Sr Security & Compliance Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent way to pat your Co-workers on the back" July 29, 2019 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. Pros What I appreciate most about Kudos is that on a my daily basis it provides a listing of the individuals in my company that are having birthday and/or work anniversary. I personally like this because it gives me an added layer of insight about my co-workers that is just told me with having to research. I grow-up in the South so it is natural for me to speak and greet my co-workers. I really like the fact that Kudos is an electronic way for me to do that to my co-workers Cons I would like for Kudos give out reminder that you have earned so many points, which is worth this much in reward. Review Source FS Fatima S. Consultant: Global Talent Solutions Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceptional Kudo's need to be given to the Kudo's team for this software!" August 15, 2019 5.0 I love the ability to recognise people immediately, to be recognised myself and to redeem rewards that apply to me, as and when I need them. Pros Ever since I started using Kudos, I have been recommending it to everyone I know in HR at other companies, for very simple reasons- it makes recognition instant and easy, the value attached to the recognition in terms of rewards offered is employee centric, and it can be used on-the-go if you download the app. I am thoroughly impressed by the overall product and love that I can view not only my recognition, and the recognition I give others, but also the recognition received by others! It's an important tool in identifying those gems within the organization who go above and beyond, and it helps in understanding what the strengths of our people are- if we recognise people by including a category of recognition. We are also allowed to vet the kudo's given by someone to someone else. I love that I can still give recognition to others even if I have not been part of the reason for the recognition, but if I know that the receiver is a person who regularly behaves in the manner being recognised for! Cons In terms of the app- I think it can be made to be a bit more intuitive. I don't have a lot of criticism here as I truly do love the kudo's software- I just think the app could be spruced up a bit. Review Source LH Layla H. Business Support Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "App issues" April 10, 2023 5.0 its good. Pros its easy to recognize e staff when the department is so big that i cannot get to see everyone face to face Cons I cannot sign in on the App. it wont allow me. i have deleted the App and instealled on my phone and it still doesnt recognize my sign in and password. but i can sign in on my computer just fine with the same user name and password. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Director of Customer Advocacy Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos Allows me to Spread Goodwill and Gratefulness " July 22, 2019 5.0 I run a lot of internal focus groups, research and this is a great way to recognize more colleagues in different departments. We at RingCentral have Kudos running on our main reception flat screen that is 20x20 feet! The awareness it drives helps us foster more positive teamwork. Overall, I think the Kudos and how HR has worked with our facilities helps us really showcase Kudos at RingCentral. Pros Very easy to use, it's takes me about less than two minutes to really compose a thoughtful Kudos note. Cons I don't think it's Kudos, but I want to write more notes and I sometimes don't have enough points, so I have to use mostly the "Thank You" versus the "Exceptional." Review Source SP Simon P. Graphic Designer Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best " July 25, 2023 5.0 Pros It's very easy to use. You can reward your colleagues in a few seconds, and simply bring happiness to their day. It makes you be more helpful because you can be rewarded for it.The greatest thing is my points value is doubled twice a year and it's fantastic. Cons The only downside is that claiming Kudos is a taxable event. Review Source SN Sarah N. Business Development Manager Plastics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "What a morale booster! " July 25, 2023 5.0 Pros Working for a manufacturing company this is a way that the admin, sales, customer service staff can recognise others from different departments that make sure a difference in our day and the way we do our jobs. We may not work closely in the same department or vicinity but we can still acknowledge the efforts of anyone within the business and this is a great way of bringing the departments together. Cons I love everything about it - it's a great morale booster and bridges the gap between production and sales / customer service. Review Source JG Jordan G. Supervisor Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos for Kudos" March 3, 2019 5.0 Kudos is an amazing tool that helps with morale and growth at a subconscious level. It's truly an amazing program that allows so much interaction which otherwise may not ever happen. Pros This software encourages employee engagement to the next level and does so in the most positive manner. Recognizing peers for accomplishments as well as thanking them for assistance is really neat! Cons I feel like that Kudos could improve with some of the UI. It can be difficult to search for specific people sometimes when giving Kudos. Another thing is when attaching a photo to an award and then changing the amount removes the photograph. Very minor inconvenience - Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Clinical Research Recruiter Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Kudos strengthens your bond with your colleagues!" April 10, 2019 5.0 Pros I love how Kudos allows you to compliment your colleagues for the tasks and goals they accomplish along with sending some Kudos points which gives a sense of reward. Users are then able to redeem these points for money value which is a great incentive to work harder and gain more Kudos. The software allows for company-wide recognition as well which in turn motivates you and build self confidence. Cons The fact that we have to reach a certain number of points to redeem them sometimes bothers me as the maximum amount of points you can transfer at a time is 50 points and to redeem them you have to reach a minimum of 20,000 points. A more feasible way would be either to reward more points in a single post or decrease the minimum redemption target to 5000 points. Review Source TS Todd S. Coordinator Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool for team building and morale" July 9, 2019 5.0 It is a great way to quickly and easily recognize staff in a tangible way. Being able to offer a little bit of positive support to feedback makes it so much easier to positively manage a team. And the fact that recognition is shared amongst colleagues demonstrates that not only is the team successful but that there is recognition of that success. Pros That its easy to use. Every person in our company, no matter their level of technical skill is able to use the system for what it is intended. The best part about this software is that I never have to think of it as software, it is just a reliable integrated positive piece of our workplace environment. Cons The only real negative is that it would be nice to see the rewards and gift cards redeemable digitally so that we didn't have to wait for an internal process to get us a physical copy. So many of the companies involved have digital gift cards now it would be handy if you could just request the benefit and it was automatically generated, maybe even inside the app itself. Review Source sP sachin P. developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Employee recognition" March 15, 2023 4.0 the overall experience is wonderful - great for appreciating and motivating your peers, getting recognised by your peers and your manager. Has monetary values for the kudos points that you receive. Pros peer to peer recognition helps in appreciating the work among peers, helps them to motivate each other and reap monetary values for their work ! rewards are in coupons which help in redeeming monetary benefits (buying products) from popular sites like amazon, flipkarts etc. Cons the value of kudos could be increased, as its very minimal, peers happens to misuse as sharing among each other rather than recognition.. Review Source TC Tossa C. Acting Registration Support Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mon avis" February 20, 2023 5.0 Pros Le produit est très facile à utiliser. De plus c'est une plateforme très appréciée parce qu'à travers elle on peut se montrer reconnaissant envers un collègue qui a contribué à l'atteinte d'un objectif. Cons Pour moi tout est parfait avec ce logiciel. Review Source Rafael A. Energy Engineering Co-op Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Magnificent rewards program" September 23, 2019 5.0 The overall experience with Kudos has been great thus far. It has improved the culture around the office as we are now more motivated to congratulate and thank each other after working together on a particular project. Pros This software is extremely useful around the office as it motivates coworkers to compliment and thank one another. The feature that I like the most is being able to choose the rewards you want. Cons I feel the user interface could be improved a bit to make the application more user-friendly and easy to use. Review Source ZM Zanele M. Senior Representative: Business Prestige Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Recognition Portal" February 8, 2023 5.0 Pros My overall experience with Kudos is great! it is easy to navigate and has really cool features. This is by far the best platform for employee recognition. Cons Nothing missing on the system, everything is perfect Review Source sG stacy G. CSR Utilities Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Kudos rocks!" April 20, 2023 5.0 Team appreciation creates a great bond between us and makes working here fun. Pros Kudos is a great team building opportunity, and it proves to me that I'm being effective in my roll and appreciated in my field. Cons It takes a while to get the feedback from customers. I forget what the call was about by the time I receive the feedback.Some of the options for providing feedback to my team are irrelevant. I would like to see a blank option so I can write my own word(s) to describe what they are receiving points for. Review Source MA Maria A. Phlebotomy Technician Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Kudos is so nice!!!" November 20, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source IB Isaiah B. IT Support Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Fulfilling Way to Show Your Appreciation" August 16, 2019 5.0 Overall, my experience with Kudos is extremely positive! I feel good when I receive Kudos from a colleague, and even better when I can give them out. I highly recommend employing Kudos in your business! Pros Kudos provides a fantastic platform to show your appreciation for your colleagues. Doing my day to day work has become a much more gratifying experience. I feel like my work has a much bigger impact when I receive Kudos. Cons Kudos, in general, is a very easy to use platform, but I would like to see its user interface become a tad more modern. The current interface looks a little dated when comparing to other modern sites. Review Source TE Tracye E. Community Director Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fun and Easy to Use" February 15, 2023 5.0 Fun and exciting way to tell a team you value their work and time! All the team members in my company have access to acknowledge and recognize an employee for their hard work and commitment. It's fun to customize the badges to your company. Pros Very easy to use and a fun way to acknowledge team members. Cons Kudos makes recognizing employees and teams very easy. Review Source DK Daniel K.

Review Source BC Bonnie C. Lead Clinical Program and Faculty Affairs Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "KUDOs is an Employee Morale Booster!" January 11, 2023 5.0 My personal experience has been excellent. My staff enjoy receiving KUDOs! I've also found it is a quick way to recognize someone in a different department or even on a different campus in another location when I want to let them know how much I appreciated their help. It takes recognition up several notches beyond just a simple email. Thanks! Pros KUDOs software is extremely user-friendly. Just a few clicks to recognize someone, then add your own sentiment or a gif to make it personalized! Cons There are no features I dislike. Perhaps periodically revise the graphics; that would be a good idea so as to offer new visuals attached to KUDOs for staff. Review Source LA Leonard A.

Also, i love the rewards i receive from my manager when i go above and beyond in my work. Cons I am not able to give a reward to my co-worker. I can only recognize them. Review Source QT QuaKeidra T.

July 25, 2023 5.0 Pros Love that there's a way for us as agents to give back & recognize our peers for their hard work & dedication. Cons The 50 limit, I feel the minimum we can send should be 50 & 100 should be the max. Review Source SC Sarah C. Director Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product that Keeps Improving with the Times" December 4, 2018 5.0 A lot of the team members work in remote locations so the tool is an excellent way of bringing remote workers closer together to replicate an office environment. Pros Ease of use for staff members to share praise. This is very valuable to our team! Cons It may be cool to have this as an APP that can be more readily pinned to taskbar for faster praise and easier use. Review Source Response from Kudos December 18, 2018 Hi Sarah, It's awesome to hear that you're finding Kudos so easy to use! We're also daily Kudos users, so we appreciate how important it is that it be user-friendly and intuitive. That's a great idea to have an app for desktop/laptop computers! There are a couple of ways that we can make Kudos more accessible; have you tried the Kudos browser extension? It allows you to send and receive Kudos in your browser without needing to go to your Kudos page. This is great if you spend a lot of time in your browser. Our extension is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. You can grab the extension by visiting https://support.kudosnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/203808586-Using-the-Kudos-Browser-Add-on You could also create a shortcut to your Kudos page on your desktop and place it on your Taskbar. This would open Kudos in your preferred web browser whenever you click it. Hopefully one of those options helps! Remember that we're always here to at support@kudosnow.com! jL janak L.
