Feedback sharing in Workday

Audience: Employees and managers 

Who Sees Feedback and How to Choose the Right Option 

Workday Feedback gives you clear choices about who can see feedback. These options are designed to support trust, transparency and positive use of feedback, whether you are giving it or requesting it.  

Giving Feedback to Someone Else

Choose how your feedback is shared:

Your intention 

What to select in Workday 

Who can see the feedback 

Keep feedback private from the employee 

Don’t share with <employee name> 

  • The employee’s manager 

  • The manager’s next-level leader (with Workday access) 

Share feedback directly with the employee  

Share with <employee name> 

  • The employee 

  • You (the feedback provider) 

Share more broadly for visibility and alignment  

Share with others  

  • The employee 

  • The employee’s manager 

  • The manager’s next-level leader 

Good to know: Including a manager should never be a surprise. Feedback is most effective when it is shared openly and with care.  

Requesting Feedback on Yourself

Your intention 

What to select in Workday
