As an HR leader, you know performance reviews aren’t just paperwork – they’re the heartbeat of an organization’s culture. When evaluations are fair and rooted in data, they build trust, inspire growth, and result in a high-performing workforce. 
Traditional performance review methods, such as subjective evaluations or manual ranking processes, often lead to inconsistencies, biases, and inefficiencies. This is where Oracle’s automated Stack Ranking solution can revolutionize your HR practices. By leveraging Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM’s capabilities to streamline performance evaluation, organizations can ensure fair, transparent, and objective talent assessments – empowering leaders to make informed decisions that drive both employee success and business growth. 

Employee Performance Stack Ranking Solution
The evaluation methodology measures employees’ performance against peers to identify top, middle, and low performers. While it’s a valuable tool for talent decisions, manual implementation often strains HR operations with challenges like:
•    Time-intensive calibration meetings
•    Unconscious bias in evaluations
•    Inconsistent standards across teams

The solution eliminates these barriers by integrating configurable business groups, predefined selection criteria, and data-driven insights to assess employees’ performance more objectively.

How Oracle’s Automated Stack Ranking Solution Works
The Oracle GSC and Oracle Consulting solution is built upon Oracle Cloud HCM using out-of-the-box tools and technologies and doesn’t require a separate license. It systematically evaluates employee performance by ranking them within predefined business groups and percentile ranges. This normalization process ensures a structured, data-driven approach to performance differentiation while allowing flexibility in defining ranking criteria.
