RN Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kudos review from TN Clinic with FAA " May 31, 2023 5.0 It's a great way to show other how much you appreciate them. Overall, it supports teamwork and community. Pros The variety of recognition one can reward another. You can make it more personalized. Cons I wish I could give out more reward points monthly then the standard 25 points I get per month. Review Source OP Olivia P. BA Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing Kudos " April 26, 2023 5.0 I have had a great experience since I started with the company. They allow us to give monthly and its nice to be able to thank people. Pros I love that we can recognize collogues and thank them for their contributions. It helps the business run well by thanking others. Cons I love everything about it. It really helps our work environment. Review Source Janelle H. Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kudos for Kudos!" March 7, 2019 5.0 Kudos really helps to build team morale. I love seeing everyone call each other out for the great work their doing, and I think that kind of feedback makes people work harder. Sometimes teams can be a very segmented. With kudos, you can easily see what other teams are working on, fostering an atmosphere of engagement and communication. Pros Your hard work turns into cold, hard, cash! I like that you can choose from kudos-branded or company-branded rewards! I like that you can choose to send your kudos privately or publicly. I like that you can endorse a kudos someone else has sent. I like that you get kudos on your birthday! I like that you can't send all your kudos to one person, forcing you to spread it out. Cons I wish unused kudos could roll over to the next month. I wish adding giphs to a post was easier. I wish that clicking the +K button actually added additional kudos. I wish there were more Canadian-specific Kudos rewards. I would like to get a reminder email towards the end of each month, reminding me to use up the last of my kudos. Review Source CT Carmen T. Care Coordinator Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kudos is a great tool to use. The rewards are expensive. The points can be higher." August 22, 2023 5.0 4 out of 5 Pros Just a place to recognize one another daily. Cons The points can be more. The rewards are high does not match the points. Review Source SM Sunshine M. Account Payables Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Tracking & Rewarding" July 20, 2022 5.0 Pros It’s super easy to use and fun. You can notice someone’s actions and share immediately. Plus the points get turned into things you may really want from retailers. Cons We have had a few issues with surveys but that’s not a huge reason we use it. Review Source DB Danielle B. warehouse manager Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Budweiser loves Kudos!" August 18, 2022 5.0 Pros This software has been wonderful for our company. I have seen where our employees have really stepped up in trying to go above and beyond so that they can get the kudos and enjoy the rewards that they receive. We have a T.V screen that shows our kudos so that everyone can see who is being recognized and for what. Cons I have not found anything notable that I do not like about this software. Review Source KM Katherine M. Cleaning Supervisor Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "simple and fun recognition" January 21, 2023 5.0 Pros It is very easy to use, it is practical and fun, you can also perform public and/or private recognitions. Cons It is a bit complicated to be able to make use of the acknowledgments, there are many steps and also they are not so clear. Review Source SS Sakshi S. Project Manager Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Extremely efficient and collaborative framework" April 18, 2023 5.0 Pros In any industry, Kudos is a very effective platform for recognising colleagues in smaller or larger teams. I don't have to wait for mid- or year-end appraisals to gain management or peer evaluation thanks to Kudos. In any organisation, it is a must. It is also easy to use. To avoid constantly opening the kudos page and checking, you also get an email alert when someone gives you Kudos. You are able to see any activity throughout your entire organisation in the home page, and you can view the recognition you have sent and received in the "me" section. It's a great morale boost to go back and see the comments from your peers and management about you and your work. Cons Nothing. I appreciate every aspect of the product. Continue your amazing work. Review Source TL Tamara L. On Site Technician Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User level review" March 1, 2023 5.0 This software has made it easy to recognize and reward employees in an efficient and timely manner. It has saved our organization in the cost of the prepaid bonus cards that they used to issue. Pros I think this software excels in the recognition and rewards program that is utilized by my organization Cons I have no issues with this software. It is evident that the personnel involved in the development of the software cared about creating a quality product. Review Source AHS Arafat Hossain S. digital marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to connect with coworkers" January 8, 2023 5.0 My experience with kudos is awesome! Pros Making your staff feel connected and appreciated is easy with kudos. Cons Using the Kudos platform for your team really has no drawbacks in my opinion, however, that may be because I don't personally cover the cost of the service. I'm only speaking from the "user's perspective," and from that vantage point, Kudos is a fantastic tool for fostering culture. Review Source AG Andrea G. HR Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Why Kudos Is The Best" February 19, 2024 4.0 Pros With Kudos, we have the best survey and feedback features The software comes well equipped with amazing HR features Makes employee recognition as well as engagement easy Cons Well, Kudos has been quite helpful with little to no major issues. Review Source DH Doug H. Lead Materials and Investment Recovery Supervisor Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos to Kudos for Employee Recognition" July 26, 2023 4.0 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 Review Source VLL Via Laine L. Civil Registry Associate Government Relations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "user-friendly especially for employees" May 15, 2024 4.0 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. Review Source AB Arthur B. Technician Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Feel good with kudos " August 9, 2023 5.0 Very good Pros The ability to recognize and be recognized for achievements within the company and your closer team Cons Sometimes hard to see total points you have when first opening the page Review Source DB Daniel B. Pricing Analyst Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos reinforces positive feedback mechanisms" May 3, 2023 5.0 Pros The recognition I receive on Kudos, along with the various rewards available, create positivity on the workplace. Recognition from peers and superiors creates feelings of increased self-worth and the knowledge that I am recognized for all I do. Cons I think there should be more integration between Kudos and the office suite. Review Source María de Montserrat F. Sr. Project manager Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos for Kudos!" July 25, 2023 5.0 Pros I love to use Kudos so I can recognize my team and all the persons that support me day to day. It's really simple to use and really fun how you can add GIF's. Cons I'll like to have more options so I can change my kudos, maybe other brands where I can use them. Review Source CE Crystal E. Program Assistant - Carbon-Free Electricity Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kudos is a GREAT way to reward employees!" August 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Being able to give positive feedback along with cash rewards is a great way to engage and thank colleagues. Cons N/A. There is nothing that I don't like about Kudos. Review Source JL Jeannette L. Administrative Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos, a fun way to interact with your coworkers!" August 22, 2019 4.0 La Petite Baleen has 4 different swim schools in the Bay Area. We have so much going on in our company. In previous years we have sent emails to spread LPB news to over 300 staff. This became quite annoying when you get a thread of 50+ email replies. Kudos allows everyone in our LPB family to stay in the know of what is new. We use this software to display staff promotions, birthdays, anniversaries, new hires, etc. It's also a way to acknowledge our staff for all they do. Showing our gratitude by posting a thank you note or giving them Kudos. Overall, I think of Kudos as a private Facebook that is used within our company. We use it on a daily and it has been a success! Pros This software has so many great factors in it. However, what I enjoy the most is redeeming my Kudos. Not only are we thanked for the extra help we provide our company. We are also given Kudos credit, which can be used at a wide selection of stores. You can spoil yourself by purchasing just about anything you want. Cons There are a few small features that can be improved. Being able to customize our personal profile page by adding wallpaper or background color. Adding more options to posts and comments. Such as font styles, font sizes, and a bigger variety of sticker options. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Human Resources & Administration Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The platform is very user friendly and results in engagement from staff." August 1, 2018 4.0 Pros Easy to use. It's a great tool for multi-location companies so new employees can see all the staff's name and photos. Makes everyone feel a little more accessible. Cons Customization is little cumbersome to create a Local Rewards site. Sometimes the links break between Kudos and the site that the item redirects to. Also, redemption of local rewards takes manual administration. Review Source HH Heather H. HR/Administrative Coordinator Banking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent. From the demo through the implementation and beyond the customer service has been awesome" March 7, 2018 5.0 Pros This has been a huge improvement over our last employee recognition program. It was nearly barbaric in comparison. Imagine having to physically write a thank you on a card! In actuality, we made the decision to move because we have five locations and the physical cards took so long to get to staff between branches. I think we lost a lot of meaning in the recognition. Now as soon as the good stuff happens staff can thank their co-worker and everyone can see it immediately. KUDOS has been an easy transition for staff. Because the majority are familiar with social media the idea of the "wall" and "postings" is simple to relate to. I appreciate the ability to customize how many points each person can give. For instance, I have one manager with 1 employee and another with 20. Or if we put out a cross-marketing incentive I can increase the management KUDOS allotment to allow for extra points. Staff have been redeeming for gift cards, but they have also enjoyed the custom rewards. We added in things such as logo wear, PTO days and sweet treats. Who wouldn't love to come in to a little dessert once in awhile! I love the full scope of reporting that KUDOS offers. This has been instrumental in showing Senior Management the positive engagement that we are seeing. I hope to implement individual KQ's into our performance management process soon. I haven't taken advantage of the survey options yet, but that is next in exploring all the things that KUDOS offers. Cons Nothing that I can think of. I would love if they would look at implementing a performance management feature in the future. Review Source AM Aleksandr M. Director of Client Partnerships Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thumbs Up" May 6, 2019 5.0 Very positive experience. Pros Kudos is a great platform for sharing accolades and praise with colleagues and teammates. We've used it to manage incentive programs, wellness initiatives, and re-enforce our organization's values. It's improved morale and become a staple of our culture. Cons The platform could have more built in social features - such as the ability to post pictures as comments, gifs, etc. Also, we used to be able to give K+ points from an individual's bank of Kudos they had received - this feature has vanished after an upgrade, and now Kudos are given with no points once a teammate has run out. The ability to give from your own awards really increased the meaning of those thoughtful thank-you(s). Also the Slack integration is clunky and confusing. Review Source MM Matthew M. Senior Operations Manager Insurance Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Put more into your morale program!" July 30, 2019 5.0 We run lean purposely, and allows for a larger share of the rewards when we exceed as an organization. However, we have to ask a lot of our folks as a result, and the workload is high. While a paycheck can keep someone coming into work each day, being proud of what you do and being recognized for the quality of your work makes them want to come to work each day. Kudos has already helped so much with this in the short time we have been using it, and see less people who just work here, and more that are a part of family we strive to create here. Pros Kudos offers such an ease of use that it makes staying active in recognizing my employees a breeze. Morale is such an important part of keeping your workforce productive and most importantly happy, and Kudos allows me to recognize my team quickly, which can make all the difference in the world with as busy as we all get. Acknowledging the good people do should NOT be work, but programs I have used in the past have done just that, and as a result eventually fall to the wayside and do not get used as they should - this is even worse morale wise than not having a program at all. Kudos makes this an afterthought, and takes only seconds to make sure I point when someone has done something exceptional. People should be proud of what they do, and Kudos let's me point them out so others in the organization can be proud of them too! Kudos to Kudos! Cons I do not yet have any negatives about the Kudos platform.
