CHORUS: Your work essentials in the palm of your hand.
Bringing you full self-service, you'll be able to view your payslip, book time off, and in the future, browse career and learning opportunities from wherever suits you best via web browser or mobile app.
Powered by Workday’s user-friendly technology, CHORUS brings a modern upgrade to your work life essentials, helping you sort out what's most important to you whenever and wherever it fits into your day.
If you are part of the Saint-Gobain Glass, Life Sciences or Construction Products Ireland (incl Mining Ireland) businesses and use clock in/clock out systems, you'll also be able to view your work schedules, your actual time in/out, and your time accruals directly in the app.
BG colleagues on sites or in mines who have rotating or highly varied shift patterns will not be able to self-service time off from go-live. This will come later, once the BG site and mine-based work patterns have been accurately built into the new system.
Don’t worry - you’ll still access CHORUS in the same way as everyone else to get your payslips and update your data! Please speak to your line manager for more information.
What's Changing?

Access Anytime, Any Way, Anywhere
You’ll be able to access CHORUS from wherever works best for you. Whether you’re using a work device, or accessing at home with your laptop, tablet, or mobile phone, you can choose the method that suits you best.
CHORUS will be available as an app to download direct to your phone or tablet for convenient access or by using the browser link directly on any device.
If you’re feeling cautious about using a work-related app on a personal device, we can reassure you that installing the app does not give us access to your personal messages, photos, or any other private content.

Payslips
Payslips will be available directly in CHORUS from July 2026. Historic payslips and P60s will no longer be accessible via the e-portal after go-live, so we encourage you to download any documents you may need before then.
Image
Time Off
You’ll be able to book time off (annual leave) directly in CHORUS for your manager to approve. In the UK only, time off will be calculated in hours instead of days, making it easier for colleagues with flexible working patterns to manage their leave more accurately.
Don’t worry – your entitlement will remain the same as it always has!
Image
Self-Service
Using its self-service and user-friendly interface, you’ll be able to update your personal and contact details directly in CHORUS. Some updates, like your preferred name or emergency contact, won’t need approval, while others, like your legal name or bank details, will require validation first.
You’ll also be able to view your team’s organisation chart, search for colleagues, and access help and guidance directly in CHORUS.

Ownership
CHORUS gives you more insight into your own journey with Saint-Gobain, including:
Previous roles: View your job history
Annual/Intermediate Reviews: Complete digitally in CHORUS, set new objectives, and access them year-round
Continuous Feedback: Give and request internal feedback any time you want
Check-ins: Document your 1:1's with your manager to record your progress and career goals
Career Profile: A new space where you can manage and update your development needs, career interests, and skills
Gigs: Apply for short-term projects that match your interests and skills for up to 10% of your time

Equal Access for All Colleagues
If you don’t usually access a work device for your role, CHORUS brings huge improvements as all functionality described above will be available to you via the mobile app or weblink.
You’ll be able to access the same information and activities that were previously completed manually and on paper, reducing admin and paperwork, streamlining processes, and increasing the security and accessibility of your data and records.
When the full CHORUS rollout is complete in the future, you’ll also be able to access the new learning and development features.

Continual Learning and Career Mobility
We’re pleased to share that CHORUS will eventually be the platform to access your learning and mobility needs for too.
This is planned for toward the end of 2027, and more details will be made available closer to the time.
Part of Saint-Gobain Glass, Life Sciences or Construction Products Ireland (incl Mining)?
You've also got time tracking! Time tracking in CHORUS records the hours you work, and in your businesses, this directly links to your clock in/clock out system.
You can view your work schedule, view your recorded time for the week or month, and view the lieu time or overtime accruals that will help calculate your pay directly from your phone or computer, keeping everything accurate and visible for you, your manager, and payroll.
Got a question?
When is CHORUS going live?
We’re working towards a July go‑live for CHORUS. This gives us the right amount of time to complete thorough testing, make final improvements, and ensure you have a smooth, reliable experience from day one.
As with any major platform launch, this date may adjust slightly depending on the final stages of testing, and our commitment remains the same: CHORUS will only go live when it’s fully ready and delivers the high‑quality experience you expect.
Additional functionality for career and learning will be available from 2027, and we’ll keep you updated on timelines as we know more.
As CHORUS will become the place to view your payslips, the payslip portal will be closing. Please download any payslips, letters or other pay-related documents you want to keep before go‑live. You'll also need to make sure that you check your data is correct when you first log in.
Workday is a leading cloud-based people platform used by organisations around the world to make people-related activities easier to manage for you, your manager, and business support teams. CHORUS is just what we’ll be calling Workday in Saint-Gobain.
What happens to my existing information? Will I need to update anything myself?
Most of your data will move into CHORUS automatically. When you first login, you’ll need to check that your own details are accurate, up to date, and add anything else that is missing which you’d like to see in there.
Is my personal information safe and secure in CHORUS?
Yes. Your information is protected by strong security and privacy measures. CHORUS is designed to keep your data safe, with strict access controls so only the right people can see the right information. You remain in control of your own details, and the platform ensures they’re stored, handled, and used responsibly at all times.
Does using CHORUS on my personal device or mobile app impact my privacy?
No. Using CHORUS on your personal device does not give us access to anything else on your phone or tablet. We cannot see your messages, photos, browsing history, or any other personal content.
The app only connects to CHORUS and does not interact with or monitor any other part of your device. If you prefer, you can also continue to access CHORUS through your browser or use a work device when you’re on site - whichever feels most comfortable for you.
We chose CHORUS for its intuitive design, and you’ll have access to online guidance, quick videos, and support from Go Live. Help is always there whenever you need it, and we'll let you know who to get in touch with closer to Go Live.
