Discover how to use Nomination Awards in Oracle Fusion HCM 25C to boost employee engagement, strengthen workplace culture, and create a peer-driven recognition system that empowers your workforce and aligns with strategic HR goals.
In today’s evolving workplace, employee engagement is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a strategic imperative. Engaged employees are more productive, innovative, and committed to their organization’s mission. But engagement doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it’s fueled by a workplace culture that celebrates achievements, values contributions, and encourages recognition from all levels of the organization.
This is where Nomination Awards in Oracle Fusion HCM 25C make a powerful impact. Traditionally, employee recognition has been top-down, with managers identifying and rewarding employees. While valuable, this approach can sometimes miss the day-to-day efforts and collaborative wins that only peers truly see. Nomination Awards change the game by introducing a peer-driven recognition model—a system where employees can nominate each other for exceptional contributions, and a designated committee reviews and finalizes winners.
This inclusive and transparent process not only increases fairness but also empowers employees to play an active role in shaping a positive workplace culture. It fosters a sense of community, strengthens teamwork, and drives a deeper connection to the organization’s values.
With Oracle Fusion HCM Cloud 25C, setting up and managing Nomination Awards has never been easier. The platform provides intuitive tools for configuring recognition programs, setting nomination periods, managing eligibility criteria, and facilitating a smooth selection process through committee involvement.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step guide to enabling and managing Nomination Awards in Oracle Fusion HCM 25C, and explore how this feature can significantly transform employee engagement, boost morale, and enhance workplace culture across your organization.

Implementing Nomination Awards is more than just a feel-good initiative—it delivers measurable business value. By recognizing employees through a structured, peer-driven model, organizations can build a culture of appreciation that directly supports strategic HR and business goals. Here’s how:
Allowing employees to nominate their peers for outstanding work creates a culture of mutual respect and trust. Recognition from colleagues can feel more authentic and meaningful because peers witness the everyday efforts that might otherwise go unnoticed. This peer-driven approach fosters stronger interpersonal relationships, improves cross-functional collaboration, and reduces siloed work environments.
Business Impact: Improved teamwork and communication lead to better project outcomes and higher overall productivity.
With a structured committee-based review process, recognition is no longer solely at the discretion of managers. By clearly defining eligibility criteria, nomination windows, and selection guidelines, organizations foster a more inclusive and equitable recognition process.
Business Impact: A transparent system increases employee trust in leadership and the HR function, positively influencing retention and employer brand reputation.
When recognition is visible and celebrated across the organization, it creates a ripple effect of motivation. Employees are more likely to strive for excellence when they see their peers being acknowledged in a public and meaningful way.
Business Impact: Higher morale leads to increased engagement scores, reduced absenteeism, and improved employee performance.
Oracle Fusion HCM 25C provides powerful analytics and reporting tools that allow HR teams to track nomination trends, participation rates, and recognition gaps. This data can help identify high-performing teams, departments with low engagement, or potential issues with recognition equity.
Business Impact: Actionable insights enable HR leaders to fine-tune recognition strategies, align them with DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) goals, and better inform talent development initiatives.
When employees feel valued and appreciated, they become more aligned with the organization’s mission, values, and long-term vision. Regular, meaningful recognition—especially when it includes peer feedback—reinforces positive behaviors and contributes to a more cohesive workplace culture.
Business Impact: A strong culture reduces turnover, enhances employer branding, and creates a more resilient, engaged workforce ready to adapt to change.
Participation in nomination programs, whether as a nominator, nominee, or committee member, helps HR identify emerging leaders and culture carriers within the organization. Those who frequently recognize others or are repeatedly nominated often display qualities like empathy, initiative, and team influence.
Business Impact: Helps identify high-potential employees early, feeding into leadership pipelines and succession planning strategies.
