### "My Review "

December 2, 2019

4.0

Our employees are scattered across the company and this is slowly connecting us.

Pros

I have been able to look all the way down to the lowest level of the org chart to identify issues much quicker. Allowing me to get a better sense of what is going on around the company to assist in the development of our culture.

Cons

I have not really used the home page at all. To much scrolling. Would like to see a single screen snap shot of what I need to see and clickable if I need to drill down. The content seen would be editable by individual users.

Reason for choosing 15Five

Initially we were looking for something to help us align individually and company OKRs. We looked at several companies and narrowed it down to two. During the search we determined that how the product engaged the CFRs was the top priority. We felt that the approach 15five has taken was the best for what we needed.

### " It’s transform to the way we do weekly meetings "

April 19, 2019

5.0

It’s great, I love how easy to use it is.

Pros

I love how easy it is to run weekly meetings now. In fact, because of this software we don’t have to meet nearly as much, because I can get status updates and comment on projects through the software and by asking pointed questions.

Cons

It would be nice if the software had a few more features when it comes to quarterly and yearly reviews.

### "Great value "

October 28, 2019

5.0

Wonderful tool--very user friendly to the admin and employees. Has been a huge help to me as I work with specific audiences to change behaviors or perspectives. The analytics are well presented, and create a compelling story. It provides clarity as to where we need to focus our efforts. The team at Emplify cares about our success and continues to offer valuable insight as we navigate significant change within our organization.

Pros

User friendly, strong analytics and most importantly, I receive strong objective support from our Emplify advocate on next steps following each survey.

Cons

It can be a little challenging to not have a full view of prior surveys in the portal. You can see the progression of the results, but not a full dive into the old surveys. This would be helpful to new executives and managers coming on board.

Reason for choosing 15Five

Better anonymity, customer support and analytics.

### "Pretty great experience so far"

January 16, 2018

5.0

Platform to showcase the work done and milestones achieved by me. It is always said that "Actions speak louder than words", but sometimes you need to deliver what you "ACTIONED" and 15Five gives that opportunity to me.

Pros

It is a great platform to showcase our achievements, good and bad experiences, aims objectives and several other things. It acts as a bridge between the employees, management and HR while each one needs to review their performances.

Cons

Just one thing that it is weekly. It should have been bi-weekly or monthly so that there is much stuff to mention.

### "Feedback"

June 9, 2020

5.0

Very positive. Drives structure to one on ones so we are better prepped and having deeper conversations. Allows for initiative tracking and weekly goals tracking to ensure we are holding ourselves and each other accountable to deliver on our committments.

Pros

simple to use and helps drive healthy habits to deliver for the business

Cons

Appears to be some lacking features but it might just be how my organization has deployed it

### "Great for accountablility"

September 14, 2018

5.0

I like 15 5 as an accountability software. It is a good way to keep up with what everyone is doing and make sure that people are being productive each week. It is easy to use which encourages teammates to do it. It only takes about 10 minutes to fill out, making it a quick and easy reporting tool for everyone.

Pros

I like seeing what is going on each week with my team. I also like giving and getting high fives from teammates.

Cons

Sometimes the questions it asks each week aren't very relevant. I'm not sure if that has to do with how my company has it set up or if it is the software.

### "15Five greatly helps my remote team"

January 15, 2019

5.0

We are tracking our organizational and team objectives in a transparent, effective way. I'm also checking in with my team on a much regular basis.

Pros

I love having a central place where I can keep in touch with my employees, and we are both able to visualize their tasks, objectives, and work plans in one place.

Cons

Most everything is user friendly, but some of the structure (e.g. the best way to sort your objectives and key results) can be confusing to understand at first. It helps to have a great customer service rep for your company.

### "Great way to track goals"

January 29, 2021

4.0

Overall I think this is a really great way for managers to have insight into their employees and also for individuals to reflect and set objectives. I really like using this tool

Pros

15five is a brilliant way for both yourself and your manager to track progress, alongside weekly and monthly goals. I like the ability to be able to fill in weekly feedback where you can reflect on the week but also plan your next week in advance to help give structure. The high fives are a really great way to recognise people in the company especially when most people are more remote now.

Cons

I have found the new update a bit confusing to navigate and the long term objectives can be difficult to keep updated on a regular basis, so it would be good to keep that seperate to your weekly 15five.

### "15Five @ The University of Auckland"

January 17, 2017

5.0

15five has been awesome to improve our staff engagement. It's helped me as a leader keep tabs on what's happening across a broad group of people, and know where I need to focus my effort and provide support.

Pros

Ease of use, clear communication with team, great support from 15five, and even the blog posts have given us really useful insights!

Cons

It requires real commitment, you must prioritise and make time for the team particularly if you have a ton of direct reports.

### "15Five - making personal reflection less annoying"

May 10, 2019

5.0

I think it should be implemented in every organization.

Pros

My team uses the questions feature and we have a bank of questions we each respond to on a monthly cadence. It provides a more direct way to reflect on my progress rather than having to answer a general "how was the week"? It also allows for real self-reflection prior to a 1x1, by writing out my thoughts ahead of time our 1x1s are actionable.

Cons

I wish there was a better notification then email to tell me I missed a week. But I'm not sure one exists. I'm filling this part out because the review wouldn't save if I didn't.

### "15Five Review"

January 15, 2019

5.0

I really appreciate 15Five. It is user-friendly, easy to switch from screen to screen, and integrates with other software we use at my company like Slack. I appreciate the way it also allows me to set weekly and yearly goals. It also provides a forum for my supervisor and me to conduct our 1:1. As a former supervisor, this would have been so helpful to use as I was managing a large team.

Pros

What I love about 15Five is the way it lifts a culture. I am new to my company and using 15Five has encouraged others to highlight my wins as I learn and grow. It also forces me at the end of the week when my review is due to think back on those who contributed to my success and growth and give them a high five (therein encouraging them). I cannot express what a joy it is to use this tool. I wish all of my former employers implemented 15Five to help lift up a more positive culture.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like about 15Five.

### "Weekly Goals, OKRs, and 1:1s In One Software Solution"

April 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

15:5 allows easy and transparent communication between managers and their reports about weekly progress towards key goals. If the company and/or manager truly invests in reading and responding to each 15:5 report, the improvement in team focus is measurable. 15:5 also has a module to track and manage OKRs, allowing weekly and longer term focuses to be measured and tracked in one place.

Cons

The OKR module can be a bit tricky to navigate and set up, especially with cross-team objectives.

### "Trying out a a trial"

November 23, 2019

4.0

I used it for a week as a trial for another employee. I would need to use it for a much longer time to evaluate if it offers any value

Pros

The product did a good job getting you started. Sent an email with links on what to do next. Also send reminders when dates are close

Cons

Once in the tool, I am not 100% what to do. Would be nice to have some hover help on the various areas.

Response from 15Five

November 25, 2019

Hi, Brad, Thanks for giving 15Five a shot. It means a lot to our team that you took time to explore the product in your work environment with a free trial. I understand working with a new product can be difficult. The easier we can make it for you and others to get value out of 15Five, the better. I'd love to speak with you to understand how we could have made your experience, and in turn every 15Five-er's experience, better. Would you be open to having a conversation about this? If so, please share your availability and preferred method for me to contact you. Best, Mike Siemasz Sr. Customer Marketing Manager, 15Five

It's a great tool to align between managers and employees and gauge the temperature.

### "Simple, yet effective."

January 15, 2019

5.0

Helps maintain positive culture, which drives innovation and productivity.

Pros

The simplicity. It really doesn't take long to fill out every week, yet I feel I have the perfect tool to communicate with my managers. I also believe the "High-Five" feature is a great way to drive hype and keep momentum going.

Cons

I wish there was a progress bar for completion.

### "15Five is the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread"

January 15, 2019

5.0

I use 15Five every other week to provide feedback to my manager. It gives me the opportunity to gather my thoughts and reflect on the week, on my accomplishments and struggles, and on how I can improve moving forward.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Direct access to feedback for my superiors - Excellent for self-reflection

Cons

\- Questions can be repetitive - No variation in colors/design - No timeline

### "Survey Details"

July 28, 2020

5.0

Pros

Emplify's engagement surveys break down a lot of categories for what employees need to feel most engaged at their workplace. It's very helpful to have things to focus on already interpreted from within the surveys instead of just tallying and averaging results to individual survey questions.

Cons

They used to have a very nice, fully customizable platform for resource app development, but that went away when Apple made some big changes to their app store policies. While that's not Emplify's focus, it was a very useful addition to their platform that the new surveys-only app does not really live up to.

### "Emplify Review"

November 2, 2019

4.0

We are able to pinpoint problems or successes to certain plants or departments and even to certain shifts within plants. Management team members are feeling more of a personal responsibility for their plants or departments.

Pros

The ability to achieve specific feedback for groups within the survey responses.

Cons

Because things are always changing on the website, sometimes I get a little lost when looking for survey results.

### "The Team's Pulse"

September 23, 2020

5.0

Use it as your team thermometer. Help ensure homeostasis keeps it 100.

Pros

Great product for keeping taking the 'temperature' of your team week-by-week. Team members can submit answers, comments, etc. to various topics, questions, etc. to their direct reports. Folks can even give shout outs to their co-workers. This allows managers and higher-levels to track the attitude, morale, needs, etc of a team through feedback and ratings of how things went that week.

Cons

I felt like the product could get monotonous over time. Perhaps it could work better to be more engaging long-term.

### "A good objective tracker"

May 25, 2020

4.0

Overall, I would recommend the use of 15Five to my friends and colleagues.

Pros

We use 15Five to track objectives in a professional workplace. It is a very good and competent objective tracker that we have been able to use to track objectives as a team, division, and individual. Allowing tracking for objectives on both the weekly scale, up to yearly.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about 15Five, from a truly operational standpoint. It is proficient in what it seeks to achieve and it easy to use.

### "Solid product helps maintain open dialog with leadership "

January 15, 2019

5.0

As a frontline employee it's been great. I don't have insight into managements view but it helps me stay organized.

Pros

Easy to use and provides an outlet for employees to maintain communication with leadership. At the end of the week after filling out 15five I have a chance to reflect on the work I did from the prior week and know I'm focused on the right things.

Cons

Nothing I think the software is great. You get out what you put into it and we've done a great job setting up a very successful program.

### "Offers an alternative to word/ppt status reports - but, lacking key features"

May 12, 2020

4.0

Pros

Ease of use, clean current-gen interface, excellent customer support!

Cons

Some bugs with editing tasks, overly simplistic features, more customization would be great. Linking 15Fives to 1 on 1's would be better instead of having to recreate the work. Enough key features are missing that we end up having to product a word/ppt doc alongside our 15Fives.

### "15Five in Montgomery"

September 11, 2019

5.0

I have been fortunate in getting great, helpful advice from my managers without the dreaded "blow back" one might anticipate in such a setting. It is a chance, every other week, to stay in touch with everyone and share a snapshot view of one's market at that time.

Pros

This software allows me to "be myself" when explaining the ups and downs of my position here in this market. It allows me to voice my concerns in a more candid, private setting.

Cons

Having to stretch for that second and third reason I'm not on top of the world, waiting to explode. For me, it's either good or bad. I try not to hype the good, because it usually short lived. And, I'm hesitant about discussing bad or stressful things going on, due to the tendencies of misinterpretation. I would rather internalize than "whine".....
