Executive Summary
Goals
BuildDirect underwent a corporate restructuring process. As part of that, company leaders wanted a program to engage and energize their team. They turned to Bucketlist as a way to recognize the exceptional work that was taking place inside the company.
A key to success was ensuring a large percentage of BuildDirect employees would use the rewards platform. So the company specifically sought a program that would be easy for team members to learn and use.
Outcomes
BuildDirect found that using the Bucketlist comprehensive platform helped its team members fulfill personal goals while also improving productivity, engagement, and overall job satisfaction. Bucketlist is a key tool the company uses to recruit talent and differentiate itself from the competition. An effective recognition program can lower voluntary turnover by 31%.
Bucketlist was easy for management to roll out and was soon widely adopted. The program has a 94% engagement rate.
On its website, BuildDirect outlines its company culture and the kind of employees who thrive in an atmosphere where learning is a passion. Employees receive an annual learning stipend. Bucketlist complimented that program by helping employees achieve life goals ranging from spending a day on a Ducati motorcycle to seeing a Cirque Du Soleil performance.
Bucketlist aligns what companies want (a high performance culture) with what employees want (their life goals). Our program results in increased engagement and reduced turnover. Bucketlist enables companies to reward employees the way they want — resulting in a 97% product satisfaction score.
