How to Use Private Notes

You can take private notes about any coworker. They can be personal notes (strengths, hobbies, etc.), items for future discussion, or notes for your next 1-on-1.

Overview

You can add Private Notes for your own reference about anyone at your organization. Private notes are visible to you only. No one else, not even Admin users of Quantum Workplace, can view your Private Notes. If you create private notes about one of your direct reports and that employee  is transferred to a new manager, their new manager will NOT be able to read any private notes you created. 

You can add or edit private notes about any coworker via their profile or from within a 1-on-1 with that coworker. You can also add Private Notes about your direct report from their Snapshot
