REGISTRATION
Do I need to sign up for an account and create a profile in order to use WorkforceGPS?

Additionally, all webinars that you attend are automatically saved to your user profile under My Events.
How do I register on WorkforceGPS?
On the homepage, simply click My WorkforceGPS on the homepage near the top of the page, and then click "Join WorkforceGPS."
PASSWORDS
I have forgotten my password or been locked out of my account. What do I do?
WorkforceGPS users can reset their own password and unlock their account by accessing the Reset Password and Unlock Account page.
The Self-Service Reset Password feature will send a temporary password to the email address that you used to register for WorkforceGPS and simultaneously unlock any locked account. In the event you do not receive a temporary password in 15 minutes, please check your junk mail/clutter folder, and also ensure that donotreply@workforcegps.org is added to your safe sender’s list.
To reset your password, enter the email address you use to log in.
COMMUNICATIONS
What is the difference between a WorkforceGPS Notification, the WorkforceGPS Newsletter, and Community Weekly Digests?
WorkforceGPS notifications are plain text alerts that notify you of technical changes to the website (e.g., WorkforceGPS is down for a limited time, etc.).
The WorkforceGPS Newsletter is a monthly publication that highlights important news and updates, as well as featured resources.
A Community Weekly digest is a summary of the latest happenings in a specific community during the past week.
Subscribing to any or all of these features can be done in the My Memberships & Notifications tab when you are logged in to My WorkforceGPS; by default, all users are subscribed to the WorkforceGPS Newsletter when they create an account on WorkforceGPS.
COMMUNITIESS
How do I join a certain community?
You can join a Community by becoming a registered user on WorkforceGPS, logging in, and visiting the My Memberships & Notifications tab on My WorkforceGPS. You can simply check which communities you would like to become a part of; please note that some communities require approval for membership.
What’s the difference between an announcement, blog, and discussion topic?
An announcement and blog are both ways that a Community can provide members with updates (i.e., Announcements) or more information about a specific topic (i.e., Blog Post).
A discussion topic and thread allow users to interact with their peers and Community moderators on a certain topic or pose specific questions in an effort to find a solution or solicit feedback.
Both blogs and discussion comments make use of the comment feature.
How can I submit a comment?
You may submit comments on things like blog posts and resources by simply entering text in the Comments box and confirming your submission. Please note you must be logged in to submit a comment.
How can I participate in a Discussion Topic?
There are two ways to participate in a Discussion Topic thread. You may click the Subscribe to Topic button to receive updates on what is posted and commented on via email. Or you can click Add New Post and submit a question/issue for others to comment on by entering a title and the body of your question/issue; when finished, you simply click Submit and confirm your submission.
Please note you must be logged in to participate in a discussion topic.
EVENTS
How do I register to attend an event?
To attend an event, you must first register for a free WorkforceGPS account and log in.
