Why use Forge for anonymous feedback?

Anonymous feedback only works if employees actually believe it's anonymous. Most 'anonymous' form tools still log IP addresses, use cookies, or have admin views that can correlate timestamps to individuals. Forge's anonymous mode implements genuine anonymity: IP addresses are not stored, cookies are not set, and submissions have no attribution metadata — only the content itself.

Managers and HR teams get aggregated feedback with no way to identify individuals, even if they wanted to. This genuine anonymity — which employees can verify in our trust documentation — is what drives the honesty that makes the feedback actionable. Teams using anonymous Forge forms see 73% higher candor scores vs. named feedback channels.

How to set it up

1

Create an anonymous form

In form settings, enable Anonymous Mode. This disables IP logging, cookies, and removes submission metadata.

2

Add your questions

Use rating scales for quantitative data, open text for qualitative. Keep it under 5 questions for high completion.

3

Share securely

Distribute the form link via email or Slack. Do not embed in tools that add tracking (e.g., intranet with SSO).

4

Analyze aggregated results

Use the dashboard's sentiment analysis and keyword clustering to identify themes without attributing to individuals.
