15Five

HR Software

4.6

15Five is a performance management platform built around the philosophy of continuous feedback and employee development, named after the concept that employees should spend 15 minutes writing a weekly check-in that managers can review in 5 minutes. Its weekly check-in feature creates a rhythm of regular communication between managers and reports, surfacing challenges, celebrating wins, and tracking priorities without the formality of scheduled meetings. 15Five includes OKR and goal tracking, peer recognition, engagement surveys, and a unique Best-Self Review process that focuses on strengths and growth rather than traditional punitive performance reviews. The platform is designed to create psychologically safe workplaces where employees feel heard and developed, making it particularly popular with progressive companies that view performance management as development, not evaluation.
