People’s Choice Credit Union improves talent management with Oracle HCM Cloud

People’s Choice Credit Union Gains Real-Time Insight Into Workforce Capability and Enhances Staff Experience with Oracle.

People’s Choice Credit Union (People’s Choice) is one of Australia’s largest member-owned financial institutions with more than 365,000 members. It provides award-winning home loans, credit cards, and personal and business loans to meet the needs of its members. People’s Choice aims to be the most trusted financial services provider in Australia.

Previously, People’s Choice relied on its payroll system and spreadsheets to capture data and manage the recruitment, onboarding, and performance review processes. Business leaders had limited visibility into workforce data. With rapid changes in the financial services industry, People’s Choice wanted to align staff performance, enhance staff experience, and improve its ability to attract and retain the right talent by moving to an HR cloud platform.

  • Improve staff experience and engagement by empowering staff to easily view and manage their personal information, performance reviews, and career planning
  • Enable business leaders to make better HR decisions by increasing the efficiency of creating management reports and receiving feedback on staff performance
  • Support future growth by ensuring the alignment of staff performance and goals with organizational strategy

Results

People’s Choice implemented a suite of Oracle HCM Cloud solutions in multiple phases. In the first phase, it rolled out Oracle Human Capital Management Base Cloud Service, Oracle Performance Management Cloud Service, and Oracle Goals Management Cloud Service—all within three months. People’s Choice then completed the full cycle of performance management five months later. The company took another two months to adopt Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud for the recruitment and onboarding processes. People’s Choice went live with the new platform in 15 months, on time and within budget.

“Our experience with Oracle was positive. Our account manager and customer success manager were accessible and willing to assist when required,” Jarman said.
