Enable Your Employees

Reinforce the value of Workday Peakon Employee Voice at your workplace
Help your employees understand why it’s important to give feedback. Share the Employee Guide with them to help enable use of the platform.

Use internal communication
You can take your internal communication to the next level using a few simple strategies. Prepare and share internal communications materials such as posters or videos from C-suite members. Leverage word of mouth by assigning ambassadors from different teams. Share updates around any actions you might be taking as a result of the survey in company-wide meetings and on internal communications tools (such as Slack or Yammer). This helps employees feel that their feedback is helping to drive change for the business, which can contribute to motivating employees to participate in the survey. 

Enable personal dashboards
The personal dashboard enables employees to drive the change they want to see in their organization. Administrators can enable the personal dashboard functionality and its permissions in the access control section. 

Integrate Workday Peakon Employee Voice
Integration with Slack or MS Teams automatically notify employees when a new survey becomes available. Encourage the use of the Workday Peakon Employee Voice mobile application for push notifications and ease of response.

Use the segments/heatmap 
View by Difference to benchmark to get a more granular view on areas of strength and priority to help with topics of conversation among teams when action planning.

Increase Manager Accountability 

It's crucial that managers are making the most of the platform and owning their teams’ progress. Set clear, precise, time-bound goals for your managers using the suggestions below to drive accountability. We suggest starting with at least 1 action per month and 1 dashboard sharing discussion per quarter.

Share and discuss the dashboard results with your team
Encourage your managers to present their dashboard during team meetings. This can increase participation and allows managers to create an action plan together with their employees. Being transparent helps your employees understand the common goals of your organization and team, guiding them in the right direction. This is a great way to get your team involved in the decision-making process.

Acknowledge comments
Acknowledging comments is one of the biggest drivers of high participation in survey rounds and has a positive impact on the quality of feedback. People leaders have the ability to select from 1 of 5 responses by clicking Acknowledge in the comments and selecting a response.

I agree

Engage in conversations with employees
People leaders can view and interact with comments from survey responses by initiating conversations or adding internal notes directly from comments. Conversations are a great way for managers to gain more insight by asking follow-up questions or simply leaving a response to the comment. 

Understand employee sentiments by reading and acknowledging comments 
As per the Employee Expectations 2022 report, comments left by employees give detailed insights around how organizations can support employees in terms of belonging and diversity, environmental, social, and governance practices. It's essential for organizations to understand what employees have been saying to support high employee engagement. 

Complete the feedback loop
Encourage managers to be the link between employees, senior management, and the Workday Peakon Employee Voice platform, facilitating effective communication and feedback loops by acting on feedback.
