Employees Registering a Bright ID

In order for an employee to log into their Employee Self Service Portal, they will need a Bright ID.

  1. Go to https://id.brightsg.com/login



  2. Click ‘sign up’ to create your Bright ID

    • Enter your full name, company name and region. Click ‘Next’.



    • On the next screen enter your email address and create your password.



    • Once you have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions, click Submit. There is also an option at this point to go back if you’ve made any mistakes.

    • Once these steps are complete you will receive an email with a 6 digit verification code where you will need to confirm your account. If you can’t locate your confirmation email, try checking your spam folder.



    • After entering in the 6 digit code and clicking ‘Next’, you will see confirmation that your Bright ID is successfully set up and you are now ready to login.



  3. To login to your Employee Self Service Portal here, please enter your email address and password.
