Oracle Fusion Cloud Core HR 25A

Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM’s Core HR module in the 25A release continues to serve as the foundational backbone for managing employee data and HR processes, with updates enhancing usability, compliance, and intelligence. Below is a detailed look at its key features and what’s new in 25A:

Key Features of Core HR in 25A

• Global HR Management:

• Centralized repository for employee records, supporting multi-country operations with localized compliance (e.g., tax, labor laws).
• Configurable work structures for jobs, positions, grades, and departments, adaptable to diverse organizational needs.
• Enhanced support for global person records, including multi-language capabilities and regional data formats.

• Employee and Manager Self-Service:

• Employees can update personal details (e.g., address, emergency contacts), view payslips, and manage life events via a mobile app or desktop.
• Managers can approve requests, view team data, and manage workforce changes (e.g., transfers, promotions) in real time.
• 25A introduces a refreshed Redwood UI, improving navigation and adding natural language search for quicker access to tasks.

• Workforce Directory:

• A dynamic org chart with drill-down views of hierarchies, roles, and reporting lines.
• New in 25A: Enhanced search filters (e.g., by skill, location) and visual indicators for open positions or interim assignments.

Single Data Model:

• Unified data across HR, payroll, and financials ensures consistency and eliminates silos.
• 25A improves data sync speed and audit tracking for compliance-sensitive changes (e.g., salary updates).

Employment Lifecycle Management:

• Tools to manage hiring, promotions, transfers, terminations, and rehires with configurable workflows.
• New AI Agent Task Type in Guided Journeys: Automates routine updates (e.g., contract renewals) with AI-driven suggestions.

What’s New in 25A for Core HR

• Generative AI Enhancements:

• Over 50 role-based AI agents are introduced across HCM, with Core HR benefiting from agents like:
• Employee Data Assistant: Helps HR staff or employees update records conversationally (e.g., “Change my address to…”).
• Compliance Checker: Flags potential regulatory issues during data entry (e.g., missing mandatory fields for a region).

These agents integrate with self-service portals, reducing manual HR intervention.

• Guided Journeys Updates:

• New AI-driven task types allow for smarter workflows. For example, a “New Hire Data Entry” journey can auto-populate fields based on prior inputs or suggest next steps.
• Improved personalization for life events (e.g., marriage, relocation) with tailored checklists.

Compliance and Security:

• Updated rules engine to reflect 2025 global regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA enhancements).
• Enhanced role-based access controls with finer granularity for sensitive data.
