Session Script: Understanding Redwood in Oracle Fusion HCM

Slide 1: Introduction to Redwood in Oracle Fusion HCM

Speaker's Note: "Good afternoon, everyone! Today, we’re going to


discuss about essential part of Oracle Fusion HCM – Redwood. We’ll
discuss what Redwood is, its features, and how it can be used in HCM to
streamline processes and enhance user experiences. And compare it with
similar tool Sandbox. Let’s get started."

Slide 1: What is Redwood?

Redwood is a framework for creating modern, mobile-responsive,


and intelligent user experiences in Oracle Fusion Applications.
Essentially, it’s a new design approach that makes Oracle Fusion HCM
easier to use, more intuitive, and accessible across devices.

It’s not just about UI. Redwood also powers intelligent workflows,
analytics, and guided experiences within Oracle Fusion applications. It
gives us a unified interface, optimizing how employees and managers
interact with the system.

The core principles of Redwood design revolve around:

 Simplicity: Clean and uncluttered layouts

 Personalization: Customizable dashboards

 Efficiency: Streamlined navigation and workflows

 Consistency: Consistent design across all Oracle Fusion apps"

Slide 2: Key Features of Redwood in Oracle Fusion HCM

Speaker's Note: "Now, let’s take a look at some key features of Redwood
in Oracle Fusion HCM:

1. Modular Design: Redwood introduces a modular design approach.


This allows users to tailor their dashboards and screens by selecting
and configuring widgets that are relevant to them. This enhances
usability and allows for a personalized experience.

2. Responsive Layouts: Redwood applications are optimized for a


variety of devices — desktops, tablets, and mobiles. This makes
sure that employees, managers, and HR professionals have the
same intuitive experience no matter what device they use.
3. Enhanced User Experience (UX): With Redwood, Oracle has put a
strong emphasis on user experience. This includes contextual help,
guided tasks, and simplified navigation. The interface is designed to
guide users through processes efficiently, minimizing clicks and
providing relevant information at every step.

4. Data-Driven Insights: Redwood also integrates analytics to


provide real-time insights into employee data. Dashboards are
designed to display performance metrics, employee engagement,
and HR trends, helping decision-makers act quickly.

5. Intelligent Workflow and Automation: Redwood incorporates AI


and machine learning to automate tasks and recommend actions
based on data patterns. It helps HR teams work smarter, not
harder."

Slide 3: How Redwood Enhances HCM Processes

Speaker's Note: "Now that we’ve covered some of the core features,
let’s focus on how Redwood specifically enhances HCM processes:

1. Employee Self-Service: Redwood allows employees to easily view


and manage their personal data, such as pay slips, benefits, and
time-off requests. This reduces administrative overhead for HR
teams and empowers employees to take control of their HR data.

2. Manager Self-Service: For managers, Redwood provides intuitive


interfaces for managing team performance, setting goals,
conducting reviews, and approving requests. It makes these tasks
faster and easier.

3. HR Analytics: Redwood comes with advanced data analytics tools


that allow HR to analyze trends, employee performance, and talent
management metrics. These tools help HR professionals make data-
driven decisions and track business outcomes.

4. Recruitment & Onboarding: With Redwood, Oracle HCM can help


streamline the recruitment process. It allows for a more intuitive
experience for recruiters, enabling them to easily review candidates
and provide a smooth onboarding process for new hires.

Learning & Development: Redwood integrates learning tools and


personalized recommendations to help employees stay on top of their
career growth. It suggests relevant courses, certifications, and training
materials based on their role and interests."
Slide 4: Using Redwood in Everyday HCM Operations

Speaker's Note: "Now, let’s discuss practical scenarios where Redwood


is used in everyday HCM operations:

1. Performance Reviews: Managers can access performance reviews


through a Redwood-powered interface, where they can quickly
review key employee performance data, set goals, and provide
feedback. The system will also recommend improvement areas
based on AI-driven analysis.

2. Leave and Attendance: Employees can request leave directly


through a Redwood self-service portal, and managers can
approve or reject requests within a few clicks. The system will
automatically update all related records and notify the appropriate
parties.

3. Payroll and Compensation: Redwood simplifies the payroll


process by giving employees access to pay slips and other
compensation data through an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface.

4. Employee Surveys and Feedback: Managers can send out


employee surveys or feedback forms via Redwood interfaces, and
the analytics backend will provide insights on employee satisfaction,
engagement, and organizational culture."

updates and features.

How Redwood and Sandbox Work Together:

 Redwood enhances the overall user interface of Oracle Fusion HCM


applications, making them more user-friendly and modern.

 Sandbox serves as the safe playground where administrators and


developers can test configurations related to Redwood (or any
other customization). For example, if the HR team wants to modify
the look and feel of a dashboard using Redwood themes, they can
first test these modifications in a Sandbox environment before
applying them to the live system.

Example Workflow of Using Both:

1. Using Sandbox for Testing:

o HR administrators want to change how the “Performance


Review” section looks on the employee dashboard (using
Redwood themes).

o They create a new version of the dashboard in the Sandbox


environment.

2. Designing with Redwood:

o The new version of the dashboard in Sandbox uses Redwood


design principles to create a more intuitive and modern
layout.

o They test the new layout, ensuring that the page looks good
on different devices and that the workflows are easy to follow.

3. Deploying to Production:

o Once they are happy with the new design and functionality in
the Sandbox, the changes are then moved to the production
environment, where they are implemented for all users in
the organization.
In this way, Redwood focuses on improving the user interface, while
Sandbox ensures that any changes to the system, whether they are
related to Redwood or other customizations, can be tested thoroughly
before going live.
