Hi Whiddon Redhead team,

Please be advised that SSO (Single Sign-On) was enabled accidentally today. This may have prevented some team members who are not using their Whiddon ID, from signing in to Humanforce.

The issue has now been resolved and SSO has been turned off. You can continue to access Humanforce using your usual login method.
When SSO is officially introduced at Redhead, we will provide plenty of notice, instructions, and support well in advance.

If you are still unable to sign in to Humanforce, please log an ICT support ticket for assistance.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

San’s final day with us will be Monday, 21 September 2026.

I would personally like to thank San for his support, leadership and contribution to Whiddon Moree. His knowledge and guidance have been greatly appreciated, and he will certainly be missed by our team.
