Talent Profile in Oracle SSHR

The Talent Profile feature of Oracle SSHR helps enterprises to obtain a complete picture of the talent profile of their workforce to manage and execute their talent processes. Talent Profile captures and displays complete worker talent details on a single-interface enabling enterprises to attract, develop, and retain the best talent.

Note: Oracle Self-Service HR provides you with a minimal Talent Profile function to only view the talent profiles of your workforce. The Performance Matrix (9-box) that is available on the Oracle SSHR Talent Profile page of a worker enables manager to view the performance profile of the selected worker only.

Talent Profile Features

Enterprises can use the following Talent Profile features to develop and manage succession plans for their workforce:

View Complete Talent Information

Talent Profile displays worker information such as personal information, photograph, contact information, and employment details. Talent Profile obtains relevant data from talent management products and presents the information in the following regions:

View Details and Process Manager Actions for Multiple Assignments

Managers can view details and perform manager actions for multiple assignments of an employee or worker in their hierarchy, if the subordinate has more than one assignment. Managers can perform these actions for multiple assignments only if the Multiple Assignments feature is enabled and the appropriate security access is setup.

View 9-Box Matrixes

Managers can view the performance profile of a worker in the Performance Matrix (9 - Box) that indicates performance and growth potential.

You can compare a worker's:

Enterprises can define the performance, potential, and retention rating scales according to their business requirements.

Note: Oracle Applications Development Framework (ADF)-based default templates are used to display nine box matrixes. Implementation steps must be completed to view the nine box matrixes.

Print Talent Profiles

Managers can print talent profiles of workers. The application provides a default print option with all the configured regions. Managers have the flexibility to select required talent profile regions and print a custom view of the talent profile.

Maintain Notes

Workers and managers can create and update notes to record important information about their talent profile such as notes about appraisals or learning plans.

Create and Use Tags

Workers and managers can create tags that are similar to keywords. Tags help categorize and group talent. Workers can create tags that match their individual profiles. Managers can create tags that match with the talent profiles of their workers.

Perform Self-Service Actions

Managers and workers can perform self-service actions. For example, when a manager views the talent profile of a worker, the manager can change the pay of the worker by selecting the Change Pay self-service action directly from the Talent Profile page.

Managers can use Talent Profile to launch personal actions or manager actions. These personal actions or manager actions are launched in a new page in the Personal Actions tab or the Manager Actions tab respectively. The page that is launched when a manager initiates a personal action or manager action has a side navigator that helps managers to process and complete multiple self-service transactions for themselves or for workers in their hierarchy without leaving the page. Workers can use Talent Profile to launch personal actions. The personal action selected, is launched in the Personal Actions tab. The side navigator available on this page helps workers to complete multiple self-service personal actions without leaving the page.

Use Talent Profile Based on Role Requirements

As managers and workers have different business requirements, Talent Profile delivers views based on their roles. For example, only managers can view the Succession Plan and Performance Matrix (9-box).

Use Flexible Search Options to Search for Talent Profiles

Managers can directly search for the worker whose talent profile they want to view with out having to navigate through the entire hierarchy. The search displays the talent profile of the selected worker. Horizontal links display the complete hierarchical relationship of the worker and the manager. A saved view of recently viewed profiles helps managers to return to recent records without having to perform the search again. The application saves the recently viewed profiles only for that specific session.
