### "Easy to use and great for keeping a company all in the loop together "

June 25, 2018

5.0

its a great way to stay engaged with a team spread out over an entire state and into another state. the information put up gives us an opportunity to learn new techniques and best practices that might not have gotten brought up if we weren't all engaged in such a way

Pros

I like the ease of use and the setup is comparable to most social media so there's no learning curve

Cons

I feel you're limited in some areas it could be operator error but it would be nice to tag people in posts, show up memories from the date. when you're looking at profiles it doesn't leave you where you scrolled it starts over every time you go back. I also wish you could make your profile more unique possibly add more photos specific to your page

### "Great to see all of the offices and the company as whole."

July 5, 2018

5.0

Learning about everyone in the office and the events they are dealing with along with the fun time pics

Pros

Updates & posts from each office & location with details of the photo. Comments and high fives with all of the company involved. Additional tips and updated losses with details of who is making the repairs or responding to the loss.

Cons

Photos are difficult to see sometimes and the comments are difficult at times to access. Additional info of which office the person or post is from.

Increase in engagement with other employees

Pros

This app is a great tool for engagement with other employees, especially those in other offices and to stay up to date on current events in the company.

Cons

At certain times the App is slow to open and to respond, it can seem "glitchy" and then the next day it works perfectly fine.

### "Fun, easy way to connect with coworkers. "

June 19, 2018

5.0

It allows users to connect on a personal level, with people they've not met face to face.

Pros

The ability to connect with coworkers when you've never met them face to face. Gives the user an inside look into the jobs of others.

Cons

The inability to edit a comment after posting. Sometimes the mobile app lags. However, the latest update has helped tremedously.

Keeps all the offices in the loop

Pros

That all the offices can communicate and talk about positive outcomes. It keeps all the offices in the loop to what is going on daily.

June 25, 2018

Able to follow what is going on in the company much easier with Ohana

Pros

The ease of use. I'm not on any social media and find it easy to navigate and understand what is going on and how to use

Cons

Nothing I can think of. Again I am not on social media so have nothing to compare it to. I have been using Ohana for several months and have not come across anything that I didn't like.

### "I love Ohana and how it allows our employees to stay up to date with current evens and news"

June 20, 2018

5.0

Engagement with other employees, being able to stay up to date with announcements, see pictures and videos, etc

Pros

I love the Personal Bios, get to know you questions and high five capability. I feel like we can really get engaged with fellow employees.

Cons

Ohana seems to be difficult to change who can post without authorization or review. We have tried a couple times and failed.

### "I love having a social media site just for our company. It allows us all to stay connected!"

June 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

Once you use it the first time, it is very easy to use and post where we can all celebrate and acknowledge achievements company wide.

Cons

I haven't come across too much about Ohana that I do not like, however, sometimes when posting a picture, it is hard to tell how it is sized and how it will show once approved and posted.

4.0

Pros

easy to navigate, simple and you can see what going on in the business. You can also see the interests of fellow employees.

Cons

I would like to be able to link internet articles related to safety. Not sure if this is possible? If you are able to link articles on the internet to a post please send instructions. Thank you!

### "Great way to keep up to date with what is going on in a larger company."

June 20, 2018

5.0

I found that it is a good way to communicate and keep updated in a larger company. We always know when the next company event is and details of what is happening on a day-to-day basis.

Pros

I like that you can post comments and like others' posts as you can with other social media platforms.

Cons

I don't have anything to complain about other than some technical issues I have had in the past. At one point I would have to restart my phone for the app to work. I haven't had any issues in a while though.

### "It's like our own company's facebook. Great way to communicate and know what is going on "

June 25, 2018

5.0

Know what is going on in the company and all 8 offices

Pros

Easy to like and post and upload photos. Great way to keep in touch with other offices and what is going on. I have clients in all offices so this is great to meet the Hays support and who is on site.

Cons

High Five sometimes I have issues posting and giving praises. I think sometimes it is under used and we should post more about accomplishments in life as well as work.

Communication

Pros

Very simple to use. I have never had a problem with the ap and it is great to use to check out what is happening

### "Much of what is posted is not relevant to me. "

June 20, 2018

3.0

Pros

If used correctly it could be a value to the working community. Advertise with pictures how others do health fair can be of value.

Cons

Most posts are not relevant to me. When a post appears I have to look at it to determine if this is something of value to me.

### "Easy to use app that is helpful for sharing new information with coworkers"

June 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I do like that this is almost like a professional version of Facebook. It keeps me updated with work related posts that I can check in my free time. Also allows me to share things I find with others.

Cons

It is not easy to search for old posts. It would be nice if things went to a persons profile so they would be easy to reference for later. Otherwise you have to try to scroll down the homepage to try to find an old post.

### "As a manager of a small corporate wellness company, I enjoy Ohana and how it connects my team."

June 22, 2018

5.0

Ease of comments and suggestions.

Pros

Ohana is effectively connecting our off-site and remote employees to our corporate headquarters. Posting pictures of the team and our successes has put a positive spin on our team updates.

Cons

Posting pictures is not as efficient as it could be. I have to exit out of the post to find the post button. This is my only complaint with this wonderful app!

June 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

The inherent design behind the software has been the most appealing to me. Great way to keep a mobile workforce connected.

### "It has been a good experience! "

June 22, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like that it has created a way to connect our offices. We have 8 locations, so to have a place where everyone can share things and interact has been helpful and created more of a team feeling.

Cons

Early on we had several issues with people not being able to see news feeds, or the app not working at all. I think the updates have helped that. One thing I am having issues with is that I am not able to see pics before approving them. It shows the post, but not the picture.

### "A user-friendl, easy to navigate, mobile application that allows for connectivity, organization wide"

July 3, 2018

5.0

My team is able to connect with each other easily. It's a one stop shop for many of the employee engagement features we value.

Pros

I like... -The color scheme - The ability to easily scrolls through messages - The contact list, how's simple and easy to see -One stop shop for company info and documents

Cons

\- No significant cons about the software. However, if I have to elaborate... Like any employee engagement software, your company is in a space with significant challenges. For example, you have a user friendly software, but perhaps some individuals may have no interest in connecting with others. If the software offered features to challenge this then I think it could add additional value.

### "General Counsel Review"

May 20, 2021

3.0

We had a good experience with Ohana. Many of our employees really enjoyed connecting with their co-workers, either in the same office or other offices, through using Ohana. Participation was mixed, just as participation in social media in general is. I would say that, overall, our experience with Ohana was a good one.

Pros

We liked being able to create a community among our employees using Ohana. When I was introduced to Ohana, I was told it was much like Facebook, and found that to be true.

Cons

We used Ohana both on our computers and on our phones. There were times when the functionality on our phones was glitchy.
