No incentive was offered I happened to meet one of the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] of Blueboard at a conference and instantly was intrigued by the company's mission and alignment with the kind of employee experience we are working to deliver. From there we were assigned to one of the best sales reps I've had the pleasure to work with - not pushy at all, followed up just the right amount and after a long journey (held up in budget approvals) finally was able to pull the trigger and sign the contract. The implementation team was incredibly helpful and we launched it on time and with great fanfare. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very easy to implement, navigate, our employees love it, and is super innovative in this space. #### Cons There are opportunities to improve the "reward gifting" process - ideally I'd like to see the ability for someone like a system admin or People & Culture Business Partner be able to send a reward on behalf of an Exec Leader. #### Reasons for choosing Blueboard All the other companies/platforms we looked at looked outdated and very old school - focused on "points" and monetary rewards to cash in for a blender vs. be able to provide an employee with a memorable experience they will never forget and get to share with loved ones. Very easy decision, the competition in this space doesn't compare. --- ### BlueBoard Experiences - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Barbara J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our account manager has been fantastic! The employees enjoy working with the Blueboard concierges to decide on an adventure and schedule the event. We are using this program during the Covid pandemic and I want to mention that there are many in-home experiences for the individual or family. This has been a positive experience for everyone. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is easy to use. You can manage the reward budget across several "finance buckets" and see up-to-date data from the dashboards at any time. Tracking the progress of an employee's reward from sent, to redeemed, scheduling, scheduled, completed and feedback is very helpful in addition to the metrics from the feedback. #### Cons Integration with our HRIS system to automate updates would be an improvement. I would also like to see a way to handle smaller awards. Currently, $150 is the smallest experience available. If they could find something in the $50 range we could use this system instead of gift cards. #### Reasons for choosing Blueboard We decided to try using experiences instead of physical objects. Experiences are a "fresh" idea and something I hoped to use in promoting our employer brand for recruiting. #### Reasons for switching to Blueboard The traditional service award catalog was getting stale. We went looking for other ways or better ways to use the service award program. We found it in Blueboard. --- ### A disappointing selection of options - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Mitchell C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros I liked that the amounts were given is USD which translated to a higher dollar value in Canadian. However, I felt the reward options were geared more for a US company. #### Cons How long it would take to try and redeem a reward. They would try to do the 'experience' booking for you, but by the time they would actually process, prices would go up and they wouldn't cover the difference, which made the experience extremely frustrating and having to pay out of pocket for something you expected to be a reward wasn't fun. --- ### Celebrate your Team's accomplishments with Experiences they'll remember - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jacob D. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered -Great customer service -Fast, friendly account managers -Makes it very easy. We simply send the reward and Blueboard takes care of everything else -If you're doing a big batch of rewards at the same time, Blueboard can help with a bulk import. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Love how Blueboard's platform makes it possible to reward people with experiences that are remembered, celebrated, and enjoyed every time. It's easy for other bonuses to be deposited and quickly forgotten or worse - become expected. By setting clear standards on how to qualify and earn an experience, people on our team have earned these rewards and been able to choose from a wide range of options (and usually are able to bring along 1 or 2 friends or family members depending on the experience). For example, here's the list of the recent experiences our team has enjoyed: River Rafting, Spa Day, Concert, Snorkel Tour, Harry Potter Show, Legoland, Wine Tasting, Top Golf, Cirque du Soleil, Escape Room, Pottery Class, Playoff Game, Paint Night. #### Cons The only tough part (and this isn't Blueboard's fault - this is organizational change) is getting everyone's buy-in to make the transition. All organizations have their own bonus structure and once established, it's tough to change it. People feel tied to it and even if people grumble about it, it's tough to change because everyone has their own opinions on it. We had to find the right time to make it happen and talk with a lot of people. The only thing I wish we did was make the transition sooner. If I start my own company, I'd start with Blueboard at Day 1. #### Reasons for choosing Blueboard Blueboard is the best option. It's easy to use as admins and fast/friendly when employees are picking an experience. Celebrate your team's accomplishments with experiences - I recommend Blueboard. --- ### Best culture amp we have ever used! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ethan M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Blueboard has made our employee recognition program and employee referral program so exact for what our company needs to evolve into our next level. Blueboard has a seamless process to integrate, launch, and train. We have had an amazing experience and also our employees at Jane are having great experiences for their hard work! We love Blueboard! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This tool for us here at Jane has revolutionized the way we recognize our family here for their hard work and employee referrals! We are evolving as a company and Blueboard has helped us build to that level! Blueboard is so easy to use on the admin side it's so easy to send a reward. They allowed us to customize to our company and made it feel like it was our program! I am so excited for what's to come with Blueboard! Their team is so productive and smart. They are always helpful and efficient to build an amazing platform! #### Cons I don't ever like to not put anything in this section. But really there's nothing that I can say that I don't love about Blueboard! I love everything about it!! --- ### Would absolutely recommend Blueboard! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Delara P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've used Blueboard at two different startups now and both times I've heard nothing but positive things. When I took on my new role at Tradeshift, I started working with the team at Blueboard very closely and they have been nothing short of amazing, from their response time to educating me about new features and even how to maximize existing features. My colleagues around the world love the experiences, the ease of use and it's always fun to see their pictures from their trips. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been such a joy to work with and I've been able to work with them so seamlessly the past few months. If your company doesn't use Blueboard for referral rewards, employee recognitions etc., I highly recommend checking their service out. #### Cons I honestly can't say one negative thing about my experience with Blueboard! --- ### Great platform to drive experience-based rewards in your organization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Manny H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used other for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We use Blueboard twice a year, as part of our PROPEL Awards. We recognize seven employees through this program: they get a bobblehead in their likeness, a fun experience they can book through a Blueboard concierge, and Blueboard also helps us give a donation to a charity of the winner's choosing on their behalf. They are truly a white glove service, and help outsource reward programs, offering experience-based rewards that create lasting memories, compared to cash-based rewards. #### Cons I wish they offered smaller experiential rewards too, so we can use the platform not only for awards but also for spot bonuses. --- ### Using BlueBoard is easily the most rewarding part of my day. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kaylan J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I thoroughly enjoy when my coworkers are sharing their photos of their trips they've taken thanks to BlueBoard. Not only do they seem refreshed from a wonderful vacation, they seem thankful and are excited to encourage other employees to utilize our referral program. There are several use cases for BlueBoard my company has yet to explore, but we are brainstorming how we can utilize BlueBoard's services to provide even more rewarding experiences for our employees. #### Cons There is a bit of a delay between when I've request our account to be filled and when my account actually reflects the funds, but that could be because of my own internal team's ability to pay invoices quickly. I'm happy that our whole company is excited about the referral rewards program thanks to BlueBoard, however BlueBoard isn't a fully global product so unfortunately not all of our employees can benefit from the program. --- ### Fun and creative way to reward employees - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Kyle M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall it has been good. And some of my team members have already reported using their rewards to have memorable and fun experiences. I hope that as time goes by, the novelty of this service does not wear off. I think continuing to offer new and exciting reward options to choose from, especially at the lower-priced tiers, is what is going to make it worthwhile for us in the long-term. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love the user interface of the rewards portal as well as the concept of rewarding employees with memorable experiences. The photography and descriptions of each experience is really well thought out and there are a lot of really diverse options, no matter how adventurous one might be feeling. #### Cons As the recipient of one of the reward experiences, one thing that could be improved on is the time it takes to deliver the experience. Mine took several weeks (after choosing) before I got to enjoy it. --- ### President Club Viaero Wireless - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Shauna G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My experience has been good. I am still planning my experience. My Concierge has been very flexible with me and I appreciate her patience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software is easy to you. I am still exploring reporting as I build data on the program. #### Cons I wish my landing page would be in the same document. I think this would enable my winners to share reviews with other winners. My people are very competitive and they like to show off a bit to each other. I think there would much participation with reviews and sharing if they could share with each other in the portal. #### Reasons for choosing Blueboard The experience offered was close to the experience offered in the past to President Club Winners. It was the experience could be of their choice and it may be something to share with children and family. When taking the group trip the winner was only allowed one guest and for some it was hard not to include the family. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 39 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/blueboard-profile/reviews/) ## Other Top Recommended Employee Recognition Software [Paychex](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/paychex-flex-profile/) **4.2** (1820) Recently recommended **228** times [HiBob](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/bob-profile/) **4.6** (179) Recently recommended **111** times [Darwinbox](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/darwinbox-profile/) **4.2** (46) Recently recommended **61** times [Employment Hero](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/employment-hero-profile/) **4.4** (239) Recently recommended **47** times Stuck Between Options?
