Anonymous Employee Feedback — Free, No HR Software Required
Anonymous employee surveys should be simple. Most tools require IT setup, per-seat licences, or force employees to log in — which defeats the purpose of anonymity. AnonPolls requires nothing from employees and nothing from HR.
When to Use It
Weekly pulse checks
"How is the team feeling this week?" — one question, two minutes to set up. Share via Slack or Teams every Friday and track sentiment over time.
Anonymous manager feedback
Honest upward feedback without career risk. Employees say what they actually think when they know their response is not traceable to them personally.
Return-to-office sentiment
Gauge how employees feel about hybrid or RTO policies without forcing public positions. Anonymous input surfaces the real distribution of opinion.
Benefits and policy feedback
Anonymous input on decisions that affect everyone — health plans, working hours, team events. People respond honestly when there's no social cost.
Why Anonymity Matters for Employee Feedback
Employees give more critical feedback anonymously
Anonymous responses often surface more candid feedback than named surveys, because people face less social or career risk.
No login removes the "is this really anonymous?" concern
When employees must log in to vote, they reasonably wonder whether their account ID is logged alongside their response. AnonPolls requires no login at all.
Network-derived identifiers — not personal identities
We store an anonymized identifier derived from the network address (hashed IP) to limit duplicate votes—not a name, email, or device fingerprint. That identifier can't be turned back into a person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can managers see who responded?
AnonPolls shows only totals and percentages. Votes are stored with an anonymized network-derived identifier (hashed IP), not names or emails—so HR or managers can't identify who voted for what.
Does IT need to set anything up?
No. Employees receive a link, click it, and vote in their browser. No software installation, account creation, or IT involvement required.
Is this GDPR compliant?
AnonPolls anonymises voter IP addresses using HMAC hashing before storage. No names, emails, or personally identifiable information are ever collected.
