15Five

15Five operates an AI-powered performance and people management platform aimed at improving employee engagement, performance and retention. The product is organized into modules: Perform (performance reviews, goals and alignment, progress tracking), Engage (engagement surveys with predictive analytics and built-in action planning), Compensation (compensation insights, pay range management, real-time benchmarking and an employee total rewards dashboard), Manager Products (the Kona AI assistant and coach, group and 1:1 coaching, and an on-demand content library), and an Outcomes Dashboard that consolidates performance, retention and engagement metrics with demographic and performance filters, shareable executive dashboards and centralized action planning and impact reporting.

The company positions the platform as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, HRIS and payroll systems, with integrations to HRIS and other workplace platforms so that data stored elsewhere can be acted upon within 15Five. Recent additions described on the company website include AI Agents — agentic workflows launching with a Focus Brief and AI-Assisted Reviews — and Growth Studio, a module combining employee development and talent planning, whose Explore workspace visualizes talent on a customizable 9-box talent matrix and supports launching individual development plans, performance improvement plans and succession plans.

Business model

15Five sells software to organizations, with published pricing and a demo-led sales motion; the platform is offered as a set of modules (Perform, Engage, Compensation, Manager Products, Outcomes Dashboard, Growth Studio) that customers adopt alongside their existing HRIS.

Traction

The company states that over 3,000 organizations use 15Five. Customer testimonials cite outcomes such as retention near 94% at Auror and a reduction in turnover from 40% to 32% at Kreg Tools.
