HOUSTON, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kahuna Workforce Solutions, a leading frontline workforce readiness platform trusted by enterprise organizations, today announced a strategic partnership with Oracle to bridge the gap between core human resources and daily operational execution. By integrating Kahuna’s validated skills and competency management platform to Oracle Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), enterprises can now leverage a unified, skills-forward HRIS ecosystem that aligns corporate talent strategy with actual on-the-job capabilities.
As highly regulated industries face widening skills gaps and increasing compliance pressures, traditional HRIS platforms often struggle to capture the granular, day-to-day capabilities of frontline staff. This collaboration introduces an integration that feeds Kahuna's dynamic, validated operational skills data straight into Oracle Cloud HCM. Large enterprises gain a singular source of truth for their workforce, allowing them to balance long-term talent management and workforce planning with real-time operational needs.
The joint solution delivers targeted operational benefits across three heavily regulated, frontline-dependent industries:
- Healthcare: Streamlines hospital and healthcare system workflows by continuously tracking specialized clinical competencies to ensure the right, fully qualified clinicians are staffed for specific unit and patient acuity, while automatically maintaining survey readiness for strict healthcare regulations.
- Manufacturing: Enhances plant-floor productivity by providing clear visibility into machine-specific certifications and operator capabilities, surfacing skills gaps, enabling automated, qualification-based job scheduling, and accelerating time-to-productivity for new hires.
- Energy: Mitigates high-consequence operational risks in field environments by giving dispatchers real-time visibility into safety certifications and operational competencies, verifying that only fully compliant, qualified technicians are assigned to hazardous environments.
"Enterprises shouldn't have to choose between a corporate HR strategy and a bedside- or field-ready operational workforce," said Jai Shah, chief executive officer of Kahuna. "By pairing Kahuna’s deep frontline competency mapping with Oracle Cloud HCM's platform, we are giving companies the exact tools they need to run safer, smarter, and highly compliant operations."
The integration between Kahuna and Oracle Cloud HCM is generally available to enterprise customers starting today. For more information or to request a product demonstration, please visit https://kahunaworkforce.com/ecosystem/.
