      Your honest feedback is much appreciated. It can be hard to navigate review periods. As a potential solution, we suggest speaking to your manager to better understand the system of raises and bonuses. At Workday, performance-based payment is standard and each team designs the relevant criteria. This should help address any confusion. If you have any other worries, consider sending in a Peakon survey, getting in touch with our Employee Relations at employee.relations@workday.com, or making use of our SpeakUp reporting hotline, which guarantees anonymity.
