Analyst Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "A disappointing selection of options" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 March 14, 2024 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.

SE Sara E. Senior Data Analyst Transportation/Trucking/Railroad ### "Blueboard - Not the best" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 March 6, 2024 Our company recently switched from Blueboard to a different provider which we are having a much better experience with! Pros The experience reward that I did get to redeem for was very enjoyable in the end. Cons It was so difficult to redeem your reward with Blueboard. The options to choose from were lacking and dealing with the concierge made it more difficult to use, which shouldn't be the case.

Art Director Computer Software ### "Fun and creative way to reward employees" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 April 10, 2022 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. 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. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

HR Manager Online Media ### "Employees love it!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 22, 2021 Pros Blueboard is an easy tool to manage employee rewards. Their customer service is phenomenal and I would recommend to other companies looking for a solution to track and deliver their employee rewards. Cons The method of updating the employee list could be made easier. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Director Human Resources Financial Services ### "BlueBoard Experiences" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 8, 2021 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. 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.

SG Shauna G. HR Director Telecommunications ### "President Club Viaero Wireless" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 23, 2021 My experience has been good. I am still planning my experience. My Concierge has been very flexible with me and I appreciate her patience. 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.

I highly recommend their service. Pros The product was easy to use and navigate on both the front and back end. Cons It would be nice to see visible data planning regarding upcoming rewards in the anniversary engine or other upcoming rewards planned to be delivered at a later date. It would also be nice to see a wider range of experiences, both in-person and virtual. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

VP of HR - Total Rewards Food & Beverages ### "New Client" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 September 9, 2020 We launched BlueBoards for 2020, then COVID struck, and we feared that employees would not see the full benefit due to quarantines. BlueBoards quickly pivoted to provide in home experiences. Both in-home and traditional experiences have been very well received by our employees, with overwhelmingly positive feedback to date. Pros Experience-based rewards that employees can choose Cons No issues, but I am always interested in more reporting and forecasting capabilities. Reasons for choosing Blueboard Emphasis on experiences vs items. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Sr Director, Talent Management Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Blueboard Super Fan!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 29, 2020 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. 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. Alternatives considered [Bonusly](https://www.capterra.com/p/167338/Bonusly/) 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. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
