Set Up Confidential, Private, and Anonymous Feedback Options

Set Up Confidential, Private, and Anonymous Feedback Options

Security: These domains in the Performance Enablement functional area:
  • Self-Service: Feedback
  • Worker Data: Confidential Feedback
  • Worker Data: Private Feedback
Workday enables anonymous, confidential, and private feedback by default. You can control which visibility option workers can select on feedback tasks. Use the
Maintain Feedback Setup
task to control settings for anonymous, confidential, and private feedback.
Changing these settings only affects future feedback events, and doesn't change the anonymity, confidentiality, or privacy of existing feedback. Example: You disable confidential feedback. Future feedback isn't confidential but existing confidential feedback stays confidential.
