3. Once you submit the high five, the recipient(s) will be notified and the high five will be posted on the High Fives Feed (in-app link).

Managers who are Transform seat holders in companies on the Total Platform pricing package have access to Manager Copilot— an assistant powered by 15Five's Spark AI that helps managers be more effective and makes their lives easier. You can use Manager Copilot to draft high fives from within your Check-in or from the High Fives Feed.

You can give either public or private high fives in 15Five. Public high fives are visible to everyone in your company, whereas private high fives are visible to only the giver and receiver of the high fives.

Currently, it's only possible to give private high fives from within Check-ins. You can give public high fives via any of the methods covered in this article.

By default, people can give high fives to individuals. But account admins can also manage whether or not they'd like to enable the option for individuals to give high fives to groups or the entire company by @mentioning them. If you don't see the option to @mention when giving a Hive Five, have one of your account admins (in-app link) check out our "Enable @mentions for your company" Help Center article.

Account admins can add your company's values to 15Five. Once values are added, an account admin (in-app link) can turn on the "Enable hashtags in High Fives" option in High Five feature settings, which allows employees to use company values as #hashtags when giving high fives. Enabling this ability helps make sure your company values stay top-of-mind.

If you enable the High Five "Trending Values" Leaderboard in your High Five feature settings, your team can also see which company values are trending at any given time on the High Fives Feed (in-app link).

You can high five people who aren't part of your company's 15Five account from within your Check-in or from the High Fives Feed. The High Five recipient will receive an email informing them of the high five from notifications@15five.com.
