Discover how Hexaware empowered the client to streamline HR, boost compliance, and cut non-core HR time by 30%—driving global business transformation.
Client
Global Facilities Management Leader
The client is an integrated facilities management services provider across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. As a leading FM company, they serve various industries, including Oil & Gas, Banking, Industrial, Public Sector, Integrated Workplaces, Education, Retail, etc. Their extensive operations required a robust workforce management cloud solution to effectively manage a diverse, multi-national workforce.
Challenge
Manual Processes Hindering Growth
Business Needs
The client lacked an automated system and relied on manual processes, leading to redundant tasks. To address this, they opted for an Oracle HCM Cloud implementation to manage talent recruitment and learning, embarking on a journey of HR process automation.
Hexaware assessed and understood their business landscape and requirements, ensuring a seamless adoption of the Oracle HCM Cloud implementation. Operating in more than 20 countries, the shift from a paper-based method to automated systems was transformative. Oracle Cloud enabled the client to perform multiple tasks seamlessly across their entire business landscape.
Key challenges faced by the client-
- The HR department relied on manual processes, requiring employees to file records manually for their talent management system and recruiting needs.
- Manual and inefficient processes, missing competency matrix, unavailability of past performance snapshots, and a lack of peer feedback functionality.
- No centralized visibility, impeding global HR standardization.
- Manual, time-consuming consolidation of global HR data for reporting and analysis, with no single source of truth.
- Gaps in the talent review process: absence of talent pools, ad hoc talent selection, undefined success planning.
- Gaps in the career development: no defined PDP (performance development plan) for employees, no data on reskilling or upskilling.
- No integration with the Learning & Development system.
Solution
Strategic Oracle HCM Implementation
Hexaware Solution and Approach
Hexaware implemented a talent management system and Oracle Recruiting Cloud to help the client capture all the necessary details in the application. The Oracle HCM Cloud implementation was structured into five stages—Planning, Analysis, Development, User Testing, and Migration.
Initially, Hexaware encountered challenges in requirement capturing, validation, and delivery adherence. To address these, a requirement workshop was established, ensuring effective HR process automation.
Workshop Highlights
- Engaging relevant stakeholders in discussion
- Sharing product features and capabilities, incorporating feedback
- Incremental sign-offs at key milestones
- 2-week mobilization before project initiation
- Standardized templates for information sharing
In addition to the workshop, two rounds of CRP (Conference Room Pilots) were conducted:
- CRP 1: Increased user familiarity with the application during the Develop, Configure, and Prototype phase, with early feedback incorporated. The workforce management cloud solution was showcased twice, ensuring the project stayed on track.
- CRP 2: Post-regression testing, stakeholders from 16 countries (UAE, India, KSA, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Lebanon, Sudan, Ethiopia, Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco) participated, supporting global HR standardization.
Additional Efforts:
- Engaging quiz sessions during CRP to boost participation
- Addressing country-specific requirements for all 16 nations
- Frequent team interactions for risk management and updates
- “Train the Trainer” approach for end-user training
