### Great concept. Makes HR easy. Say goodbye to long meaningless performance reviews.

- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Highly engaged employees and don't need to waste time on pointless long-winded performance reviews from the 1990s.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

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.

#### Cons

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.

#### Vendor response

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

Using Hi5 encourages healthy growth and development, and generally, our team is happier and more productive as a result.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

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.

#### Cons

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

#### Vendor response

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

### Easy form to recognition for the colleagues

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Daniel T.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Software
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: December 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

We are recent using Hi5 for a short time but the acceptation of the solution by the colleagues is great. The easy to use and in special, the opportunity to publish (only for the company) the recognitions do the use of the tool a great place for all of us.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

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.

#### Cons

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

#### Vendor response

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

### Great tool for boosting social interactions, an even better tool for recognition!

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Rameez B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail
- Company size: 1001-5000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: August 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Amazing!!! A free app which encourages recognition and employee happiness/well being in their work and personal lives. Who knew a free app would bring so many people together and even create friendships. Maybe it's what we all want at the end of the day (recognition) but are too afraid/shy to ask for it, all i know is that Hi5 bridges that gap and makes everything so much easier and fun.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Boosted social Interaction: It has allowed me and my team and those in my department to interact with each other more often, it has even promoted new friendships within our department. We usually tend to keep to ourselves and our teams due to our nature of work and break times however, since the implementation of Hi5, people who never spoke to each other are now conversing on a daily basis, to a point where every day they are recognizing each other for whatever it is they may have done. Hi5 has also promoted healthy meetings where we call out these Hi5's and have everyone clap and acknowledge it. It feels good to know that something so simple, breaks that barrier down for someone who is wanting the recognition but is afraid to ask for it. It makes putting yourself out there so much easier because you know that your team will appreciate the work you do, when they see it.

#### Cons

Due to your nature of work you may have to 'find time" to constantly recognize people and commend them. This however does not have to be done immediately and can be done at a later stage. This is nothing with regards to the software(Hi5) but rather by-product of using it. In our department we have quite a large number of people so the app does consume some time however, this wont be for everyone and once again is not a con, just something to keep in mind for larger companies with more employees.

#### Vendor response

Hi Rameez! Hope you're doing well :) What a champ! Thanks for leaving such an amazing review! We definitely agree with you - Hi5 is not for everyone. It works best in SME's, although we do have some larger companies using our app as well! If you ever get stuck on anything, please drop us a line at help@get5.io or just talk to our chatbot (we promise a human will answer!) Warm regards, The Hi5 Team

### Easy to just go in a hi5 someone, and as well as back someone else's hi5

Recognition of effort and jobs well done, as well as a means to offer the same recognition to others

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

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.

#### Cons

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

#### Vendor response

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!

The platform and concept is excellent for a dynamic team such as ours. It gives the sense of everybody being able to interact on the same level while maintaining professionalism. With a company such as DigiBlu, Hi5 has added much value to our credit and reward system within the fraternity. It creates a positive and congenial environment From Top to Bottom.

I love that you can compliment and Hi5 literally anybody in your company. It is sometimes nerve-wracking saying something directly to someone, upfront, especially someone who is a superior in your team. Hi5 allows an excellent platform to say kudos without the awkward encounter!

#### Cons

It took me a while to get used to the features and find out how best to customize my Hi5. It does also take a little while to load the page/entries that you want to view.

Hi Palesa! Thanks so much for leaving this review :D I see you've listed in the cons that you can only give out 10 Hi5's? We recently published an update which gives everyone 5 x Hi5's per week! If you haven't given out all your Hi5's for the week, you lose them. You get a new batch every Monday morning. You can use the Give Gauge (under the My Status tab) to keep track of how many Hi5's you have left to give. Let me know if you have any questions - I'm happy to help! Warm regards, Sharné
