15Five continues to rapidly innovate to help HR leaders drive successful business and talent outcomes. The funding comes on the heels of two recent product releases:
- With HR leaders looking to retain top talent amidst a tight labor market and shrinking budgets, 15Five has made it simple to identify and segment employees with the potential to make a big impact on the organization. HR teams can then monitor engagement trends among these employees, quickly react to changes in sentiment, and proactively take action to retain them.
- 15Five has also enhanced its performance review calibrations, allowing HR leaders to visualize the distribution of review ratings across different managers and easily adjust those ratings in real-time without leaving the 15Five platform. With enhancements like the drag-and-drop talent matrix and real-time collaboration and change-tracking, customers can be sure their calibration process is fair, transparent, and collaborative no matter the scale of their organization.
