Enhancements to the Grow Page

Leverage the new enhancements in Grow to organize and present information better and improve the overall user experience. These enhancements include the following changes:

Preferences Side Panel

The button, Explore your career path, is now renamed to Know your role to accurately reflect the content of the page that appears. On this page, you’ll first see the job- or position-based details for your role. You’ll also see the career progression path (based on the job path) and see role-specific details for each career in that path.

The Careers of Interest link will take you to the new Career Development experience in Opportunity Marketplace, if you’ve enabled it using the profile option, ORA_HCM_OPP_MARKET_PLACE_CAREER_ROLES. For more information, refer to the 24D What’s New feature, Enhanced Career Role Details Page.

Grow Communicate Banner

A new banner appears on top of the Grow page to communicate any recent career development or upskilling campaigns that are configured by the HR Specialist or your leadership. These banners are configured using HCM Communicate for a specific audience. You’ll see the banner if you’re part of this audience.

Excel in Your Role Tab

The swim lanes on this tab have undergone the following changes:

• Suggested learning for you – This is now replaced with these two swim lanes:
  • Skills assigned by your manager – Displays resources for skills that your manager has assigned to you to fill skill gaps. You’ll see one or more tabs depending on how many skills your manager has assigned.  Each tab represents a skill, and the cards that appear below are the learning resources that can help you close the gap.
  • Resources to meet job requirements – Displays learning resources to help fill gaps in skills and qualifications defined for your job or position profile by Human Resources. Each tab represents a skill or qualification where you have a gap, and the cards that appear below are the learning resources that can help you close the gap.

Note: The display of these two swim lanes is controlled by a profile option as explained in the section, Visibility of Swim Lanes.

Manager-Assigned Skills and Organization-Defined Role Skills

• Current development journeys – This has been renamed to Your current development journeys.
• Development journeys that might interest you – This swim lane has been removed, since the journeys displayed in it were redundant with another swim lane. 
• Your current learning – This swim lane has been moved down in the order, after Resources to meet job requirements. 
• Suggested learning for your skills – This swim lane has been moved to the Grow Your Career tab and renamed to Skills you're developing to grow your career.

Grow Your Career Tab

The following swim lanes on this tab have undergone the following changes:

• Skills you're developing to grow your career - This appears first in the order, and it displays learning suggestions for one or more of these skills:
  • Skills you’re interested in and have assigned to yourself
  • Skills that aren't marked as required by your manager
  • Skills that aren’t marked as required for your current role
• Suggested learning for your careers of interest – This is now replaced with separate swim lanes for each career role you’ve added as your favorites. These swim lanes now titled Skills and qualifications for the {CAREER_OF_INTEREST} role. For example, if you’re interested in the Security Engineer role, it’ll read as Skills and qualifications for the Security Engineer role. Learning suggestions displayed in these swim lanes help you fill skills or qualifications gaps to qualify for your favorite roles.

Expanded Cards

When you hover over a learning recommendation, it appears as an expanded card with additional information about the learning item, a Get Started button, and a more information icon.

Visibility of Swim Lanes

You can hide or show the following swim lanes using the profile option, ORA_WLF_ENABLE_GROW_RECOMMENDATIONS.

Tab	Swim Lane
Excel in your current role	Skills assigned by your manager
	Resources to meet job requirements
Grow your career	Skills and qualifications for the {CAREER_OF_INTEREST} role

By default, this profile option is set to N. When you set it to Y, the above swim lanes appear when these conditions are met:

• Learning recommendations must be set up using the Recommendation Profiles application (available under My Client Groups).
• As an outcome of the above setup, there must be learning recommendations to display for the logged in user.

If the profile option is set to Y and there are no learning recommendations to display, the above swim lanes won’t appear. If the profile option is set to N and if data is set up for these swim lanes using the Scheduled Processes task, the previous swim lane titles will appear instead of the new titles:

• The Suggested learning for you swim lane will appear instead of the two new swim lanes: Skills assigned by your manager and Resources to meet job requirements.
• Suggested learning for your careers of interest will appear instead of Skills and qualifications for the {CAREER_OF_INTEREST} role.

All other swim lanes will continue to appear if they have data to display. They aren’t controlled by this profile option.

These features simplify and streamline the organization of information, thereby enhancing the usability of the Grow page.
