Review Your Workplace

Can anyone see the review I give my workplace?

No. Your review is confidential and anonymous. Once you submit a review, nobody sees it again -- not even you.

What about the comments I leave about my workplace? Can't everyone see those?

Yes -- your workplace comments are public. We do not identify you, but you are free to identify yourself.

What if my workplace improves or I change my views?

You can submit an updated review every three months. Your new review replaces your old one.

Why do you want my work email address?

We need to verify your workplace. For Workplace Scores to be valid, we make sure that only current employees write reviews. If you prefer to get your mail at your personal email address, you can specify that under the Email tab in My Account.

Why is our Workplace Score different than the average of the attribute scores?

Every workplace is different, so we weigh each workplace attribute according to the importance you assign it. Because some attributes count for more, the Workplace Score is unlikely to be the average of the attributes. 

When you review your workplace, you use the drop-down indicators to tell us which attributes are most important to you. If most people indicate that family friendliness is very important for example, the scores for this category will count more towards the Workplace Score. Note that it is the relative weight that matters: indicating that everything is very important has the same effect as indicating that nothing is important.

I sent in my review. So why doesn’t my company have a Workplace Score?

It takes three reviews for your employer to get a Workplace Score – and of course your Workplace Score is more accurate the more reviews we have. Use our "Tell Friends" feature to add co-workers to your network. We will invite them to submit reviews of your workplace.

My boss makes me nervous. Can she figure out that I am reviewing our workplace?

Not unless you leave a comment that identifies you. 

Can my boss figure out that I am enrolled in WorkScore?

Not unless you ask your boss to be a reference or she asks you. 

Will my review hurt my company?

No. A Workplace Score is a weather report – it is not the weather. A Workplace Score helps your organization measure how well it performs in areas that are of concern to professionals who work there. Once your managers can see these measurements, they are more likely to manage them.

Who can see our company's Workplace Score?

Anybody. We want your managers to know what their people think and we want job candidates to know what it is like to work at your company.
