If you missed the PeopleSoft Blueprint 4D user conference last month, don’t worry because you will have another opportunity to engage with us, your industry peers, subject matter experts, and other PeopleSoft customers at PeopleSoft RECONNECT 2022 - October 10th to 13th.  Reconnect will be a 100% virtual conference with plenty of high-value attendance options and deep-dive content that will teach you how to best use the latest PeopleSoft features and technologies.  We would love to hear from you about what sorts of topics we should consider presenting at Reconnect. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone at RECONNECT October 10 – 13.  Those of you who have attended this annual conference in the past already know that it is the best source of PeopleSoft content in terms of breadth and depth.  It is also one of the best-valued conferences since it is 100% digital, provides deep dive sessions, and offers discounted pricing for those customers who would like to send multiple people.  The entire PeopleSoft Strategy team will be in attendance, along with many PeopleSoft subject matter experts, to present on an array of topics from roadmap to detailed feature functionality.  Unlike other conferences, RECONNECT focuses on the details to help customers learn how to get started, configure, and make the most of delivered functionality.

As vaccination and testing tracking becomes essential for those customers allowing employees to come back to work sites, I am pleased to announce that our development team has delivered the new Health & Safety – Employee Wellness feature as a PeopleSoft Release Patch (PRP) earlier than originally planned.  We also expect to include it in HCM Image 40 next month.  Employee Wellness is an enhancement that provides the ability for employees to update their vaccination information via self-service, along with test results and important allergy and health information.  For more on how to access the PRP today or what this feature can do for your organizations’ return to work plans, see the following blogs à https://blogs.oracle.com/peoplesoft/post/tracking-employees-medical-tests-peoplesoft and https://blogs.oracle.com/peoplesoft/post/tracking-covid-vaccinations-peoplesoft

HCM Image 40 and CRM Image 20 are now available for download.  The HCM image includes new functionality to support tracking remote working, employee wellness for vaccination and testing tracking, fluidized manager self-service for managing schedules in Time & Labor, among many others.  These features and more are shown in the recently published Image 40 highlights video.  CRM Image 20 includes uptake of PeopleTools 8.59 technology as well as new operational Kibana dashboards and analytics for call center agents and agent managers.

As you might already know, HCM Image 43 is now available for download.  Features available with this release include: Benefit Plans Comparisons, Payroll Trend Analytics and Insights, Payroll Quick Calculation feature, Absence Balance and Forecasting enhancements, Dependent Rules for Benefits Life Plan relationships, Fluid Candidate Gateway Accessibility improvements, among others.  Allowing your employees to compare benefit plans during open enrollment is a feature that many US-based customers will find interesting.  The PeopleSoft development team designed an easy-to-use, configurable interface that allows even novice employees to make the best decision possible by viewing a comprehensive, simplified, side-by-side comparison of various benefit plans offered by their organization.  There is still time for customers to deploy this feature for the upcoming benefits enrollment period.
