AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced a new AI-powered coaching assistant within Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) to help managers lead with greater confidence, consistency, and effectiveness. Oracle Manager Edge helps managers strengthen engagement, support employee growth, improve team performance, and drive retention by using insights from feedback, goals, performance reviews, team interactions, and other workforce signals across Oracle Cloud HCM to deliver personalized guidance in the moment.

"Organizations need managers who can guide teams through change, build trust, and help employees grow, but too often they are stretched thin by administrative work, limited development support, and pressure to deliver results," said Lewis Thompson, senior vice president of applications development, Oracle. "Oracle Manager Edge helps organizations scale effective leadership and build resilient teams for an AI-driven world by providing managers with personalized, context-aware coaching that turns workforce insights into meaningful action when it matters most."

It uses AI to deliver personalized recommendations grounded in a manager's unique context, including employee feedback, goals, performance conversations, team feedback, and organizational priorities. This enables managers to take more informed actions, strengthen team relationships, and build leadership capabilities as situations evolve. Oracle Manager Edge is accessible through employee communication tools such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, bringing personalized coaching directly into the flow of work.
