To increase Inspiration, 15Five recommends...

  • Use our Best-Self Kickoff

    Encourage managers to complete our Best-Self Kickoff template with team members to understand what they need to do their best work.

  • Reflect on your impact

    Encourage People Ops/HR to leverage 15Five’s Best-Self Review™, specifically Growth & Development question #4, to give people the opportunity to say what impact they would like to have. Question #4: What impact do you want to have on the company before your next review? What next steps do you want to take?

  • Meet your customer in person

    Encourage managers to find opportunities for their team members to meet customers or those impacted by their work in person or over video.
