15Five is our employee engagement platform that serves a number of functions.
We are constantly in communication about the quality and efficiency of the work we’re producing, which means we’re evaluating performance on an ongoing basis. This informal review feedback is essential to each person here achieving their personal goals, as well as providing the best possible work product. However, casual chatter at the local water cooler just isn’t the same as a grand ole annual review. Therefore, we also conduct more formal performance reviews via 15Five on an annual and semi-annual basis. This is the time to look back on what you’ve accomplished and set goals for yourself. These reviews give us a chance to look back at the year’s successes and struggles and to assess the opportunities ahead. Compensation adjustments may also be made based on these yearly reviews.
We also offer an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A format at interworks.com/ama. This is where you’ll go if you’d like the head honcho himself, Behfar, to respond to a question that affects the company as a whole. We ask that you drop your name, so we can have some follow-up discussion and better context for your inquiry.
Finally, we have the “Ideas” button in Slack. If you make a suggestion that could benefit InterWorks, use this button. This will set a process in motion to make your brilliant ideas come to life.
