This week we were joined by Yvette Cameron of Oracle to talk about some of the latest innovation from the Oracle HCM Cloud group - Skills Insights - an AI-powered Dynamic Skills solution in Oracle Cloud HCM which allows HR leaders to identify skills gaps and foster career development for employees. On the show, Yvette shared why taking a skills-centric appoach to talent management is criticial for organizations needing to become more agile and responsive to meet changing needs and demands. For HR leaders, having an understanding of the skills possessed by the workforce is critical for talent planning, recruiting, development and more. For employees, being able to easily report their skills, to identifty opportunities to develop existing skills and acquire new ones, and gain insights into how skills contributes and supports their career plans is essential for employee engagement and retention. 

Yvette also shared the three components of Skills Insights: Skills Nexus; Skills Advisor; and Skills Center - which work together to give HR leaders and employees tools and capability to transform the way they identify and grow skills. Learn more about Skills Insights here.
