Once you have signed into Workplace (refer to our 'Logging in to My Business Workplace' article for more information on signing in), follow the below steps to add your employees.

1. Select Employees from the dropdown box in the header on the top-right
2. Click ‘Add Employees’ or 'Bulk Upload'
3. Add your employee details to finalise upload

Once employees have been added, they will receive an invitation to access Workplace. 

To Bulk upload employees, you are required to upload a CSV file with employee details. See instructions below:

1. Click the "Download Template" button to download the bulk upload file template.
2. Open the file template in Excel and insert each employee's relevant information. The following fields are mandatory to create an employee record in the Workplace platform, so they must be filled in.
