Orbit is hiring multiple roles in engineering, product, and beyond! We're helping organizations build enthusiastic communities of technology adopters.

We're backed by an amazing group of angels and investors including Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, Heavybit, and Harrison Metal.

We are a remote-first company operating between UTC-7 and UTC+3. Bonus points for being in France, US, or UK, but as long as you're in that time zone range, we're happy to talk.

We're growing very fast and hiring across more than 10 roles, including but not limited to:

sorich87 commented on Show HN: Free OKRs and 1-on-1 solution happierco.com/free/... · Posted by u/sorich87

Hello HN! We released this week a free version of our solution for small teams.

OKRs and 1-on-1s have become a very important part of a manager toolbox, but it can be difficult to justify the cost of paying for another productivity solution.

We think every manager should be able to communicate well with their team members and keep them engaged. And every employee deserves a great manager!

That's why we switched to a freemium model with full access to our OKRs and 1-on-1 features. We have additional features (analytics, reviews, surveys, etc.) under the paid plan.

If you're a manager and you wish it was easier to manage your OKRs and 1-on-1s, please try Happierco free plan and let us know your feedback. We hope you like it! :)

+1 for spotting a problem. One comment I would have is that for our sales team it is particularly useful if it is mobile or at least mobile friendly.

We have a mobile app on our roadmap.

26% of our daily users are on mobile, but we're not yet happy about how it works on mobile browsers. We should have an update next week that focuses on making it more mobile friendly.

Hello HN.

We would really love to get your feedback on this.

We started months ago as an employee engagement solution. We got customers coming from some of our competitors, trying to implement OKRs, CPM, pulse surveys and other systems du jour. They were not only having issues with the complexity of existing tools, but also the employee engagement activities were not actually “engaging” to employees. Employees felt like they had to use these systems to please the company leadership. So, that wasn’t helping at all in terms of employee happiness.

Let’s be honest, OKRs and other performance management systems can be hard to do, and are usually badly implemented in companies, which is hurtful for culture and morale.

So we made this new version of Happierco. A team communication solution that keeps employees happy and productive.

Happierco gives each employee and team a profile where they share their current goals and progress, receive feedback and recognition from colleagues and managers. Team members can reach out to each other to create personal connections. They can also answer surveys about their workplace or organize around specific topics impacting their work.

Data about employees’ work and performance is usually scattered across multiple tools. Happierco makes it easy to integrate with other productivity software to pull the data into teams and users profiles.

We want to make it part of day to day work, and useful to everyone, instead of building a tool that is only useful for People Operations, HR and company leadership.

Please take a look and let us know what you think. Any feedback, even the harshest critics, are welcome!
