More details to this question:
We added a DBA name mostly for marketing purposes. Do we have to change our name in all of our policy/HR/Corporate books/manuals where our name is now? Or can we add a addendum to the front of the book that says anywhere you see "company name" also is "DBA name"?

I don't think you have to do either. A dba ("doing business as") is just a name you use to do business, it is not a separate legal entity. If your business is x corp., d/b/a Bob's Pizza, x corp. is still the employer, the paychecks are still drawn on the account of x corp., the office is still leased or owned in the name of x corp., etc.
