Nothing short of an exceptional experience! Our team is in loving with having Kudos.

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: More customizing options for the pages feature, but not really a con. I've found a work around by creating custom graphics with my preferred images and fonts and uploading. Very easy to read on mobile phones which is so nice! This has become our company "go to" for resources such as our benefit program overview.

Pros:

The program is incredibly user friendly and availability on all platforms: computer, mobile, Gmail build in, and more. We have employees with language barriers that can use the program with ease! The program has connected our company and solidified our core values of team. With hotels spread out our province, all the teams can come together to recognize, share best practices, and celebrate success. It has also helped me get to know our team and helps our ownership group stay involved with day to day news. One of the customer rep, from the beginning, has been incredibly helpful and efficient. Kudos Support help answer any questions I have so quickly and properly. Not to mention, I have given multiple improvement requests which have come through shortly after! Kudos truly cares and we feel valued... most importantly, our team feels valued having this incredible tool to recognize and communicate with each other. I would not hesitate to recommend Kudos to any other organization.

Great for Employee Engagement

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Very positive. I'm very confident that this tool will help us build a more positive culture and a new way to put focus on employee recognition.

Pros:

It's structured like a social feed and very easy to use. Minimal training required and implementation and customization was very simple. Powerful tool for increasing employee engagement and building a culture of recognition.

Cons:

I wish it supported GIF files and had a way to set up points activities that users could claim, but other than that it's great!

Pros:

Easy to put in metrics for measuring employee engagement.

Just an employee

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Kudos is great.It allows work colleagues to reward each other with small sums that can add up and foster a work environment where people actively express gratitude to colleagues openly.It also allows manager to gift and recognise individuals or teams going the extra mile for the company.

Pros:

In my company, kudos is used as a small bonus and recognition scheme.Employees give points and receive points that can be spent on various options.Managers can reward teams, and make this public or private.And at the end of a long months, a few £’s on a Tesco voucher can be a life saver.

Cons:

Loving in via mobile app can be slow or just not work until you are in a stable WiFi spot.Viewing your wall has a habit of not scrolling down, but just resting to the top.
