Decide together
Collect honest, anonymous team feedback
Run a retro, a pulse check or an employee survey where people can speak freely.
People only tell you what’s really going on if they feel safe. These settings make that possible.
1. Start from a template
Try the Team retrospective template, or build your own with a few Rating or Opinion scale questions and one Long text question like “What should we change?”. To keep it short for happy teams, show that question only after a low rating with conditional logic.
2. Don’t ask for names
Don’t add a name or contact question, and keep Show respondent names set to Private in the Settings tab.
3. Limit responses without identifying anyone
- Unique code: everyone gets a code. You know each person voted once, but not which answer is theirs.
- Browser session: easy and anonymous, though people could answer twice from a private window. Fine for a friendly retro.
Avoid Email address and Respondent name here: they tie answers to people.
4. Keep results and comments private
Set Access to results and Who can read comments to Only you. Share a summary with the team afterwards.
5. Share it where your team works
Post the link in Slack or Teams, or send it to a saved invite list. Connect Slack to see new responses as they come in.
Make it a habit
For a recurring pulse check, let people vote again once per week or month and follow how the answers change over time.
