What is Kudos?
Kudos® is a platform for creating and managing recognition and engagement programs. It simplifies administration, increases participation, and provides actionable insights.
Recognition is peer-to-peer or manager-led, with flexible points, multimedia, and values. Gamified targets and prompts encourage frequent use, while automated celebrations highlight key events.
Awards, Nominations, and Incentives offer structured ways to reward achievements, backed by point-bank budgeting. Announcements keep teams informed with targeting, tracking, and pinning options. Analytics monitor recognition activity, program ROI, and trends.
Kudos currently supports a variety of languages including English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Greek, Japanese, Polish, and Portuguese.

Everyone's jealous...
Date: Apr 12 2022SummaryI am a Kudos user and when I tell my friends working elsewhere of my company implementing Kudos - they're all jealous! Kudos is a great way to make thanks and appreciation feel tangible, and that is especially important in a world where work environments are global and people work remotely. It's a nice and meaningful way for companies to show thanks and reward collaboration in their employees, aside from the traditional methods. I cannot remark on the pricing of Kudos as I am not sure what it costs.
Positive- User friendly interface
- Great range of rewards
- Great for people who are motivated by affirmation!Negative- Not much to complain about! :) I love most things about it!

Great Engagement Tool
Date: Apr 19 2022SummaryOverall, it's a great tool, and I would recommend it. It's a good way for employees to engage with each other (especially for remote employees, but also for those that don't see each other as frequently), to get a good sense of the culture, and feel involved.
PositiveKudos is very user-friendly, and has a great interface similar to the early days of Facebook. It's a great way for employees to engage with each other, promote positive interactions, and feel that they're receiving rewards from the company and from fellow employees.
NegativeThe time limit of when the points to reward others with resets at 5pm Mountain Time, which isn't obvious until it's missed. And this is likely an internal process, but there should be a monthly reminder to give out Kudos points before the end of the month.

Kudos deserve Kudos
Date: Apr 11 2022SummaryKudos are a great! I love to tell others to use Kudos if they currently aren't. There's no reason not to.
PositiveI love being able to encourage others. This is a fun way to do so. I can give positive feedback in a safe environment. Anyone can see what has been said about others which gives the Kudos a little extra "kick".

Amazing platform!
Date: Apr 11 2022SummaryThis is the first time I use this platform because I'm currently working in an international company and it's been really easy to use it, it has nice features and it's a nice way to recognize your colleagues' work. I still haven't redeemed my points so I can't say anything about that yet.
PositiveIt's super easy to use and it's a great way to let your colleagues know how much you appreciate their effort and how it is to be working with them.
NegativeIt would be nice to have some more qualities to select and to have more options to redeem points (probably this depends on the country).

Kudos for Kudos!

Kudos - Excellent appreciation portal
Date: May 07 2022SummaryMotivation is one of major key which drives us to work efficiently in an organization , Kudos definitely helps employees to greet each other, recognize and share happiness with all. Kudos! for Kudos.
PositiveKudos is a great portal, in an organization where one can appreciate anyone for their work, anniversary, birthday where others can see, comment/like which really helps employees get recognized globally.
One of special things about Kudos is, when we recognize someone for their work they will receive points depending upon the options you select ( excellent, good etc.) and using the points they can redeem for various vouchers like travel, online shopping, movie and much more.NegativeSupport bot is useful but it will be great if an option is enabled to get connected to a support agent via email or any other options.

The BEST Platform for rewards
Date: Apr 12 2022SummaryI can get rewards for almost everything I use in my day to day life. Be it groceries, gadgets, clothes, anything and everything. Hence, the points that we earn through Kudos holds real money value.
PositiveIts conversion value is the best. I have used many recognition apps, however, Kudos gives the most appropriate exchange value in your local currency along with a satisfaction of being recognised for your work.
NegativeI have Kudos app in my phone too but it does not allow me to redeem in my local currency through the app. It would be great if that can be fixed.

Game On
Date: May 06 2022SummaryWhen receiving Kudos from people, including managers and team leads from other departments and pillars within your company, it really shows you are making a difference and effort. Everyone should do their best, as all of the people are in the same boat and should be rowing in the same direction.
PositiveKudos bring out the competitive nature in people to achieve and be recognized for. Not only is it a healthy way to promote people to do better, but it also keeps them going, especially if there is some kind of a reward. It is also used to state the obvious when it comes to your KPI's and rating.
NegativePeople can use this for their own gains, considering that friends can give each other Kudos on a regular basis. There can also be some kind of favoritism by managers and team leads when it comes to giving Kudos.
