    Kudoboard Positive for Team Culture

    Date: Feb 23 2024
    Summary

    Overall, Kudoboard is a great culture-building tool that I use for all of my team's birthdays or major life events. It gives multiple people the chance to wish someone well, and it makes every big event more personal and special.

    Positive

    -Easy to set up a birthday or anniversary board
    -Discreet, and able to schedule when the full panel of messages is delivered
    -Kudoboard remembers a lot of email addresses, making it easier to set up future boards as time goes on
    -Ability to add in images and GIFs makes it easy to make things personal and fun

    Negative

    -No real cons- everyone loves getting one of these boards, and they truly are easy to set up

    Awesome Product

    Date: Jul 18 2024
    Summary

    Will continue to use it for Bdays and special recognition.

    Positive

    Very easy to use and saves me the trip and cost of buying a card, and passing it around the office (without the recipient knowing!)

    Negative

    There is nothing in the product that I saw as a con.

    Kudoboard Workplace Use

    Date: Mar 28 2024
    Summary

    This has been a great shift from physical cards to kudoboards in our workplace. There are more people able to share their messages with each other in the workplace and the recipients are still able to download and save these messages for future review and memories! Love it!

    Positive

    - Easy to use
    - Lots of designs to choose from
    - With a hybrid work environment, it’s so much more convenient to deliver a Kudoboard rather than a physical card to the recipient
    - Many more colleagues are able to write messages electronically throughout different departments

    Negative

    - Cost is slightly higher than buying a physical card.

    Easy to send Kudoboards out to staff

    Date: Oct 18 2024
    Summary

    Overall it's a good site and tool to use for sending greeting messages to staff in my office. Would be good to show the pricing or free options more up front.

    Positive

    The ease of setting up the Kudoboard and having a wide variety of background themes to use for the greeting card. Also easy to set up to have multiple people sign or submit their greetings to the card receiver. Nice also to have the notifications when the receiver opens the card up, or is yet to open it and then can send a reminder.

    Negative

    Not quite clear if there are kudoboards that can be sent free of charge from a group to the receiver. Would be nice to have free ones and mentioned on the website.

    A very easy way to spoil your loved ones

    Date: Sep 17 2024
    Summary

    Overall, my experience these past years has been great. I've managed to make every recipient very happy and loved. Providing digitally in a single place, a lot of love and support, very customized and unforgettable gifts, very easily accessible for recipients and participants. And just stays there for them to be printed, or to look at them for the memories.

    Positive

    Kudoboard system is very convenient, you can group up all the people in a single place digitally, to make them feel special and unique. With the plus of the ability to attach a giftcard on it, later redeemable by the recipient. At the same time, it offers a lot of customization to fit your celebration needs and make it unique, allowing you to shape it accordingly for that special person or occasion.

    Negative

    The redeem options are slightly limited, and the customization options lacks some basic features, like for example, selecting the colors of the themes, instead you have presets with colors and backgrounds. And customizable background for the most expensive type of board. Still, more customization over the colors would be nice.

    Wonderful for Office recognition!

    Date: Dec 11 2024
    Summary

    I find Kudobards to be a great addition to how our Department collectively shares sentiments, especially with our remote workers. I am grateful for it!

    Positive

    We use Kudoboard for all our office colleague birthdays, and it's fantastic. Everyone contributes and I love being able to schedule-send it.
    It's also great for sympathy cards - it allows everyone to share their condolences without the recipient being bombarded with in-person well-wishes.

    Negative

    The backgrounds could be a little more varied, but perhaps that comes with the more expensive version? It might be nice to choose your own background, if possible. It also used to be a smidge cheaper, if I'm not mistaken.

    Date: Jul 23 2024
    Summary

    Used Kudoboard recently for office to send best wishes to coworker that just got married and for in-laws 60th wedding anniversary.

    Positive

    Individuals across the US can sign a virtual card. Easy to use. Don't have to go to the store to purchase a card.

    Negative

    Individuals don't want to create an account to post message.

    Positive

    Great images and GIFs to choose from - and also that we have lots of options when it comes to uploading our own images.

    Convenient, Fun, and Inclusive

    Date: Jul 02 2024
    Summary

    We use Kuboboard a lot to recognize various life events among our coworkers. It's great! Convenient, fun, inclusive, and personal.

    Positive

    I love that anyone can sign from anywhere and it's much easier than passing around a physical card. It's great that people can include their own photos/videos or choose from the Kudoboard collection - it's a great way to personalize.

    Negative

    I really can't think of anything I don't like about it.

    Use it for ALL our Coporate Celebrations!

    Date: Oct 30 2024
    Summary

    When I was put in charge of celebrations at my work place, I was so excited when I found Kudoboard. It's a wonderful platform to celebrate birthdays and work anniversaries. Everyone gets a chance to show appreciation for their workmates in their own unique way. It's a digital version of 'passing a card around to sign', but more fun!

    Positive

    Kudoboard is easy to use, offers many different and decorative options for backgrounds, fonts, and effects. Love that you can use gifs as part of your special message, and the range of reasons for celebrating is great, covers all of the occasions!!

    Negative

    Haven't found any yet! I have used Kudoboard for about a month now, and only see pros!

    Great way to keep our workplace connected

    Date: Feb 08 2024
    Summary

    Our workplace has been using Kudoboard since spring of 2020. There are about 20 of us on staff and we have always shared birthday cards and wishes with each other. When we moved to remote operations during the pandemic, we found Kudoboard as a way to easily keep this tradition going. Now that we are back in the office but still have remote and hybrid employees, Kudoboard remains the easiest way to get everyone connected. Though we started with straightforward messages, I've noticed that more than half our our messages now have gifs, memes, or jokes. That's been a great way to liven it up while making the messages connect to the personality of the recipient (for example, lots of us like cats and there are lots of cat gifs)

    Positive

    Easy to use, price is right at about the same price as a physical greeting card, ability to easily add images or gifs, scheduled delivery and reminders.

    Negative

    Could use more variety in the images and gifs to keep it fresh, as an employer I might like a way to filter more work-inappropriate pictures out so we don't accidentally include them (for example, alcohol), but this hasn't really been a problem for us.

    Negative
