Global Human Resources
Unified Global Workforce Management
Global Human Resources is the foundation of Oracle HCM Cloud. Every module — from Recruiting to Payroll — depends on the data, structures, and configurations defined here. Getting Global HR right is the key to a successful HCM implementation.
The Foundation
