Hi5 Features

Ease of use, connects you to everyone at the same time

Nothing that I know of always on track , love it

Hi Nokuthula! We really appreciate your feedback! We're so happy to hear that you using Hi5. Please let us know if you ever have any questions, email us at help@get5.io Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

Hi5 is a great platform to boost employee engagement and encourage recognition. We used the surveys extensively which are intuitive and easy to use. It helped my team share their voice.

Despite the ease of use improvements since we first used it, there are further improvements which would make Hi5 a winner product. Navigation can be improved a bit. We are still exploring the platform.

Hey Ashish! We're super stoked that you and your company have been enjoying Hi5! We'd definitely like to hear more about your recommendations for the app navigation - hit us up at help@get5.io Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

I thoroughly love being able to commend my colleagues and give credit where it's due. Working in a big organisation sometimes means the smaller deeds are left unnoticed. Often we appreciate colleagues but never actually let them know. It's great to have a platform that reminds you (super grateful for the email reminders by the way) to be conscious about your peers and the small and large contribution they are making.

I think the website could be more refined. It feels a bit cluttered and i sometimes don't know where things are. There's a lot going on on the homepage.

Hi Annette! Thanks for leaving us your review! We <3 that your company is benefiting from our platform, and we'll definitely look at improving the dashboards (we're looking for more ways to simplify and improve Hi5!) Warm regards, Sharné

The software is easy to use and makes showing appreciation easy in a culture where the art of giving positive feedback is sorely neglected. It is a fantastic move into the future of employee appreciation as it allows a more agile and cumulative approach to the performance review nightmare that everyone faces at the end of the year.

It doesn't take into account the people within the company who do not work in a team. the only person that sees what these people do is the manager and sometimes the client. This can cause a skewed view when it comes to overall performance within the company.

Hi there! We really appreciate that you took the time to leave us a great review! We hear that a lot; that some people within companies don't work closely with others and therefore might seem as though they never do anything Hi5-worthy However, as you mentioned, most people have at least a manager or a client that they work closely with. It's very important for those manager to Hi5 their team members in order to make sure their achievements don't slip through the cracks. Likewise, each Hi5 user has a unique QR code and link for External Hi5's, which enables clients to give them recognition! Check it out on our Features page: www.get5.io/features/external-hi5s Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

The fact that you can give/receive recognition to or from peers/managers without it having to be a physical conversation, it is sometimes hard to find time to appreciate what employees do in a busy work environment. This app makes is easier and saves time, i like that the recognition is visible to everyone as this drives motivation. The setup was easy, and the training/presentation was great.

There isn't really something i didn't like, but if i have to mention something maybe it would be the profile picture. Not sure if i did it incorrectly but it would be nice to have the option to set your own profile picture instead of it selecting one for you during the initial setup but this is probably something that is there that i just missed.

Hi Michael! Great to hear your feedback, and we love your suggestion of nudging users to back Hi5's that have been given In terms of changing your profile pic - we didn't want to give you a mundane silhouette as a placeholder, so we opted for animal pics But you can definitely personalise this by going to your My Profile tab and clicking on your placeholder profile pic. Happy Hi5'ing! The Hi5 Team Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

Very ease access load very faster and no pop ups make for better user friendly, allow link s between you and management

I feel more emotion needs to be add for what you saying about the person you Hi5ing Emogis will be great

Hi Granville! We love the feedback you've given about adding more emotion to recognition! Did you know that you can add images, animated GIFs & Giphy's, as well as emoji's to your Hi5's? If you haven't tried these features just yet, let me know and I'll be more than happy to show you how! Warm regards, Sharné Hi5 Hero

-It reminds me of a peer's birthday -Uplifting when extra effort is appreciated

-Notifications are annoying -Could affect productivity in a minor way

Hi Mariska! Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback We understand that Hi5 is not for everyone. We also know that it's difficult to make time to appreciate your co-workers, and we never want Hi5 to hinder this. Hi5 is a tool to facilitate employee recognition, feedback & engagement, and we love that you find it useful for uplifting your colleagues! Please reach out to us at help@get5.io so our Support team can help you out ;) Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

-I enjoy the ease of use -Fun interactive interface

-The interface is a little busy -Can be slow from time to time

Hi Darren! Thanks so much for your review :) We're so happy that you enjoy our light-hearted, fun yet powerful interface. We'll get in touch with you to get some extra details and see how we can get better. Warm regards, Sharné

I like that it creates a public channel where we can post positive feedback to my team members. It is always good for people to get a view of how their efforts are recognized. We work in a high pace environment, where giving recognition is often just a pat on the back and then quickly forgotten the next time something takes priority. So with Hi5 we have somewhere to actually record this recognition.

Currently the user interface feels a bit busy. Quite a lot of things happening on the Wall of Fame page. Having multiple features on the left and right hand side might be a bit too much. Perhaps an addition to the product could be to provide some aspect of "critical" feedback to be sent privately to a team member. Just to assist them to find ways for personal improvement. I understand this could potentially take away the "feel-good" factor that Hi5 is trying to promote in organisations, but it could help for people to get a view of where their peers would want them to improve.

Hiya Sheu! Thanks so much for leaving us a review :) we really appreciate the feedback. For giving more critical feedback, why not look at using Pulses with Goals or Culture ratings included? This way you can solicit more performance-orientated feedback from co-workers. Need more info? Ask us at help@get5.io Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

The best part about High5 is that it actively promotes feedback and recognition in the workplace. This has proven benefits to team morale and positive culture. High5 makes it easy and entertaining to make sure you visit the platform regularly! Its visually dynamic layout brings a welcome break to the average day on the desktop, I find myself sometimes revisiting old High5's just to get the boost again.

The software is still being developed and it is sometimes a little bit cumbersome to look at or get around. There can be an improvement in the 'flow' from screen to screen. Some times the GIF function does not work and it only displays partially on the wall.

Hi there! Thank you for leaving us a great review :) Please reach out if you ever need some help! Email help@get5.io Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

I love how easy it is to use this software. Every feature has been designed with ease of use and speed in mind. I don't have a lot of spare time on my hands, so finding time to review colleagues or give praise - but with Hi5, I can do that in less than 5 minutes. They also strive to make HR - something that is painful and boring - into something fun and exciting

If there is anything I don't like about Hi5, it has been the overall speed of the platform. Unfortunately the more information, staff and Hi5s you have, means the platform slows down - taking longer to load.

Hi there! Thanks so much leaving us a review - we really appreciate the time you took to give us valuable feedback! We're continuously looking at ways to improve Hi5 and optimise the speed. If you ever need help with using Hi5, please don't hesitate to get in touch at help@get5.io! Warm regards, Sharné Hi5 Hero

Easy to use and all hi5's are visible for everyone to see, so the recognition is clear. Backing other hi5's makes it possible to have a single hi5 reason with multiple votes instead of multiple hi5's that relate to the same thing.

All operations that wait for the server to complete consume too much of the user's time. The frontend of backend processing needs to be speeded up

Hi Brendan! Thanks so much for your awesome rating! We also really appreciate the advice you listed - we are constantly looking at ways to improve Hi5 and make it better. We are also continuously optimising the speed and experience. Get in touch with us at help@get5.io if you ever experience any problems and one of our Hi5 Heroes will assist! Warm regards, Sharné Hi5 Hero

I like the fact that it gives everyone in the company the ability to review each other and see who is delivering on being a Hi5 worthy employee. It gives the people who would otherwise fly under the radar for their achievements an opportunity to be recognized for their efforts.

the recognition is departmentally based. What I mean by this is that only the people that you interact with on an everyday basis have the option of giving you a Hi5. This makes it easier for employees who are interacting with multiple departments across the company to get Hi5's, no matter how hard the 'limited' employees may try to get Hi5's, it all depends on the people they are in contact with. This has the possibility of having the adverse effect of the softwares' aim by decreasing morale as the effort would not reflect as the employee would hope.

Hi Alex! Thanks so much for leaving your review of Hi5! We'd love to chat more about what you're experiencing regarding Hi5-giving? There is no limitation on who is allowed to receive & give Hi5's in your company (Everyone can give recognition on Hi5!). You can Hi5 anyone in your company who has activated their account (if you can't find them easily on your list, try searching by name). If this person hasn't activated their account yet, you will be able to send them a reminder to activate (invite via Desktop only), but will only be able to Hi5 them once they're active. Please reach out to us at help@get5.io so we chat about this :) Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

Simple to explain the idea of giving Hi5. We have created a monthly competition where the person who receives most hi5's wins a prize. Keeps employees engaged and on a path to excellence.

No reporting on app - need to go to web for that. Not a deal breaker but would nice to see some stats on the go.

Hi Geoff! WOW thanks for this amazing review! Although we'd like to keep the apps as simple and easy to use as possible, we are definitely looking into adding some of the reporting features! Keep Hi5'ing, Sharné Hi5 Hero

Recognising Peers does volumes for morale. This is the main reason i make a special effort to use this app.

I cannot think of a single downside of the actual software. I just wish management would use it more. Especially C level executives.

Hi there! Wow, it's amazing to hear that co-workers are able to connect with each other more because they have a platform to give recognition. You are right - management need to be as involved as employees, if not more, in giving recognition. We're publishing a blog article soon addressing this very issue. Thank you for your feedback and we hope we can help your company in the near future! Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

Integrating ratings into the software enables team members to have an accurate understanding of true value. Using Hi5 has also elevated team spirit and encourages team members in areas of growth and development.

Self-ratings. But that is more to do with the fact that one has to self analyse value, rather than the software itself.

Hi Michelle! Wow, we love what we're hearing - it's great news that your team is happier and more productive since using Hi5! When it comes to self-ratings, it's a great way to reflect on your personal growth at your company. With our new Pulses feature Admins can toggle Self-ratings on/off. Please feel free to reach out again if you have any more feedback for us! Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

Builds individual and group moral Comments ensure that people know what they did well and continue doing that. I like the fact that the comments stay on our walls can be seen by everyone. Hi5'ing peoples Hi5's if we don't know what to write but we agree with the Hi5

Overload of emails reminding us to Hi5 Why am I asked to Hi5 people on their birthdays? They didn't do anything in the work space worth mentioning. They were literally born.

Hi there! Wow, thanks so much for your wonderful insights! It's amazing how a little recognition and feedback can go such a long way. We're sorry to hear that you're not finding the email notifications too helpful! You can unsubscribe by clicking on the link at the bottom of the email at any time. Hi5ing people on their birthdays is not compulsory but we do find it really makes their day ;) Please reach out to help@get5.io if you ever have any queries. Warm regards, Sharné

1) We love the ability to have internal team members review each other and raise visibility of the areas that are important to the team 2) I love the 'TV' which we have setup in the office to have the entire team see who is being recognized and for what

Some of the areas around the Values display descriptions rather than values. Also when it comes to the layout of the menu items I don't always find it intuitive. I sometimes have to poke around to find what I'm looking for - most recently the reports after we conducted a 360 review. In short, the administration GUI could be a little simpler.

Hi Paul! Hope you're well :) We're super happy to hear that you're enjoying Hi5 and the value it brings for Nclose. We agree that the Admin GUI can still be improved, and we're definitely working on that! If you ever get stuck, please reach out to help@get5.io or simply chat to us online via the chatbot in the bottom right-hand corner of the app. Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

I like the mobility of praising colleagues, and rewarding them on a digital platform that's closed to the company.

Loading time is a big downer. Some software updates does not occur unless you log out and back in.

Hi Ryno! Thanks so much for leaving your review! I'm so sorry to hear that the app has been slow and updates have not been behaving as expected. Please could you reach out to help@get5.io when you get stuck, so we can troubleshoot the issue with you? Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

It is easy to use application really friendly. In a view, you can check the contributions and recognitions of the colleagues and, could add your comments, images or smiles. The option to filter the messages that you would like to see in the feed is really fantastic, having a lot of different filters to tune your search. The publication of recognition or message is really easy.

Despite the feed panel is clear, in my opinion, the recognitions boxes are too big and are necessary to do a lot of scrolling.

Hi Daniel! Thank you for leaving us a stellar review! We're so happy that your company is enjoying Hi5! If you're keen to chat to one of us, please reach out to help@get5.io and chat to one of our Hi5 Heroes. Have a great day, The Hi5 Team

It's easy, interesting and exciting to use. We are always busy with work and hardly complement in person. This platform has minimised time and effort by giving us an option to acknowledge colleagues at the comfort of our desks.

I have not really discovered much that i do not like about the software as i am still a new user.

Hi Diana! Wow, we're so happy that Hi5 has helped you recognise your co-workers! Thanks for leaving your review. Please reach out to us at any time you may need some help, or just want to say Hi. Warm regards, Hi5 Team

Ease of use Its different from any other performance management systems Instant recognition Builds team morale

I can't think of anything negative about this product. It really is very simple to use and implement in the business.

Hi Alison! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate your feedback! Please let us know what we can improve on? Warm regards, Sharné Hi5 Hero

It's so easy to set up the team and start dishing out recognition for good work. I also really liked how everything is phrased/the tone of voice - it fits our company really well. We are a small team and this is perfect for us - we fit in the free segment

Sometimes it hangs when transitioning between screens.

Hi Jack! We're super excited to have StreamGo onboard! Thanks for leaving your review :) We're continuously implementing improvements to the loading speed of Hi5. Please hang with us until we get it to run more smoothly ;) Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

The software is great for creating awareness, and gets a lot of activity and engagement form the employees. I found it very easy to access and use.

I am not sure how much training was done to ensure that the communication around the system complements it. if maybe the administrators of the system can be assisted with some guidance of how to incorporate the system to a bigger change process, be it culture or values, but it can't be a stand alone, neither can it be regarded as a culture change system.

Hi Thami! We really appreciate your review and the feedback on training Admins on a change system as a whole, with Hi5 as a tool to facilitate this. We have Hi5 partners all over the world who can assist in implementing culture change and growth in larger companies like Kia. You can check them out at www.get5.io/partners-directory Please reach out to us at any time if you have more juicy feedback - we love it! Warm regards, The Hi5 Team
