15Five is a SaaS platform aimed at HR and people-ops teams, and their managers, to handle employee engagement surveys, continuous check-ins, performance reviews (including 360° feedback), goal/OKR tracking and analytics all in one. It keeps managers and employees connected and gives HR a “command center” of people-data.
Many companies struggle with outdated annual reviews, low engagement, high turnover or weak manager effectiveness. 15Five addresses those by enabling more frequent, actionable conversations — improving linkage between manager-employee touchpoints and measurable business outcomes (engagement, retention, performance). For example, they claim a typical reduction in regrettable turnover and improvement in manager effectiveness.
If you’re a high-growth tech team, or an organization where culture/feedback matter but you’re scaling fast, this kind of platform can help you keep alignment.
You onboard (employees/managers and optionally integrate your HRIS), set up modules (engagement surveys, check-ins, performance review templates, goals/OKRs).
Managers and employees use weekly check-ins, 1-on-1 agendas, feedback & recognition (“high-fives”), while HR can look at dashboards, calibrate reviews, track manager effectiveness, and link engagement data to retention risk. The tool also offers AI support (e.g., review-writing assistance) and predictive models around engagement.
