Workday Peakon Employee Voice

We use Peakon across our entire company. We gather feedback from teams every week to understand exactly what employees are thinking in real-time. Imagine running programs on assumptions, versus exactly what employees are asking for and things we should continue to do well and double down our efforts. The system provides feedback to the company and leaders in a real-time manner, so we can make critical people and business decisions on a regular basis. It also allows you to double click on comments and suggestions and have a dialogue with the employee directly all the while keeping their anonymity.

Peakon is a great solution whether you are thinking of pulsing your employees weekly, monthly, or even yearly. The solution provides great dashboards, easy reporting, on the fly segmentation creation, and ways to really dive deep into your people data. I think it's a bit expensive for very early-stage companies, so I would love to see them create a startup/early-stage version or pricing because it has become an invaluable tool for any size company.

Peakon is used by the entire company. It allows employees to provide completely anonymous feedback about everything from managers, departments, and individual responsibilities to leadership, the company vision, and roadmap choices. Everyone at the company gets an email notification to complete a new optional survey every two weeks. The HR department uses these answers to better understand how employees are feeling, and work to solve critical complaints.

Peakon is a very simple way to get valuable feedback about your company. For very very small teams, it would be difficult to keep the results anonymous even though Peakon aggregates responses for small teams. Aside from that, it's difficult to think of a company that wouldn't benefit from such a quick, clean survey every few weeks. Especially in large companies, where leadership can start to get separated from the levels below, this sort of feedback is critical.
