New Employee Guide to Success

SYSTEMS & COMMUNICATION CHANNELS We have multiple platforms to do business, communicate as a team, and share information, so it is important to know what each one does. Single Sign-On (SSO) & the Palmer-Donavin Dashboard: Using so many platforms creates tons of usernames and passwords to remember! So, we utilize SSO which enables you to access multiple company systems with only your Microsoft password. You can access SSO at the office and at home by going to the Palmer-Donavin Dashboard at http://dashboard.palmerdonavin. com . Your supervisor will have your company email address (username) and password for you on your first day of work. You’ll be prompted to enter your last name and email address the first time you access UltiPro through the PD Dashboard. Microsoft: We use Microsoft 365 which includes Outlook for email and Teams for collaboration among other programs like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

• Company Email (Outlook): Your company email will be the primary source of communication regarding any information about benefits, insurance, or company news so it essential that you look at it frequently. You will be expected to check your email regularly. Instructions to link your company email to your phone can be found in Bridge. - Here’s how Palmer-Donavin and Seal-Rite email addresses are set up: ° PD: preferred first name . last name @palmerdonavin.com ex: john.doe@palmerdonavin.com ° SR: preferred first name . last name @sealritedoor.com ex: john.doe@sealritedoor.com • Microsoft Teams: This platform combines workplace chat, meetings, notes, and attachments. In Teams, you can message a coworker, set up a video chat, and share your screen. Everyone is assigned an account, and this is the system we use for all group collaboration. We have an “All Employee Communication” team for important memos, documents, and information. • Yammer : Similar to Facebook, this is our internal social workspace where you can interact and communicate with employees from all locations. UltiPro: Our company software for almost everything HR. In UltiPro, you can clock in and out, view your timesheet, request PTO, add/edit direct deposit and taxes, view your paystubs, enroll in benefits, track your performance, and much more. You can access the system through the PD Dashboard. You’ll be prompted to enter your last name and email address the first time you access UltiPro through the PD Dashboard. Bridge : Our learning management system (LMS). You can access this site for various training videos ranging from company procedures to leadership development opportunities. You can access it through the PD Dashboard. iCIMS: Our recruiting and onboarding system. You used it to apply and complete your new hire paperwork. It’s also the place you’ll be directed if you apply for any internal promotions within the company. ShoreTel: Our phone system which includes the physical phones as well as the software application on your computer. If you work at a desk with a phone, you receive both an extension and a direct-dial phone number. Eclipse/Eterm: The business operating system (sometimes called ERP) for the Palmer-Donavin Building Division. It is used for order entry, purchasing, warehousing, and accounting. Sage X3: Similar to Eclipse, Sage is the business operating system for the Seal-Rite Division. Power BI: BI stands for Business Intelligence; it’s a business analytics service provided by Microsoft that provides interactive visualizations, where end users can create reports and dashboards by themselves, without having to depend on information technology staff or database administrators.
