Introducing Career Management Activities
Oracle Human Resources is a radically different human resource application. Using conventional applications, performance management activities are often carried inconsistently across the enterprise. For example, the recruitment function may perform psychometric tests that define personal skills and behavior in one way, while the appraisal scheme uses an internally agreed but different definition of skills, and training classes record licenses and qualifications in another. Not only is this costly to your enterprise, but it also means that your human resource activities are carried out inconsistently.
What distinguishes Oracle Human Resources is that it's built upon the emerging disciplines of performance management and the competence approach. This gives a single, unified model and language for traditionally different activities (such as appraisals, assessment, recording accomplishments, and such). By using this one approach, you can:
- operate more effectively at work
- perform key human resource management processes consistently across the enterprise
- achieve clearly defined business goals within a common framework
In this section, you'll learn about the competence approach, and other key concepts and terms. Once you have an understanding of the concepts, you'll be able to take full advantage of Oracle Human Resources easy-to-use tools to improve the capacity of your human resources to meet enterprise goals and objectives.
