Can an employer find out who wrote a Glassdoor review?

I've recently become a proud owner of a company Glassdoor review and I would like to know more about it.

Is it possible for an employer to find out who wrote this? To answer that question, I have to clarify what I mean with writing a Glassdoor review. It seems to me that employers can find out who wrote a Glassdoor review and they could find out which employee(s) did so, but they cannot find out the content of the review or anything else. Is that right? If yes, how is that possible?

If there are any legal complications here, I can imagine this might be interesting for attorneys. I'm not an attorney, so I'd be interested in hearing from them.

I've had some concerns lately concerning reviews I posted on Glassdoor. At the moment I work in a small, but growing company. We're just now becoming visible on the Glassdoor site, which we found to be a great marketing tool. I have a feeling the reviews I am posting will be scrutinized very closely. But they're not very detailed. Some of my posts are even kind of tongue in cheek. And no, I didn't receive a commission.

I suspect these reviews won't last as long as more traditional kinds of reviews on my resume. Do you think I'm paranoid, or is this a valid concern(4). There are two ways to write a review on glassdoor. The first one is anonymous which means your full name isnt shown. The second one is that only an authorized employee can fill out the form. Which means full name must be shown.

The 2nd option can be chosen when entering an organization. Or you can choose the 2nd option when filling the review form. Anonymous reviews are not anonymous per-se, it is only that none of your data (eg full name) is disclosed. And I suppose if it has been signed by a member of your organization then all is fine. Thanks, this cleared things up, and I'll be sure to read over the whole thing from now on. My experience was similar to this except the review was more detailed and I was given a name. I am an Admin at a company too small to appear in the directory.

Glassdoor is a very popular site for employment reviews. Its popularity has resulted in many employers trying to control or stop employee's use of it.

Glassdoor is a free website, so an employer may not realize that it has become a source of valuable information for employees. It's one thing to tell people what they should and shouldn't do; but telling them what they cannot do is entirely another. The reality is that employers can be held responsible for comments posted by their employees, and even the ones posted anonymously. The idea behind using a company's Glassdoor review scores is based on the premise that workers are going to use the ratings in the event that they make decisions about job-seeking. But the more people that are allowed access to it, the more people will be able to use it. It's like putting a gun out into the streets. If you want to have complete control over your workforce, then having access to this information is an excellent way to accomplish it.

When an employer tries to limit or remove reviews, it becomes less than effective because it gives employees another place to express the true feelings about the organization. In my book, The Complete HR Handbook for Small Business Owners, there's an entire chapter about negative feedback. I believe it's important to know what is being said about you or your company, so you know what is working for you and what isn't. Even though Glassdoor is a free service, your employees aren't free to post feedback about you or your company.

I believe it's important to let employees express their opinions, especially if they don't know who to talk to about problems or complaints. But employers are always trying to figure out how to eliminate all negative reviews, so they can have the perfect record. However, the only way you can have zero negative reviews is if you have zero employees!

One of the main reasons employers create negative reviews is to see who else has the same issues as their employees. For example, when you have a bad day, it's easy for you to go on Facebook, share your frustrations, and leave a negative review of the person who sent you to the restroom.
