The oddly named MyTHDHR is the online employee portal for The Home Depot. Well, it appears oddly named at first glance, but it becomes more relevant upon closer inspection – My – THD (The Home Depot) – HR. There you have it, and it all makes more sense now!

The employee portal provides an easy way for THD associates to access information about their employment, benefits, shifts, several resources, and information. Home Depot provides a good range of services and options to associates, so the presence of a portal makes things easier as compared to having to manage all things in person.

Interestingly, The Home Depot uses the portal for most employees of the company, and not just associates. This includes administration positions and others who work for the company but have positions outside the store.

Accessing And Logging In To MyTHDHR Self-Service

The Home Depot employs about 385,000 associates and is amongst the largest employers on the S&P 500. With a workforce that big, it makes sense to automate some routine tasks and have them handled easily. 

Much of this is handled by the MyTHDHR portal, which is available at www.mythdhr.com

Of course, before you find or access information specific to you, it is necessary to authenticate yourself and log into the system. 

Interestingly, MyTHDHR doesn’t start with a login screen. It sort of makes sense, considering the large number of employees and their various roles. Instead, the portal has various sections that users can access as per their needs and convenience.

You can choose the information you want from this screen and proceed. If the desired information requires a login, for example, if you want to view your schedule, the website will take you to a login page after you click on “Your Schedule.”

Much of the information can also be handled through the self service system. Here’s how you can go about it.

Accessing The Self Service Portal On MyTHDHR

Here are the steps to access the self service portal on MyTHDHR:

  • Type mythdhr.com/ESS.html in the address bar of your browser or click here.
  • Scroll down on the page till you see “Login to Workday”. This is a simple link and is not presented as a button. 
  • As you enter the correct username and password, you will be taken to the Workday portal.

The self service system allows associates to keep their information updated with the company. Additionally, this may be used to check the status of your leave of absence, modify direct deposit information, and more.

Here are a few things available on self service.

  • Review your associate profile
  • View historical payslips, tax information, or change tax withholding
  • Activate or modify direct deposit information
  • Modify your mailing address
  • Check or review the status of your leave of absence (LOA)
  • Manage benefits like Homer Fund Deduction

As you notice, a lot of this is important and privileged information. As such, it’s best to exercise caution and carefully manage your password. Only access the portal on a device or network you trust and remember to logout after you’re done.

Once you start with the forgot password option, a new page opens. This page provides three options for password recovery on myTHDHR. 

    • Email or text message: You can choose this option if you’re already registered on Supplier Hub, Workday, or Contractor Depot and your profile contains an email address or cell phone number. Choosing this option will require your user ID to continue and the process will move forward with instructions on email or text, as relevant to your profile.
  • RSA Token: Choose this option if you have a registered RSA token. The authentication will rely on your userID and token.
  • Other Method: If none of the other methods are relevant to you, this can work. However, this requires that the computer you’re using is on The Home Depot network, so it should be accessed in a store or any relevant facility.
    Interestingly, this can also be the method used for registering new users or associates on myTHDHR.
