15Five provides several reporting tools for tracking team and organizational performance over time. This article summarizes each tool, what it measures, and who can access it, so you can choose the right report for your question.
Performance reporting tools

| HR Outcomes Dashboard | Engagement trends, performance designations, turnover risk, compensation fairness — all in one view | Time period, department, manager, location, custom attributes | Account Admin, HR Admin |
| Manager Effectiveness Indicator (MEI) | Manager effectiveness scores derived from review data, engagement, and turnover signals | Manager, department, time period | Account Admin, HR Admin |
| Performance Ratings+ Reporting | Individual performance ratings from review cycles — scores, distributions, trends across cycles | Review cycle, department, manager, rating level | Account Admin, HR Admin, cycle collaborators |
| Objectives Dashboard & Reports | Objective status, progress, ownership — track OKR completion across teams | Time period, owner, group, status, objective type | Account Admin, manager (own hierarchy) |

Filtering reports by department or manager
Most reporting tools in 15Five support filtering by department, manager, and other group types. Here's where to find filter options:
- HR Outcomes Dashboard — Filter controls appear at the top of each insight card. Filter by department, location, manager, or any custom attribute configured in your account.
- Performance Ratings+ — Use the filter bar above the ratings table to filter by review cycle, department, or manager.
- Objectives Reports — Filter by owner, group, status, or time period from the filter panel on the Objectives dashboard.
- Check-in Reports — The Check-ins Metrics Report and Answers Report support filtering by manager hierarchy, group, and individual.
- Custom Reports — Choose any combination of filters when building a custom report. Department and manager filters are available for all data types.
Note: Managers can only filter within their own reporting hierarchy. Organization-wide filtering requires Account Admin or HR Admin access.
