World’s leading experiential rewards & recognition platform Icon
World’s leading experiential rewards & recognition platform

Hand-curated, experiential employee rewards that wow. Create real meaning for every employee and every celebration.

Blueboard is an employee recognition and incentives platform powered by hand-curated experiences (both in-home, and out in the world). We make it easy for companies to give meaningful employee rewards, incentives and gifts—from one-of-a-kind to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Ignite your recognition program with experiential rewards and incentives. Experiential employee rewards—from spa days, to concerts and surf lessons, to bucket list travel adventures—are the best way to recognize and incentivize your top people. ‍ Unlike cash or gift cards, experiential rewards actually feel rewarding. They celebrate employees as real people, creating strong relationships built on mutual gratitude and respect. And they generate conversations and shareable stories that build buzz and excitement around your recognition efforts.

User Reviews

  • THE BEST
  • Setting up latest versions of OpenGL is so easy now!
  • Probably the best API I've seen. They should teach this API in classrooms.
  • GLFW Is a great library and is very easy to use. They do their best to offer you the features that are suggested the most as well as keeping the library up to date and working good. I am currently using this library in my 2d game engine i am developing. I just hope they add in OpenAL support or at least the ability to make using OpenAL easier.

  • GLFW is straightforward, complete, fast, and well-documented. GLFW3 has laid to rest all concerns I had about GLFW2, and has introduced a wide range of new features. These features provide the completeness I spoke of: I plan to use GLFW as the window manager of a simple game engine, because it provides such precise (and yet simple) control over windows and their contexts.
