Overview
15Five is a performance management platform that combines weekly check-ins, OKR/goal tracking, engagement surveys, 360° feedback, and structured 1-on-1s in one system. It targets mid-market and enterprise HR teams and pairs the software with manager training and coaching add-ons to improve manager effectiveness and retention.
The problem 15Five solves
HR teams that run annual performance reviews on spreadsheets and one-off survey tools end up with feedback that arrives too late to change anything and managers who only talk to reports twice a year. 15Five solves this by putting weekly check-ins, structured 1-on-1s, OKR tracking, and engagement surveys in one platform, so performance conversations happen continuously and reviews become a summary of data already collected. It fits mid-market organizations trying to improve manager effectiveness and retention, not companies looking for a full HRIS.
