Spotsaas Editor’s POV

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

"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 ...

"Kudos is the bomb!"

You can get something with a little kudos or save up ad get something nice with a lot of kudos. What do you dislike about Kudos? Kudos prices and the fact ...

"Making work fun!"

What do you like best about Kudos? My favorite thing is the ease of showing appreciation to my fellow coworkers. With the click of a button, I can thank anyone, anywhere for the smallest things (like having a Tums!) to the bigger things like helping with an account. I also LOVE the prizes that can be won. With our company, you can earn anything from a small rubber bracelet with the company logo all the way up to a high end lap top! I'm working towards a smartwatch now! What do you dislike ...

"Wonderfully Motivating"

What do you like best about Kudos? I love checking in every day to see the compliments and stories about why people are getting kudos at my company. We are split into 3 different large call centers around the country so it is also like I get to know some of my coworkers that I may not actually get to meet in person from another state. It's motivating to check in each week for new rewards and saving up for cool prizes. Our most highly coveted prizes include: apple watches, fitbits, a ...

"Chewy Kudos "

What do you like best about Kudos? What I like most about Kudos is the dashboard showing everyone's compliments and reasons why they're giving or receiving Kudos. It's like Facebook for work! The rewards tab is very helpful in showing what is available with the points I have accrued and how many points will be left over if I choose to redeem that reward. What do you dislike about Kudos? What I dislike about Kudos is not having a search bar where you can find the page of a particular person ...
