Visibility & anonimity

Here you can define

  • Whether people see feedback given to them at all
  • Whether people see who gave feedback or if it’s anonymous
  • When people see the feedback given (immediately after submission or once shared by the manager)

Who sees the feedback given

Depending on the goal of your feedback, you might not want to collect feedback about people without sharing it with them

For example, if you want to do a…

  • Performance evaluation: Evaluate your people’s performance through their manager’s eyes: Here you’d conduct a downward review and share the results only with the admin, but not the reviewees.
  • Peer Review: Help your managers understand how well their reports get along with their peers: Here you’d conduct a peer review where the feedback is only shared with the reviewee’s managers but not the reviewees themselves.

You can customize this for every feedback type. However, admins will always see any feedback.

Share Feedback, but anonymously

You can let your people give feedback anonymously.

For example, you want to do a…

  • Leadership Evaluation: understand the performance of your leaders: Here you want to conduct an upward feedback and share the results with the managers (and you as admins) only anonymously to avoid any conflict between managers and their direct reports.

You can set up anonymity for each form and stakeholder separately.

Below you find an overview of all possible anonymity settings and what they mean:
