Name: Blueboard
Website: blueboard.com

Organizational Purpose: Blueboard is fundamentally changing the way that companies reward their employees. Companies have rewarded their employees with the same things for decades. The gift cards, merchandise, plaques, and swag that companies shower on employees is well-intentioned, but is a relic of the past. Employees are looking for and expect more.

Our vision of the future is one of reciprocity. Top employees sacrifice their time and energy to make their companies successful. Why shouldn’t companies reciprocate by gifting their employees quality time to spend outside in the real world with their families and friends?

Blueboard makes that dream possible. Our product enables managers to send rewards in under 15 seconds, and employees get to choose the adventure that is most meaningful to them; surfing lessons, a couple’s massage, a Michelin star dinner or a trip to chase the northern lights in Iceland are only a click away. They’re paired with a personal Concierge who handles all of the logistics & booking. Employees just need to show up and have a good time.

They can choose to withdraw their earnings any day of the week – giving them complete control over the money they’ve earned.
Tactically, we partner with leading Payroll and Time & Attendance providers to offer an embedded tool within their platforms. Combining their data and Clair’s proprietary On-Demand Pay technology, we can offer hourly workers a portion of their earned hours every day when they clock out, for free, all with the tap of a button.

Our passion and purpose is to help individuals achieve this goal, which in turn might help create a more peaceful and collaborative world.

We’re hearing about “quiet quitting” and “quiet firing.” Over 99% of businesses are small, and these 50 million firms employ almost half of all workers worldwide. Despite being the backbone of most economies, they are overtaxed and overburdened and fail more often than they should. They struggle to compete against enterprises to find, assess, and entice top candidates. As a veteran-owned small business, our goal is to help other SMBs solve these pervasive problems while also helping fellow veterans and their families thrive professionally.
