Two-way anonymous

Trusted by leaders and HR professionals at more than 60,000 companies

Start a private conversation

Start a private back‑and‑forth with employees without learning who they are. Turn on Direct Anonymous Replies, optionally collect an email for follow‑ups — we store it securely and don’t expose it to managers — and keep the thread going until you have what you need. When the answer helps everyone, publish a public reply to show progress without revealing identities.
