Oracle HCM
Cloud Rubies

Recognizing the contributions of Human Resources professionals.

Introduction

Human Resources is about cultivating an organization's most important resource, its people.

It's time to recognize these tireless talent advocates for their innovation and contribution to the business.

The Oracle HCM Cloud Rubies awards will recognize and celebrate innovative customers who use Oracle HCM Cloud solutions to drive business success.

(Nominations close February 17, 2017) This is a global program open to any organization using an Oracle HCM Cloud solution. Community voting will determine the winners. Winners will be recognized at Oracle HCM World, April 11 to 13, 2017, in Boston, Massachusetts.
