When you answer a survey in Winningtemp, you can add a free-text comment alongside your score. That comment is often the most valuable thing you share. Scores show how things are going, but your words explain why, and that is what helps your manager take the right action for your team.
What happens to your comment?
Your comment is always anonymous, so write as honestly as you like. Your manager can see which question the comment belongs to, but not who wrote it. No other team members can see each other's comments. Avoid mentioning anything that could identify you directly.
If not enough people on your team have responded, your comment will be moved to a higher level in your organisation until there are enough responses to protect your anonymity.
Can your manager reply?
Yes. Your manager can respond to your comment directly in Winningtemp. You remain anonymous throughout the conversation. Your manager is never anonymous. Their name is always fully visible, so you always know who you're talking to. Here's how it looks from the manager's perspective:
You can also choose to keep your comment from your immediate manager by pressing "Do not show this comment to my immediate manager" when submitting your answer. This means only System Administrators and HR Leaders will see it.
💡 How to write constructive comments
You do not need to write much. A sentence or two with the right focus goes a long way. Here is what tends to help most:
- Give some background. What is behind your score? A little context helps your manager understand the full picture.
- Share ideas. If something could be done differently, say so. A suggestion is often more useful than a problem alone.
- Highlight what is working. Positive feedback is just as valuable. It tells your manager what to protect and keep doing.
- Be specific. A concrete example lands better than a general feeling.
Note: Each comment is standalone and anonymous, so don’t reference previous comments, as your manager can’t tell which one.
Get started
- Open the next survey from your email, desktop, or the app.
- Select a smiley
- Write a comment

Edit a message you've sent
Sent a message with a typo or the wrong wording? You can fix it yourself within 15 minutes of sending. Edited messages are clearly marked as Edited, so the conversation stays transparent. You stay anonymous, just like before
- Open the … menu on your message.
- Choose Edit.
- Update your message and save it.
You can edit as many times as you need within the 15 minutes. Editing works for messages in a conversation with your manager or HR, not for the comment you left in the survey.
