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

"Great way to give an extra high five and motivate team members"

What do you like best about Kudos? Receiving Kudos is always an unexpected and much-appreciated surprise. I tend to appreciate the kudos themselves even more than the monetary value attached.

"Implementation process was organized well."

What do you like best about Kudos? I like the way that Kudos has allowed our remote culture to interact with one another more visibly. What do you dislike about Kudos? That manager's who are part of another bonus program can't be flagged for not receiving points. Those individuals should be able to receive Kudos without the points tied to them. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? I like the way that Kudos has allowed our remote culture to interact with one another ...

"Great motivator for remote workforce!"

What do you like best about Kudos? It's very hard to bridge the gap between words on the screen and your impact in real life. I find that Kudos is able to unequivocally communicate a "good job" to others without having to write a lengthy email. What do you dislike about Kudos? To be honest, there isn't anything that I dislike about this software. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? Ability to motivate and recognize remote workforce with tangible benefits for good work.
