Hi5 Technologies Testimonials

"What I like about Hi5? It gives us a great opportunity for ways in which people can interact. I love the fact that energy is created when people receive Hi5's. You might think that a digital Hi5 seems a little bit odd in comparison to walking over and tapping someone on the shoulder, but it's surprising how much excitement and energy people get just from receiving some accolades and affirmation from friends. I love the fact that there's new functionality being added in that can be used to drive different streams of employee engagement, and certainly it's become a part of our culture and enabled us to reward people who really deserve to be rewarded on a very egalitarian and collaborative way of doing that. We've been using Hi5 for a while. Certainly, there's been a lot of energy that's been added, and I think the simplicity of the tool has helped."

"So, M&C Saatchi Abel is a marketing communications advertising agency group. We’ve got a number of agencies within our stable and probably up to 200+ employees across the different companies in the group. "What I particularly love about Hi5, especially in my role - from the back end, setting up the systems and managing it - [is that] in the past it has been a heavily administrative paper nightmare and a mountain of work. So, certainly if you look at just streamlining those efficiencies it’s cut down our time in the back end to set up, manage, help & equip our people to do this, probably by weeks if not a month, to consolidate and simplify that process. "[Hi5 has made it] a lot easier! And I think certainly for our people it’s a very easy platform, user-friendly, intuitive. It’s very easy to get it kick-started in a couple of weeks or a month later to get all the data consolidated to give really rich insights & data that we can use to better understand our own people. "[What I love about Hi5 is] I think absolutely the Hi5 feature in terms of recognising peers and our people and what they do every day. If you can’t rely on managers to spot who’s working every weekend, who’s done what and actively encourage all of our staff every single day... whether it be a small gesture on an e-mail that says 'Thank you!' or the public wall on Hi5 that says 'this person deserves a shout-out' and why don’t other people back that. "It’s an active thing, so people can engage with it every single day as opposed to evaluation of the feedback on a quarterly or bi-yearly basis.”
