Performance valued by recognition
I improve my work life because through these recognitions I realize that the work done day by day is valued more and I improve my connection with the company.
Pros
Kudos makes employee recognition effective and makes us connect more with the commitment to do a good job. When reaching objectives, rewards are obtained that are helpful and give motivation that a job well done has its benefits. Their rewards catalog is very varied and has incredible options for doing a good job.
Cons
I feel that there is nothing that I dislike and much less something that they have to improve.

Just an employee
Kudos is great.It allows work colleagues to reward each other with small sums that can add up and foster a work environment where people actively express gratitude to colleagues openly.It also allows manager to gift and recognise individuals or teams going the extra mile for the company.
Pros
In my company, kudos is used as a small bonus and recognition scheme.Employees give points and receive points that can be spent on various options.Managers can reward teams, and make this public or private.And at the end of a long months, a few £’s on a Tesco voucher can be a life saver.
Cons
Loving in via mobile app can be slow or just not work until you are in a stable WiFi spot.Viewing your wall has a habit of not scrolling down, but just resting to the top.

Kudos is so nice!!!
Pros
I love that you can interact with the people you work with. I have been using kudos for over 2 years now and it's so easy to log in and recognize any coworker of yours that helped you out or when out of their way. Its also a great way for your supervisors to show their appreciation for their employees by saying something nice or giving someone a kudos points that could later be converted to gift cards. I will continue to use this platform!
Cons
It would be great if we had more gift card choices! Overall kudos is great.

Kudos Review 2023
As a company we use Kudos to gather all the thoughts and concerns from the employees in each department. It makes it easier for HR to gage how the employees feel and what can be improved on.
Pros
I like that I can access Kudos through teams/our single sign on, and through my email. The dashboard is very easy to understand and tracks my streaks which is motivation to keep using it weekly.
Cons
Kudos is very easy to use and I have no concerns at this time.

Kudos for Kudos!
Overall, I have had a very positive experience with Kudos. It is a wonderful way for me to focus on the good and remind others how much they mean to both myself and the success of our business.
Pros
Kudos is an easy way for me to keep up with my colleagues. I work remotely, and from afar, so I do not have that face to face contact that many others do. Kudos provides an easy to use, wonderful platform to remind people how appreciated, valuable and necessary they are.
Cons
Sometimes I cannot figure out how to like and reply to rewards and comments very easily. It does not seem as fluid and direct as it could be.

Kudos to Kudos for Employee Recognition
It's a terrific app for easily and specifically recognizing TMs in the moment.
Pros
I use the app with my cell phone which allows me to capture excellent TM performance both written and through video/photo in the moment.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to recognize TMs due to their name being spelled unusually. Example: Desmond vs Dezmon

Wonderful Application
I'm very happy with Kudos. We originally had a paper form of recognizing our co-workers, and it was hard keeping up with pages that had torn or ripped out. Going to an electronic form of recognition was such a great decision. I like logging on and being able to see birthdays and anniversaries of my co-workers. I hope we continue to use Kudos in the long run.
Pros
I like the options that are given to recognize our peers, as far as what we can choose after we write our comments. I think those "compliments" really help our comments stand out, sort of like a hashtag.
Cons
What I least like about Kudos is the value of what each comment is worth. I feel like employees that go above and beyond should receive much more than what is given now. I also wish we had more gift card options.

Kudos exceeded my expectation in building positive energy within my team, especially after a tough couple months with significant but stretched thin human resources. My teammates feel motivated to use the platform given its simple structure and quick process
Pros
Simplified platform for efficiency and encouragement of usage, builds team morale without any sense of competition, helps take a pulse check of where team is at in terms of job satisfaction across multiple areas
Cons
More features for surveys in terms of data analysis and complex question responses in order to dive deeper into them

Hard to beat Kudos.
Kudos has been great. Sometimes I want to reward someone for doing a great job but I never knew the best way to go about it. Kudos solved this problem for me. I'm always able to show my gratitude to whoever I want and its super easy and accessible.
Pros
I love the ability to show my appreciation to anyone within my work community. I don't always work closly with everyone at the company so being able to find them on Kudos and show my appreciation that way is a super useful thing.
Cons
The Kudos website itself can take a minute to understand. The interface is a little scrambled and isn't always the easiest to read. It took me a minute to understand where everything is located.

user-friendly especially for employees
Both our management and employees find the product to be user-friendly. It gives non-manager staff members and first line supervisors a way to give recognition to deserving staff members. It has made a significant difference in staff incentives and morale. Kudos is an easy yet powerful approach to foster positive relationships with coworkers and raise morale—two things that are particularly crucial in these extraordinary times.
Pros
the application is user-friendly and powerful!
Cons
I don't like how it shields children from some real-world issues that they ought to be aware of—not the really awful and inappropriate stuff, just certain issues.

Kudos to Kudos!
I have really appreciated the ability to look up who is on what team across my organization as well. When managing clients it's nice to feel like I know everyone and can work with them no matter how far apart we are.
Pros
I love that I can connect with my peers and coworkers and thank them for their help whether they are on my immediate team or on a team across the country. I can recognize the work central to my role or thank them for help with the side projects I use. It is an easy way to build community in a virtual environment.
Cons
I believe this is specific to my organization but I wish we could redeem Kudos points for real prized like giftcards, items, etc. However, a kind word is always nice.
