Import Employee Record Languages

Import Employee Record Languages

Security:
View employees
 and
Update employees
.
The first time Peakon sends an employee their survey, it uses the first survey language from your survey schedule configuration, unless the employee already has a language on their employee record.
After that, Peakon detects the employee's browser language for the next survey, if that language is available in the schedule's settings. For more information on languages, see Concept: Supported Languages and Language Detection.
Setting the employee language record manually ensures that each employee receives their first survey in the intended language. You must set employee record languages at the latest 1 day before the survey round opens.
If the intention is for everyone to receive the survey in the same language, we recommend instead restricting the survey to that language only, directly in the survey settings.
You can use the excel import method to bulk update the language on employee records.
