Spotsaas Editor’s POV

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

Check whether your team will use points-based rewards or prefer direct recognition; Kudos ...Read more

"Great for recognizing small wins"

What do you like best about Kudos? I love using kudos to recognize the wins of those on other teams. What do you dislike about Kudos? Ordering only one item at a time.. we have been asking for multiple quantity for years. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a way to let peers recognize peers (other than quarterly awards) in a cost effective way.

"One of the best utilities a business could ask for."

What do you like best about Kudos? The user interface is near perfect. Everything feels natural when you go to different pages and scrolling through your timeline. It has a social network feel (à la Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) It brightens my day to know that even if you think you didn't break a sweat helping someone, they truly appreciated whatever you did for them, and decided to give you their points for the help. It's truly a wonderful program and I hope more companies start ...
