## Reviews

### "features review" — 5.0/5

> **robert** | *8 September 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the culture rating meter works effectively to show how rich or poor a company's culture is. in less than 30 minutes the software calculates essential values such as integrity and team work to determine culture rating
> 
> **Cons**: the culture rating feature requires top level skills to understand due to the graphical presentations offerec by the software
> 
> the software has enabled quick tracking of organizational goals and culture

### "Great concept. Makes HR easy. Say goodbye to long meaningless performance reviews." — 5.0/5

> **Geoff** | *26 June 2018* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Highly engaged employees and don't need to waste time on pointless long-winded performance reviews from the 1990s.

### "Hi5 review" — 4.0/5

> **Carvin** | *20 September 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to show your appreciation for colleagues - this helps with team building and culture in the company
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes especially when new to the system it can be difficult to navigate to the hi5 page to give a hi5 or to see e.g. leaderboard
> 
> I think it improved our company culture and would recommend it to other companies

-----

### "Team spirit" — 5.0/5

> **Michelle** | *2 July 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Using Hi5 encourages healthy growth and development, and generally, our team is happier and more productive as a result.

### "Easy form to recognition for the colleagues" — 4.0/5

> **Daniel** | *11 December 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is easy to use application really friendly.&#10;In a view, you can check the contributions and recognitions of the colleagues and, could add your comments, images or smiles. &#10;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.&#10;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.
> 
> 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.
