    No, we just had a bad experience unfortunately.

    It's well suited for businesses who are looking for a way to approach employee wellness in a fun and fresh manner. It also helps create a little more connection between teams within the business and across other departments.

    Pros
    SilkRoad
    • Unfortunately our experience was very poor, so I don't have anything for what they do "particularly" well.

    Cons
    SilkRoad
    • Transparency about the capabilities of their system. We would have never chosen WingSpan had we had a clear picture of the limitations of their system.
    • Ease of use - as an administrator we found it to be difficult to work with. Of course, improvements may have been made in this area since we used it last.
    • The user interface could use some updating.

    • Sometimes, my Fitbit and even my Max device would have issues synching.
    • There weren't daily challenges, like the Fitbit. That made me have to use both apps, which was more work.

    We used Cvent following our WingSpan experience. It worked out much better and had more capability than WingSpan.

    DESTROYS the competition. I am so happy that Virgin Pulse took over the capabilities that Gilsbar was in charge of due to Gilsbar 's lack of user-friendly, up to date, technology.

    Return on Investment
    SilkRoad
    • I feel it set us back a bit, and also caused us to lose credibility with our management team after it turned out to be a "failed experiment."
    • We have gone back to a manual system of doing goal setting that works better for us.

    • No ROI other than if the people chose not to use it, then the company saves money.
    • [I believe] it causes people's personal information to be disseminated without any concern.
    • [In my opinion,] they are not willing to help ever.
