2018 Human Capital Trends | Oracle HCM cloud differentiators
The rise of the social enterprise
Organizations are no longer judged only for their financial performance, or even the quality of their products or services. Rather, they are being evaluated on the basis of their impact on society at large—transforming them from business enterprises into social enterprises. Deloitte, together with Oracle, address this transformational shift and the accompanying trends, and showcase the potential of a social enterprise enabled by Oracle Cloud.
This edition of the Oracle Perspective Human Capital Trends, represents the culmination of efforts to examine the powerful business forces that are remaking HR. We invite you to explore the report, which details this year’s trends, along with our Oracle perspective.
