Submit Team Suggestions on Focus Areas

Submit Team Suggestions on Focus Areas

You can submit team suggestions if:
  • Your personal dashboard displays your team's or leadership's focus areas, or
  • Your manager or someone in your leadership has notified you of a new focus area by email, regardless if you have a personal dashboard.
After a survey round closes, Peakon suggests various drivers as focus areas based on each team's survey results. Managers can accept recommended focus areas, or set their own focus areas.
When your manager or a senior leader sets a focus area on their dashboard (Example: the Recognition driver), they can encourage their team to submit improvement ideas confidentially by sending a notification with a custom note. However, if you're a personal dashboard user, you can proactively add suggestions to any focus areas that your manager has set. It's not possible to add suggestions to drivers that became focus areas before the release of this functionality.
Providing confidential suggestions helps the manager gain more insight on what their employees would like to happen, especially when there's not enough qualitative feedback. It also helps involve the team in action planning without the pressure of identity reveal.
You can add 1 suggestion per focus area. It's not possible to edit your suggestion after submitting. Once submitted, you can view your own suggestion, but you can't see the suggestions that your colleagues have submitted.
The team suggestion that you submit belongs to the dashboard of the manager that has set the focus area. Example: If your department's director (not your line manager) has set a focus area, the suggestion that you've submitted on that focus area is only available to that director.

    .
When you add a suggestion, it instantly displays on your manager's dashboard. The language that you used to write your suggestion persists, the same way as when you submit comments in the survey.
Your manager has set the Growth driver as a focus area, and has sent an email notification with the following custom message:
Hi team, I've seen a decline in the Growth scores, and would like to hear some feedback on what we can do to improve them.
You can click
Add confidential suggestion
, and add your suggestion confidentially. Example:
Include detailed job descriptions to outline the scope of an employee's role. It would also be great to clarify the differences between all the job levels.
