Spotsaas Editor’s POV

Kudos works best for organizations with 50+ employees where peer recognition drives engagement.

I also appreciate how easy the tool is to use. What do you dislike about Kudos? It would be nice to be able to redeem more mainstream items/services w/ points. (ex. retail or online gift cards, electronics, brand name items). In addition, when giving an "award" the user should be able to create their own "badge" as opposed to being ...
