Oracle has appointed a new tool for human resources departments announced employee wellness and seems to be suggesting that you would be willing to follow their leader how exercise.The tools,a new module for the software and the promises of the company Human Capital Management for the chance that you can keep track of your physical activity,goal setting,and tell you if you upgrade or hitting milestones.
Nothing to worry about there a number of devices and services they do for you. But things interesting when you consider that Oracle says The application advice to employees on behaviors that can increase the life of well-being as well as their links between welfare and work.In other words,human resources it can apply to fire,pies and three beer lunches.Things get even more interesting as Oracle suggests "professional benefits can promote the games and contests for adoption and to increase participation in wellness programs,allowing employees to create benefit providers and joint venture participants provide and take responsibility for personal wellness.
If the "benefits" under consideration are employer-provided gym memberships and the intention is to help benefits professionals to assess if they're a good investment,fair enough.And there are worse ways to generate esprit de corps than internal competitions.
If the benefits are health insurance, and the application can collect data an organisation could use to drive down health insurance premiums and perhaps mean lazy lardies find themselves rated insufficiently committed to wellness during performance reviews then this is very scary stuff indeed.
Oracle says it's currently doing usability testing for the application. Let's hope they choose a workplace with a well-organised workforce for those tests: this one has a high “what could possibly go wrong with that” quotient that may well justify a bit of push-back.
