August 2023 Release Notes

With this release, we improve the comment analysis capabilities for managers and administrators using Machine Learning, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP). This can help reduce burden for senior leaders and administrators to understand and analyze large groups of comments.

We add a Semantic Topics tab to the Topics area within Comments. With Semantic Topics, we group comments into themes based on their meaning, rather than keywords. This feature is being gradually released over the next week.

With this release, we begin the 12 month retirement notice period for the legacy app.peakon.com, survey.peakon.com and api.peakon.com domains, and we enable a unique subdomain for each customer. Having a subdomain per customer is a step towards enabling customers to choose where data is stored and processed.

We move customers from the legacy domains to their own unique subdomain. Example: If your company name is Kinetar, your subdomain will be kinetar.peakon.com.

During the 12 month notice period, we continue maintaining backwards compatibility of the legacy domains and redirecting old links to the new subdomain links.

We now send an email notifications to survey participants when their manager has added a new priority which is visible on their direct reports dashboard. The modal that displays when setting a priority now contains a copy about the email notification. We also add the priority email notification to the subscription options in user personal profiles.

This feature is being gradually released over the next 2 weeks.

We remove the column that displays the survey language associated to each comment in the comment export. This can help reduce confidentiality risk for comments written by employees in different languages.

Example: If an employee switches the survey to their native language and leaves a comment (whether it's in their native language or company language), the column with their survey language will no longer display.

With this release, we continue making user interface enhancements in Peakon dashboards for a more efficient and intuitive user experience.

We make these user inteface updates:

With this update, we change the order in which dates and times appear on exported integration event logs from HH:MM:SS, YYYY-MM-DD to YYYY-MM-DD, HH:MM:SS, enabling you to better sort by date and time on Excel sheets when you export event logs.

We update industry benchmarks on Workday Peakon Employee Voice with the most recent data from 2023 Q2. This can help you to understand your employees’ behavior as well as how your organization is performing against competition.

With this update, we rephrase the Reward question in the Engagement question set, where %s refers to your organization, to read: I am rewarded fairly (e.g. pay, promotion, training) for my contributions to %s.

With this update, we expand the reporting of Semantic Search, enabling managers and administrators to conduct further analysis.

We add an Export button on the Semantic Search page, enabling you to export the first 10,000 results from the comment rankings, sorted by relevancy to the search query.

We bring the password reset flow that previously displayed in a pop up web view to within the application, creating a more seamless user experience. Now when resetting your password in the Android application, you no longer need to reenter your email address when returning to the application after resetting your password.
