Employee Portal
Overview
The Employee Portal is where employees complete their compliance tasks — trainings, policy attestations, document uploads, and incident reporting — all in one place.
Employees access the portal separately from the admin side of The Guard. The portal is organized into dedicated sections for Tasks, Trainings, Documents, and Policies, plus the ability to report an incident. All tasks, including document requests, surface on the Tasks page so employees always know what needs their attention.
- Tasks page shows overdue items, upcoming to-dos, and new or updated policies at a glance
- Dedicated sections for Trainings, Documents, and Policies
- Employees can view and download documents their admin has shared with them
- Report an Incident opens the hotline form in a new tab

The left sidebar provides access to all sections of the portal.

Documents: Document folders shared by admins. Employees can view and download files
