Makes sense for HR teams already paying for 15Five, since the notetaker and coach are paid add-ons rather than standalone products.
Kenning's take
What it does
Kona joins recurring one-to-one meetings after a calendar sync, writes notes and action items, and checks the manager's behaviour against more than 18 leadership skills. It then sends personal coaching tips through Slack, email and 15Five. It is sold as an add-on to 15Five's Perform or Total Platform plans.
- Meeting notes, agendas and action items for one-to-ones
- Coaching feedback after each check-in or review
- Nudges delivered in Slack
- Uses a company's 15Five performance data
- Tracks manager behaviour over time
Who it suits. HR teams and managers at companies that already use 15Five for reviews and one-to-ones.
