HR Business Partner

It helps our workforce to engage and connect with each other - especially as we are a multi-site organisation where it can be difficult to meet our colleagues face-to-face.

Realtor

It made my workflow more efficient, helped me stay on top of tasks, and reduced the time spent navigating different systems.

Owner

Employees can view updates and news remotely and while at work, reducing the likelihood of them missing something important.

Product Manager

The workflows are generated easily and it allows you to effectively communicate with your team members and even with contacts outside of your organization.

There wasn’t much I disliked, but there were times when I felt the system could be slightly more customizable to fit individual preferences.

We use Blink as our internal workplace social media app.

Office Manager

I think Blink is the perfect little life hack, who doesn't love something that saves all of our passwords, protects you and keeps everything in one place.

IT Support Officer

There could be a test window where we can see what customisations will look like with the UI on top.

Assistant Manager

Sharing or viewing documents isn’t super strong.

Carer

My working in environment where everyday internal work is necessary.

Can be a bit overwhelming at first and required nurturing a behaviour change with employees

Student Registration Logistics Coordinator

Honestly, anything that I didn't seem like to like such as notifications, I was able to turn off.

Director

Blink allows us to have our own internal communication platform that allows not only supervisors to share information, but also allows employees to share pictures, posts, and more.

School bus driver

Everything about it working great and easy to use

counselor

Office Assistant

The ease of the product set up and daily usage.

BI Developer

The ability to allow users to express themselves via the newsfeed, whilst also being able to filter to reach out to certain departments via groups has been great for users needing support from a certain department, or simply sharing a post they want everyone to see.

Regional Administrator

I spend my first 15 minutes in the morning checking Blink for any new Policies, information on new Covid rules or just nice posts from our services celebrating a customer's birthday or a day out at the seaside for the individuals we support - working in shared services it is so nice to see the people we support out and about and enjoying their lives - something we would probably have seen in a quarterly newsletter prior to Blink.

Manager, Information Technology

Internal communications & Employee communication

Group Head of Policy and Performance 

The Hub and the communal feed are incredibly useful as 115 of our services are able to share their stories and learning with the rest of the organisation and corporate are able to communicate with them across a range of matter.

Head of Operations

i enjoy using Blink, this is a great tool and has come into its own through the recent Pandemic for sharing information etc with each other and reporting on a live and ever changing daily position.

Information and Policy Co-Ordinator

Additionally, the 250mb max upload is again a hurdle due to us having to upload various videos which we have to upload via youtube and link it through due to size restrictions.

It connects central services to our homes and each home with each other making us feel part of the wider company rather than just a lone care home.  

Communications Manager

Blink has been an excellent way of improving our employee communications, it's got people talking more and it's made it much easier for us to provide regular updates and distribute important information to staff.  

Human Resources Generalist

Salesforce Project Coordinator

It would be interesting and perhaps useful to connect/align Blink posts with Slack and/or Microsoft Teams since the majority of our employees also use those tools to communicate and collaborate with each other.

Finance Director

Has been invaluable during the crisis as a means of keeping up to date with colleagues concerns as well as communicating company policy and procedure in a rapidly changing environment

Marketing Manager

Her support enabled us to get the platform right for us before rolling out to staff, which has led to our workforce being highly engaged with the platform.

Business Data Insight Analyst 

Which with real time updates and alerts this becomes incredibility easy.

Ease of use; format is appealing to employees, so it encourages uptake; ability to store useful documents, forms etc in the Hub so that employees can easily access them.  

HRBP

Would like it to be able to reduce reports on usage better to show how many posts people have done or have many likes people have done.  

We can track engagement, push notifications to staff which are of high importance.

Strategic Assistant

Posts are organised in date order, which sometimes means higher priority items are further down and less important blogs are nearer the top.

Project Manager

We were able to share company news, team or individual kudos in no time and share the exciting news.

Depot Transport Manager

Enjoy we're able to communicate and engage with potentially 300 workforce, upload safety/compliance bulletins

Maintenance Team Leader

This tool is very useful, and I'm using it every day - even every minute - to share information with my team, or other people of my company.

Qualification Manager

If I have to describe Blink about our usage in Kuba, it is a, instant messaging application with feed.

Communication has always been an issue with the majority of employees working remotely driving buses, this offers an opportunity to communicate quickly and clearly from both parties, it is invaluable in helping to prevent rumours and advise of up to date communications especially in the current Covid 19 climate.

Digital Marketing Coordinator

The Feed has provided an excellent platform for colleagues as well as our Comms team to share company news.

Customer Service and Key Manager

I like that all notices are displayed in one place, with links to other internal apps.

the home feed page for seeing and sharing what is going on in and around the business.

Director, Organizational Development and Training

There are a few small functionality issues I have had since getting into the platform (such as not having control over what shows up under an employee name or what is displayed in the Directory), but I have been assured the team is adding my suggestions to their list and looking into how we can work around the other issues.

Executive Assistant

The system is perfect for both important employee update posts and also more informal update posts!

Performance & Development Manager

Using Blink has revolutionised how we have both communicated with our staff and more crucially how they communicate with us.
