Before shortlisting, verify that the platform's gift card catalog includes options relevant to your region—users in non-US markets have reported limited local redemption choices. Check whether your team will use points-based rewards or prefer direct recognition; Kudos ...Read more

"Kudos is a great tool for recognition!"

What do you like best about Kudos? I love the ability to have instant rewards for staff members. I also love the customization options to add our own rewards. What do you dislike about Kudos? The only thing I'd like to see approved is the possibility of management being able to give Kudos points from the staff rewards bank if they are authorized to do so by our department. Right now, we have to temporarily increase their monthly point balance for them to give extra points when it would be ...

We work in an project based industry, including Christmas Lighting installations and it's fun to share those with others. What do you dislike about Kudos? When 1 users gives someone a Kudos, I wish there ...

"Kudos is recommended. "

What do you like best about Kudos? I absolutely love the fact that I can connect with other employees across the board.

Being able to share pictures and GIFS and emojis makes the platform ...

"Kudos is great for keeping multiple offices connected."

What do you like best about Kudos? Its a great way to show appreciation for your co workers and your leadership team.

"Work Social Media"

What do you like best about Kudos? I like this website because it operates just like Facebook or any other professional social media site but it is meant to only uplift our peers and recognize when we go above and beyond. What do you dislike about Kudos? The main things I dislike are that the emoji function when trying to send a message doesn't seem to work, that there is a cap on the amount of kudos you can give monthly and I don't like that more people are not using Kudos. Recommendations ...

"Awesome morale boosting system!"

What do you like best about Kudos? I like the fact that I can use kudos to purchase everyday items or electronics that I can use and absolutely need but wouldn't purchase otherwise because they are too pricey and it allows me to also test items such as portable chargers blue-tooth speakers headphones and the lot. What do you dislike about Kudos? I don't like that there isn't an option as to where to purchase or the price (in dollars) for the items I may have tested previously on the ...

"Great experience for employees and super easy to use "

What do you like best about Kudos? Easy to track usage. It is also a great rewards program that houses the point giving & the reward redeeming. What do you dislike about Kudos? I wish there was a search bar to find someone. You have to usually go to a separate page to search for someone and it would be easier to have access t the search on any pat of the site. Recommendations to others considering Kudos: Try it out - it's worth it and so user friendly! What problems is Kudos solving and how ...
