Oracle is adding AI agents to Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM in an effort to automate HR tasks and improve employee productivity.
Oracle has added new AI agents to Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM). The tools should help organizations automate HR tasks and improve employee productivity. The AI agents support processes such as career development, time tracking and onboarding.
Automation of HR tasks
The AI agents in Oracle Cloud HCM provide support for various workforce processes. They help employees with career development, according to Oracle, by recommending career paths and learning paths, among other things. In addition, they support setting and achieving performance goals.
For administrative tasks, there are agents that automate timekeeping, clarify tax withholding and help managers with salary decisions. Leave management and company benefits can also be managed more efficiently using the AI tools, Oracle said.
In the area of workforce management, AI agents support new employees in their onboarding process. They can help internal job seekers find new opportunities within the organization and provide guidance on contract management and personal record keeping.
Everything AI
The AI agents are integrated into Oracle Cloud HCM, which is part of the Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite. This platform provides a central place for HR data and uses AI to improve workforce management.
Built-in AI should help HR teams with data analysis and process automation, making business processes more efficient. Like all software companies today, Oracle wants to integrate AI into its portfolio.
Targeted deployment
Such integrations should provide greater efficiency, it sounds. Moreover, by cramming AI into the portfolio, companies are showing that they are keeping up with the hype. In theory, smart algorithms can support employees well, if targeted.
It is not always easy for users to still see the forest for the trees. Parties such as Microsoft and Google taint the AI debate, for example, by ramming AI down the throats of users, added value or not. This threatens to give the technology a bad name.
