Capable of consolidating data from all countries and providing access to any employee information across locations but poor user experience
Oracle HCM Cloud definitely has a lot to improve from a user experience perspective. The platform is huge and feature-rich, but is it truly appealing to an end user? Is it a two-click solution? Does it match current market trends in user experience? No, it has a lot of catching up to do. For example, is the screen catchy for an employee to see their details or access essential information? No. The user experience is zero. An employee needs training to apply for leave, something as simple as that. They shouldn't need training materials or user guides to navigate the system. We're moving towards empowering users, especially with end-user-facing systems. People should be self-reliant and not need to rely on manuals. Oracle HCM Cloud is very old-school in this regard. It's still stuck in the "PeopleSoft" mentality instead of focusing on a user-friendly experience for employees and managers. So, the user experience needs a major overhaul. So, to summarize, it needs to be more user-friendly and present key information on the login screen. In future releases, I would like to see employee dashboards. Oracle HCM should come up with ready-made employee dashboards, like very simple ones. Right now, an employee dashboard or a manager dashboard, but these should be readily available. You shouldn't expect a customer to go and design something they need. There are a few basic things any employee or manager in any company would want to see. One of the best things would be a very simple org chart. Now, the org chart is quite poor on Oracle. There are applications that focus only on org charts and look really good, giving a lot of details about a team and its employees. But Oracle's org chart is bad, so to be specific, they should improve it a lot.
