For years, businesses have depended on traditional Human Capital Management (HCM) systems to oversee workforce operations. These systems, though reliable, often lack the agility and user-centric design necessary to meet today’s dynamic workforce needs. As a result, many organizations struggle to keep pace with competitors who have adopted more advanced solutions.
Imagine having a workforce management system that not only streamlines your HR processes but also gives you a competitive edge in talent acquisition and retention. That’s exactly what your competitors who’ve already adopted Oracle Redwood HCM are experiencing. But here’s the kicker – it’s not too late for you to catch up and even surpass them.
Why Oracle Created Redwood as Its Next-Generation UI/UX
Oracle envisioned Redwood as more than just an interface—it’s a complete design philosophy. Aimed at creating a cohesive user experience across its cloud platforms, Redwood combines simplicity with functionality. By leveraging modern design principles, Oracle ensures that users can navigate complex tasks effortlessly, enhancing productivity and satisfaction.
Enter Oracle Redwood HCM—an upgrade that redefines workforce management. With cutting-edge features such as AI-driven insights, intuitive interfaces, and seamless integrations, this platform offers a transformative experience for HR teams and employees alike.
QIC has adopted Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), integrating advanced generative AI capabilities. The firm is also incorporating the innovative Redwood user experience to enhance manager engagement and streamline performance feedback processes.
The Limitations of Traditional HCM Systems
Traditional HCM systems were designed primarily for administrative tasks, focusing on processes like payroll, attendance, and compliance. While effective for record-keeping, these systems often fail to:
- Provide actionable insights for decision-making.
- Enhance employee engagement through modern interfaces.
- Adapt to emerging workforce trends such as remote work and gig economy integration.
Mapei have reported significant improvements after implementing Oracle HCM and achieved a unified HR database and effective global reporting system, eliminating manual data collection activities.
