Together on Workplace

It’s for everyone.

What is Workplace?

“As we work to continue building a culture that celebrates new ideas, champions employee development and fosters fantastic camaraderie, we are excited to bring everyone together and launch this new space.”

– Eric Slater

President and CEO, CGB

Workplace is the first collaborative communication tool accessible by the entire CGB team (that’s pretty special)! Eric Slater, President & CEO of CGB, is committed to upholding a place that celebrates new ideas, champions employee development, and fosters camaraderie among us all. As we continue to build our culture, this platform will be key in allowing us to connect with one another and share victories while strengthening community and communication across our entire organization.

On the platform, you will find categorized content that matters to YOU. You’ll be automatically enrolled in some groups including Company News, Executive Insights, Employee & Facility Spotlight, CGB-It’s Who We Are, MyHR, and Safety, among others.

Please watch for additional communication in the coming days and weeks – and, let’s build a better workplace!

Familiar

From collaborating across CGB and sharing information to growing our culture, everything on Workplace starts with a group. You will notice default groups upon logging in, and some you can join if they are of interest. And, additional groups can be created by the team! Because it’s built on a framework most of us have seen, it’s incredibly easy to use!

Integrated

Workplace integrates with Workday, that is how we ensure all employee data is accurate and well-maintained. It also integrates with Teams and Sharepoint, and supports deep-linking.

Safe

IT has endorsed and advocated for this platform! In addition to the thorough review from our own internal experts, Workplace is ISO 27018 certified and GDPR compliant.

YES! This tool is meant to complement, not compete with, our current tools. To add your Workplace feed to Microsoft Teams, open your Teams platform and click the three dots on the bottom left toolbar. Type “Workplace” into the search and then click “Workplace from Facebook.” Once Workplace is added onto your left-side tool bar, right click on it and select “Pin.” Pinning will ensure it stays in place and doesn’t disappear if you ever restart Teams.

Yes, but it’s mostly for admins to use. To visit the desktop version of the platform, visit workplace.cgb.com and select “Visit on Desktop.”

Workplace does run slow in Google Chrome due to our Zscaler application. But, there are options to remedy this for a better user experience!

Option 1: Right click on your Google Chrome icon and select “New Incognito Window.” Then, navigate to workplace.cgb.com. Opening “incognito” immediately fixes the issue.

Option 2: Open in ANY browser except Chrome. The issue is only experienced in that browser.

Option 3: Download the app! The experience is wonderful in the app. Don’t forget to add Workplace to Microsoft Teams as well!

Team members are automatically enrolled in a few select channels – those that apply to the entire team, like Company Announcements, Insights from Executives, MyHR and Safety, among others. To see the purpose of each, simply view “description” within each group. Groups are clearly named, but the description will give you even more insight into what each group is for and what type of information you can find within them.

This is simply the group setup at launch – we encourage other groups to be created based on business needs! If you have a group you would like to see created, email us at workplace@cgb.com with the proposed group and content ideas. Please note that, if the group is based on business or location, or region, we can segment employees automatically and add them based on the information in Workday. Integration is a beautiful thing.

Your profile picture helps people recognize you on Workplace, so we strongly suggest adding an appropriate photo to your profile! To add or change your profile picture:

Click on your profile picture on the bottom left of Workplace.
Click View Profile.
Hover over your profile picture and click Update.
You can select a photo you’ve already uploaded, select a photo you’re tagged in or upload a photo from your device.
If you’re ready to save your photo, click Save. If you’d like to crop your photo first, use the Drag to Reposition tool, then click Save.

Note: Your current profile picture can be seen by anyone visiting your profile.

Each group has a description on the right side of the page. Please review to become familiar with the space and what type of content you can expect to see in each.

All content is to be placed in GROUPS. You can see a list of those groups within your Workplace app. To post, please identify the group that best fits the information you’d like to share. Craft your post, being mindful of the “terms of use” and ensure it complies with our Code of Conduct. Once your post is drafted within the correct group, be sure that you’ve added a photo if it pertains to the content and that you’ve tagged employees if they’re named! Then, click “Post”! Once your post is approved by an admin, it will be shown within the group.

We’d love to hear from you as we continue to build this space! Please email workplace@cgb.com with ideas, feedback and suggestions.
