Case Study: Bluehost achieves 99% regular employee recognition and anchors company values with Motivosity

Bluehost uses Motivosity to anchor company values to performance

Bluehost, a web hosting company with 650+ employees, turned to Motivosity after outgrowing a competitor’s recognition tool. Leadership needed a way to anchor company values (Customer Success, Tenacity, Better Together, Candor, Agility) to everyday performance during rapid growth, and they were frustrated that their prior platform charged for unused monthly award funds. They selected Motivosity’s peer recognition platform for its customization and its no-risk funds model.

Motivosity implemented a customizable peer- and public-recognition system integrated into onboarding and tied to programs like Bluehost’s Beacon Award, allowing employees to spend Motivosity bucks from a curated rewards store and share appreciations company-wide. The platform is now widely adopted—more than 90% of the 650+ team use it regularly, 99% receive regular thanks, and Bluehost recorded 31,025 appreciations in the last 12 months—helping reinforce values, boost culture, and aid recruiting.
