BLUEBOARD RECOGNITION
Maximize employee engagement and productivity with experiential rewards.
Are your employee recognition efforts driving long-lasting impact on your people and your business bottom line? The truth is, most employee rewards are wasted spend. Blueboard is out to change all that with our proven methodology, easy-to-use platform and unique experiences-based approach.
The platform of choice for the world's most loved employers:
A better way
Experiences > Things.
Most employee recognition doesn’t make people feel appreciated. Only 27% of employees feel valued when they receive traditional rewards like gift cards, cash, or catalog items. These options fall short because they are transactional, outdated, and fail to drive long-lasting impact on your people or bottom line.
Blueboard directly addresses these problems. Our rewards are personal, memorable, and shareable. And the numbers, they speak for themselves:
3x ROI
Blueboard clients have calculated a ~3x ROI from admin savings and increased productivity levels.

What company leaders say about Blueboard:
Blueboard is a terrific fit for our mission and values. We are aligned in our mission to allow employees to live their best lives, unlocking new opportunities that push their limits, enabling them to have experiences that they might otherwise not have access to.
The other options we looked at were outdated and very old school - focused on "points" and monetary rewards to cash in for a blender. Where with Blueboard, our people can choose 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.
Your employees will get so much more out of Blueboard because they'll create lasting, positive memories from their experience, versus sending them a three-year pin, a cash bonus, or reward from a catalog that nobody wants.
The spot recognition program has been a special way for us to make people feel appreciated when they go the extra mile— it helps encourage the behavior we want to see among our employees to help us build a more vibrant, connected culture.
