For the 2022 first release, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources has focused on these areas:

• Benefits management
• Employee development
• Migration to Finance and Operations infrastructure
• Integrations and extensibility
• Organisation and Personal Management

Here’s a summary of all the updates from your trusted advisors:  

1. Achieve centralised visibility and control with infrastructure integration between D365 HR and D365 Finance and Operation

Dynamics 365 Human Resources is a standalone application that runs on separate architecture than Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. However, the module will now integrate into the same infrastructure as other Finance and Operations apps with the merger.

With the merged infrastructure, you can achieve centralised visibility control and reduce the overall cost. With this feature, you can get the capabilities in different areas, including leave and absence management, benefits management and task management.  

Note: The migration for each organisation will depend on its current configuration. For example: if your organisation uses Dynamics 365 Human Resources but doesn’t use any other Finance and Operations apps, your human resources will migrate to the new infrastructure.
