What do you like best about Blink?

Blink links a workforce together and provides a one stop shop that team members can access to complete their work day. The platform provides not only an outlet for communication and for team member camaraderie but also as a workplace hub. Blink is ultra responsive to feedback and uses suggestions to add enhancement and features to the platform. We would be lost without Blink! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

The only downside of the Blink platform is that the broad feeds can become a place of negative engagement by a few disgruntled team members. Often, important messages are ignored or not noticed because the feed is crowded with personal posts from team members. Blink could use more innovation that allows pushing mass private messages and the ability to connect a team member to a workgroup rather than a 1:1 message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blink acts as an employment Hub for direct care staff that had limited access to work platforms in the past. Blink not only solves communication challenges but the hub allows for single sign on technology that easily links a team member to all the apps and platforms needed in their role. Blink also has developed an innovative forms builder to help collect surveys and forms needed from a field based team of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink has been a fantastic solution to our work 'intranet' needs. As it's like a social media platform, it has familiarity with our staff that makes it simple to use. It's easy to navigate and the hub section is really useful. Its great that it can also be broken down into teams so that the feed doesn't become too overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Would love if we could get email notifications about new posts relating to specific teams. We have a team on there that would benefit hugely from this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all of the policies and procedures in one place. Being able to communicate company wide, reducing the need for emails. Having an instant messenger so queries get a more immediate response. A way to share best practice across different teams that might not always talk to each other naturally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink allows employees to sit on a level playing field; communication is not limited to a top-down approach, something which allows a togetherness across the board, helping new employees to integrate into the business, understanding its culture, with ease.

Blink fulfills a niche channel, allowing employees to raise awareness and communicate personal passions outside of business activity including fundraising; something which is more difficult to do on traditional channels such as Teams and Email.

On a weekly basis we will see employees share information about their current efforts both in and outside of work, allowing us to connect on a personal level, understanding each other further. This regular use of the platform is great to see.

Customer support is, usually, helpful and friendly, although I have, on occassion, received a sharp response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Blink, like any social media, is reliant on its user base for its success. While we can call to action for use of the platform, ultimately our engagement relies entirely on whether our employees want to use Blink. This is not something Blink can actively 'fix', however ensuring ease of accessibility is crucial.

Blink's 'Hub' feature isn't the easiest to use or the most beneficial to our business. On a personal level I find it can clutter the dashboard for little value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Employee Engagement is the big issue here! Ensuring that there is an active and, crucially, informal platform to develop a 'vibe' to the business is massive. Having a space to share business updates, the reward and recognition scheme, newsletters, and competitions, without cluttering the email inboxes for busy employees, is a boon!

Responsive team

Constantly improving the software

Does everything we need in terms of doc storage and comms across the business

Phone and desk apps are similar in functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Somtimes uploading images via phone app can take a bit of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting rid of Whatapp as form of team comms so people who are off don't get bothered - we run a restaurant business with shifts and people communicating 18 hours a day. You really don't want that if you're off

Central place for training manuals and docs, easy to set secuity levels

Place to celebrate team and individual success Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

How easy it is to use and the features! The feed is engaging for our employees and most people who have used it are happy with the simplicity of it. As a digital marketer, Blink allows us to fully engage and communicate with our large teams quickly and effectively! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Nothing I dislike, just a learning curve for some who are digitially savy and I wish I could add giphs on the app instead of searching for them externally! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Communicating with our larger organization and across all work locations. We are able to message them and see what is happening with them. This is a great way for us to engage with them without going to them and finding out what is happening. Several employees from different locations felt left out and now we are able to engage with them digitally and work on improving work relationships and work culture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

Our manufacturing business operates 24x7. Our operations team working shifts sees our business support and leader teams only 27% of the time due to night and weekend work. We finally have an effective tool to enable active two way communications...for policies, directions and important company information!! This really improves our team experience and engagement.

What do you dislike about Blink?

I would like it to have tighter integration with Office 365. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Increase timely communication.

Increased transparency.

Increase connection for new team members in a rapidly growing business.

What do you like best about Blink?

Our Implementation Manager and Customer Success Manager have been instrumental in making Blink a success for streamlining our internal communications. The design and functionality within the app is everything you need to get staff excited about using the app and posting regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

The design and functionality around the statistics could be improved. It would be helpful to have more ownership of this particular area to improve reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Blink, we sent out bi-weekly newsletters to keep our staff up-to-date about what was happening within the business and in specific teams. This took up a lot of time. Blink has helped us streamline the communication channels and allowed internal staff to take ownership of regularly posting updates from their teams. Furthermore, we have also been able to utilise Blink as a communication tool for our external partners and trainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink is a really colorful and engaging app that brings all colleagues in every business together. Supported with world-class hyper care by the team (thanks Elly and Maggie), I have been really impressed with the better functionality it provides over alternative platforms such as Yammer. The team are constantly developing the app as well which makes it future proof. There isn't a better engagement app for businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Nothing at all really. We always put forward improvements recommended from our colleagues but these improvements are tailored to our business and something Blink keep us updated on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
