'FullProfileTemplateCode' parameter value in the relevant Talent Profile launch function so that the application uses the custom print profile template.

To create and use a custom template of the Printable Profile (Full) report, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility.

  2. Create a XML template based on the predefined PEREMPTP template. For example, name the custom template as Custom template for Talent Profile and code as PEREMPTPCUST.

  3. Navigate to the Form Functions window using the System Administrator responsibility.

  4. Query the relevant Talent Profile launch function to which you want to add the custom print profile template. For example, query the Talent Profile (HR_TALENTPROFILE_SS) function.

  5. Click the Form tab. You view the existing parameter definitions.

  6. Add the following parameter:

    FullProfileTemplateCode=PEREMPTPCUST

    Important: The parameter value must be same as the code of the custom template that you created in the earlier step.

  7. Save your work.

Configuring the Action Links in the Side Navigation Container

Managers and workers can process multiple self-service transactions effectively and with minimum navigation using the action links in a side navigator. The side navigator appears in a separate page when they select an Action in the Talent Profile page.

The manager or personal actions that appear in the side navigation container are driven by the following menus:

Important: The manager and personal actions whether launched from Self-Service Manager Actions, Personal Actions, Organization Chart or Talent Profile are the same. As some of the self-service functions are not supported in the side navigation container, there would be a mismatch between functions in the side navigation container and the drop-down list available in Talent Profile.

Configuration Guidelines for the Side Navigator

The SSHR Side Bar Menu (HR_SS_SIDEBAR) and SSHR Emp Side Bar Menu (HR_SS_EMP_SIDEBAR) contain a list of predefined supported functions including global and localization specific. During implementation, you can remove those functions that are not applicable to your legislation using the "function exclusion" feature available in the Responsibility window of the System Administrator responsibility.

Enabling Managers to View and Perform Manager Actions for Multiple Assignments

Using Talent Profile, managers can view and perform manager actions for multiple assignments of an employee or worker in their hierarchy, if the subordinate has more than one assignment. If you wish to enable your managers to view and update multiple assignments for employees and workers, you can use the HR: Enable Multiple Assignments in SSHR system profile to allow this. See the Multiple Assignments section in the User Access and Security in Oracle SSHR topic.

    • ##PERSON_ID## - Person ID of the currently viewed worker's profile

    • ##PRIMARY_ASSIGNMENT_ID## - Assignment ID of the currently viewed worker's profile

    • ##LOGIN_PERSON_ID## - Person ID of the logged in worker who is a manager

    • ##BUSINESS_GROUP_ID## - Business group ID of the currently viewed worker

    • ##EFFECTIVE_DATE## - Effective date in the format “YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS”

    Following rules apply when you create a database view:

    1. Views can be based on any database table.

    2. Create an alias starting with 'D_' or 'd_' for the view columns that you want to display on the Talent Profile page.

    3. Use the HR_TP_NAME_TRANSLATIONS lookup type to create a lookup for each column that is created as an alias in the previous step. The lookup code must be the same as the column alias. Provide a user friendly value in the Meaning column as this value appears as the column header in the custom region of the Talent Profile page.

      Example of Lookup Codes

      Code Meaning
      D_FULL_NAME Full Name
      D_PARTY_ID Party Identifier

  3. Write a SQL statement to retrieve data from the database view.
