"Work Facebook & Instagram - Love It!"

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

I love that we have managed to begin to move all our work WatsApp groups away from our personal chat space. Blink has allowed us to compartmentalise work on an app. It has been great to be able to be away from the business and not feel guilty about not replying to WatsApp messages.

I LOVE the social aspect to this, the feed makes it look like a FB/Insta feed and it is all so positive! It makes you so proud to work for the company I do, see what is going on across multiple departments and multiple venues. It is also great to see & hear from people that I may not have necessarily heard from before and to see them so engaged and proud of working for Signature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

It would be great if we could send multiple images in one go in group chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Compartmentalizing work chats away from social. This allows me more 'me' time when I am not officially working, meaning I am switching off.

Blink has opened up communication throughought the group and I can now see what different departments, venues are working on and you can see how proud people are to work for Signature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hannah, thank you so much for your 5-star review! 🌟

Thank you also for your suggestion about sending multiple images in group chats. We’re always looking to improve, and feedback like yours helps us focus on what matters most. We’ll share this with our product team as we explore future updates.

We look forward to continuing this journey with you!

"Communication and teamwork in the workplace can be greatly improved"

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

We have been able to utilize many unique features of Blink that make it a wonderful tool for time tracking and scheduling our tasks. Some examples of these features are a reporting app, a mobile attendance survey, personalized push notifications, and a work calendar. The mobile app keeps everyone up to date with the latest news, direct messages, and company announcements. One of the strengths is the way it streamlines and consolidates communication, which has allowed us to improve team engagement and foster better alignment between different departments. Teamwork is top notch; I can chat or message any colleague, email any file with drag-and-drop functionality, and the best part is how well it integrates with other applications and programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

It's a fantastic tool, no doubt about it, but I wish the notifications were more customizable. If not configured correctly, notifications can be quite distracting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Blink, we can quickly implement workflows, track employee assignments, and communicate across the company. It has allowed us to streamline our people management processes, from scheduling and onboarding to monitoring and viewing performance metrics across multiple departments. Our internal communication has improved, and as a result, our employees have developed a greater sense of community. We are now more organized and productive than ever before, thanks to fewer miscommunications and the elimination of multiple messaging channels. Everyone, even those working remotely or in the field, can now easily and quickly access the flow of information. We are truly amazed at the scalability of Blink.

"Blink is great!"

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink has allowed for internal communications to be transformed, particularly for front-line workers who have struggled with accessing important information quickly, and feeling connected to the rest of the business. Communication across a multi-site business is challenging, but Blink has allowed for this to be overcome in a user-friendly, fun and engaging way. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve communication within their business.

Implementation was easy, well supported and the ongoing support from Blink has been fantastic too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

We have had some reluctance from colleagues not wanting to enage in a 'social media' app. Very much our problem and not Blink! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’re thrilled to hear how Blink has transformed internal communications for your frontline workers and made connecting across multiple sites easier and more engaging. It’s great to know the implementation and ongoing support have met your expectations as well!

"Blink and you'll miss it!😏"

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

Its a good social tool for a bus garage to use as a whole, to pass on useful and important information as a group, to all the staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

The little magnifying glass to look at hours, times out too quickly when im looking at driving duties.

There is no function to print my payslips.

The email heading when I recieve requests from drivers is too long....I just want their name ,and employee I.d. so to help with dealing with so many requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I've found Blink invaluable in being able to communicate with colleagues that I rarely see."

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

I like that there are multiple ways to reach people and its akin to other social media platforms. The messaging function is so useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

I don't like that you can't search for previous messages in chats and there isn't an archive of files/photos sent. If there could be a function that does this, similar to whatsapp, it would be brilliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ines Ferreira of Blink

Thank you for your 5-star review, Ruth 🌟

We’re thrilled to hear that Blink’s messaging features and social-media-like functionality are helping you connect with colleagues directly and efficiently.

You can find an archive of files and photos sent in each chat by clicking the information button in the top-right corner, then selecting "Media/Docs."

Thank you for being part of our journey, and we’re excited to deliver even more great things in the future.

"Great communication tool"

"Blink has changed the way we communicate in the workplace"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

Blink is so easy to use, similar to whatsapp for messaging and socialo media platforms for the feed elemant. It's made communication with our venue teams straightforward and helped us work more collaboratively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blink is our hero!"

5/5

What do you like best about Blink?

Our frontline absolutely love being able to post out things themselves, and they feel part of the community of colleagues. We had a slight manager / frontline divide before Blink - but now it's helped everyone feel involved and equal. We also love the Hub as it allows people to be self sufficiant! The customer support is absoluetly excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blink?

Some of our staff are older and 'don't use mobile phones or apps' so this is the only real issue we've had -which is more of an issue on our side - we love Blink! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's allowing us to use the Hub to cut out the long process of having to book time with a manager to sit and access things like files, policies, application forms, etc. It's allowed our teams to be more self sufficiant! It's also solving the issue that we had of people not feeling involved in things.

For example we have night workers and weekend workers who may not be involved with team meetings etc. Or some people work outside in areas where they don't have eay access to our communication noiceboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
