15Five Announces Transform, an Innovative Approach to Manager Development
15Five, the leading human-centered performance management platform, has launched Transform, a leadership training and coaching offering built to enable managers to simultaneously drive employee engagement and business results.
The latest addition to the full 15Five solution, Transform is a combination of customized coaching and online educational offerings designed to unlock the leadership potential of all managers. Learning the skills to connect actions to results, managers are empowered to harness the strengths and capabilities of their teams while they become better leaders.
“We know from our research that managers play a huge role in driving employee performance and engagement and attaining key business goals. This has been especially true over the last 18 months,” said Kathi Enderes, vice president of research for The Josh Bersin Company. “Developing the types of leadership capabilities needed for today’s work world takes more than traditional training. Coaching, practice, and ongoing feedback are required in order to make sustained change, and most companies have found this type of development to be prohibitively expensive. Solutions like Transform can help companies foster these next-generation leadership capabilities in a scalable and efficient way.”
Transform’s blended learning model upskills managers to become champions of better performance and engagement, and includes five essential elements:

Coaching and Development Tailored to the Individual
Transform is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead tailors the coaching and training to each company, their managers’ needs and specific performance challenges. Instead of a static library created for passive viewing, Transform provides dynamic and interactive coaching and resources to help companies realize their business goals.
A Dedicated In-house Team That Partners With Clients
15Five uses an in-house team to partner with the client’s organization in order to take action and move business metrics. Unlike other solutions on the market, coaching is not out-sourced to a third-party vendor with only a transactional interest in the client’s success. 15Five’s in-house team is trained, experienced and positioned to understand and help clients meet their goals.
The Primary Focus Is on Business Results
While 15Five recognizes the importance of learning outcomes, Transform’s primary intent is positively impacting a client’s higher-level business goals, including growth and customer satisfaction, while ensuring employee engagement and retention.

Real-time Practice and a Continuous Feedback Loop Foster Ongoing Improvement
Transform takes a unique approach that moves beyond passive learning through on-demand pre-recorded videos or instructor-led training. Working with a coach in real-time, managers practice the skills they have learned in the flow of their work, apply their learnings, and then receive continuous, actionable feedback on how to improve.
Solution Is Paired With Software to Further Drive Impact
15Five is the only solution to combine software with in-house, qualified expertise. Pairing Transform with 15Five’s software products enables the manager to take action and solidify behavior change and also perform insight-generating activities such as tracking and reporting. For example, Transform trains managers to develop effective Objectives and Key Results and coach their teams to complete them, which is aligned to 15Five’s Focus product—a goal setting and measurement tool.
“This was a transformative experience that helped our managers and executives understand how to leverage their own strengths to cultivate the strengths of their teams,” said Tarveen Forrester, head of people operations at Tastemade. “Our team was thoroughly engaged and came away with new insights and tools that they were able to immediately translate into action—such as giving feedback that fosters employee growth, creating efficiency through delegation, and being more assertive and confident. We found the program to be incredibly effective.”
