I enjoyed the fact that it guides you to becoming more and more comfortable at giving praise to others and boosts work ethic as your efforts are being noticed. > > **Cons**: The website is often a bit delayed not sure if its a traffic issue. > > I enjoyed my experience and look forward to the company wide roll out. The only tip I would offer is that Hi5 champions ( company employee's) would need to be put in place so that consistency is maintained and the true purpose of Hi5 is achieved and not just a temporary hype. ----- ### "Hi5 is the glue of our team" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 June 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best part about High5 is that it actively promotes feedback and recognition in the workplace. This has proven benefits to team morale and positive culture. High5 makes it easy and entertaining to make sure you visit the platform regularly\! Its visually dynamic layout brings a welcome break to the average day on the desktop, I find myself sometimes revisiting old High5's just to get the boost again. > > **Cons**: The software is still being developed and it is sometimes a little bit cumbersome to look at or get around. There can be an improvement in the 'flow' from screen to screen. Some times the GIF function does not work and it only displays partially on the wall. > > I enjoy the application immensely but will say that there needs to be a constant effort in terms of how we engage and at what points. I find that sometimes I forget to put a high5 on the platform and then weeks go by without taking the time to acknowledge a colleague. Perhaps the app can start to grow out into integration on Gmail and other platforms to make it easier to give praise quickly and seamlessly within the workday. ----- ### "Hi 5" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 June 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: That you can let a colleague know they doing a great job or that they are just an awesome person > > **Cons**: being forced to give Hi 5 every month. Then having to give Hi5's just because you need too. It annoying and not sincere > > Its OK, I really cant say i love it, but I'm not mad at it either ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171554/hi5?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171554/hi5) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
