ORACLE HCM · AI AGENT PROFILE

Manager Performance Evaluation Assistant

Gives managers a conversational view of their team's performance. It can rank team members' overall performance for a year, compare performance over time, find team goals that are performing poorly, and spot team members below the target proficiency for their competencies.

Where it helps

Before writing evaluations, a manager asks which of the team's goals are off track and who is below target proficiency in their competencies.

My take

MY PRACTITIONER VIEW

Ranking people is exactly where AI needs the most care. Use it to prepare, not to decide: the rating is the manager's judgement, and it should be explainable without the agent.

Things you can ask

Rank team members' overall performance for the current year.
Compare team members' performance over the last three years.
Identify any goals assigned to my team that are performing poorly.
Identify team members who aren't reaching the target proficiency for their competencies.

Examples based on Oracle's notes. What works depends on your setup.

What it won't do

  • Oracle's note describes viewing only. It doesn't describe the agent writing or changing evaluations.
  • It only shows performance information the manager can already access.

Good first agent?

No. Use it to prepare, not to decide.

Risk level: Higher. It ranks and compares people's performance, which is evaluating people at work.

Before you switch it on

  1. Have you agreed how managers may and may not use its rankings?
  2. Does it only show what managers can already see?
  3. Have you told employees how AI is used in performance reviews?

Setup at a glance

Open Setup at a glance for the setup steps. Select the agent's type label to see what that type means.

Test it after each update

For Oracle Fusion Applications, non-production (test) quarterly updates follow the weekend after the first Friday of the update month; production follows the weekend after the third Friday. Run these checks after the test update and before production, and verify your tenant's exact dates in Oracle update notifications.

  • Ask for a ranking and check it against the underlying ratings.
  • Ask about someone outside your team and check it refuses.
  • Check how it handles team members with missing ratings.

Watch out

A ranking can look more objective than it is. Check what it's based on before anyone relies on it.

Employee Goals Assistant

Helps employees summarise, create, update and (from 26D) delete their performance and development goals in a conversation, following your goal approvals where they're switched on. From 26D, managers can also use it to assign their own goals to team members.
