Creating a Job Family in Oracle Fusion involves grouping similar jobs together based on their function, responsibilities, and skill sets. Job Families help to streamline workforce management by organizing related jobs into categories. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a Job Family in Oracle Fusion:
1. Log in to Oracle Fusion:
- Log in to Oracle Fusion Applications using your credentials.
2. Navigate to Workforce Structures:
- In the Navigator, go to the My Client Groups tab.
- Under Workforce Structures, select Jobs.
3. Go to Manage Job Families:
- On the Manage Jobs page, click on the Task Panel (on the right side).
- In the task list, click on Manage Job Families.
4. Create a New Job Family:
- On the Manage Job Families screen, click the Create button to add a new job family.
5. Enter Job Family Details:
- Fill in the required details:
- Job Family Name: Enter the name of the job family (e.g., “Marketing and Sales”).
- Job Family Code: Assign a unique code to the job family.
- Description: Provide a description for the job family, explaining the types of jobs it encompasses (e.g., “Includes roles related to marketing, advertising, and sales management”).
6. Effective Dates:
- Set the Effective Start Date for the job family. This date marks when the job family becomes active and available for use.
- Optionally, set an End Date if the job family is temporary or has a known expiration.
7. Review and Save:
- Review the details you’ve entered to ensure accuracy.
- Once all details are correct, click Submit or Save and Close to finalize the creation of the job family.
8. Assign Jobs to the Job Family (Optional):
- After creating the job family, you can assign specific jobs to the family.
- Go back to the Manage Jobs task and edit the jobs that should belong to this job family.
- Assign the relevant Job Family to each job.
9. Approval (If Applicable):
- Depending on your organization’s approval workflow, the newly created job family may need approval from HR or management before it becomes active.
Additional Considerations:
- Job Hierarchies: Make sure that the jobs assigned to a job family are aligned with the organizational hierarchy and workforce structure.
- Reporting and Analytics: Job families help in reporting and workforce analytics by grouping similar jobs for easier analysis.
- Security and Access: Ensure that users who manage job families have the appropriate security roles to create and edit them.
By following these steps, you can effectively create a new Job Family in Oracle Fusion, helping your organization categorize jobs more efficiently.
