Apply to join the PartnerWorld program



Overview

As a new Business Partner, once you apply to and register on PartnerWorld Web site, you gain access to the PartnerWorld entitled Web site and the PartnerWorld Profiling System (PPS). Here you can begin the procedure of joining the program by creating a Worldwide enterprise profile.

The Primary Relationship Contact (PRC) or Authorized Profile Administrator (APA) can set the system to automatically accept employees who associate themselves to a location using the company token by:

  • Selecting "Yes" automatically accept contacts who self-associate with this company option In this case, the APA will receive an e-mail confirming employee's association. Alternatively
  • Selecting "No" will require the APA to approve each submitted self association and assign an access level to each employee
The APA will receive notification under Actions requiring attention on the PartnerWorld profile page, once the self association is completed by the employee at the location.

Existing Business Partners already with a profile in PPS will automatically be able to view their details upon entering PPS.
