Concept: Anonymous Feedback

Concept: Anonymous Feedback

Workday enables workers to provide anonymous feedback. Feedback providers or requestors can select whether or not Workday displays the feedback provider's name alongside their feedback. You can give or request anonymous feedback on these business processes:
  • Get Feedback on Worker
  • Get Feedback on Self
  • Give Feedback
Anonymous feedback can be private or confidential, meaning feedback is only visible by certain users and Workday doesn't display the feedback provider's name.
When feedback is anonymous, Workday replaces the requestor's or feedback provider's name with
Anonymous
in reports. When you disable anonymous feedback using the
Maintain Feedback Setup
task, Workday displays the requestor's or provider's name in future feedback events.
You're an HR Administrator at Global Modern Services and want to use anonymous feedback to drive workers' career development. On the
Maintain Feedback Setup
task, on the
Give Feedback
section clear the
Disable Anonymity
check box. Employees at GMS can now give or request anonymous feedback. If an employee gives anonymous feedback, no one will know that the employee gave the feedback. If an employee requests anonymous feedback on another worker or themselves, Workday won't display the feedback giver's name.
Mike is an engineer at Global Modern Services. After completing a project, Mike wants to give constructive feedback to his teammate, Mary, but wants it to be anonymous. Mike uses the
Give Feedback
task to give anonymous feedback to Mary. In the request, Mike clears the check box in the
Show my name?
section so that
Anonymous
displays on the feedback instead of Mike's name. Mike then selects the
Share with Mary
option under the
Feedback Sharing
section.
