An easy and FUN way to say thank you

Overall experience has been great, as mentioned above it is an easy and quick way to show someone that they matter as a part of your team. Actions speak louder than words, and by giving some kudos to someone who is doing great in their position, it is the just the icing on top of the thank you that you already gave them!

PROS

I love Kudos because it is that extra little something to tell a coworker thank you or that you appreciate them! I love being able to award team members for their work and then they can turn around and use those Kudos to buy themselves something special. Kudos is a creative way to give back to those people who help you or make your work day better! I love giving and receiving KUDOS! :)

CONS

I have had no issues when using this software

Recognition made easy

I love it, I use it everyday and recommend its use to everyone irrespective of your job level.

PROS

The structure and ease of use has allowed me to very easily recognize my peers , leaders and staff. The integrated dashboards also creates competitiveness which makes it even more fun.

CONS

The software needs to have some build in moderation to identify "fake" recognition's. An exceptional category gets selected with the contents saying thank you.

Kudos to Kudos for Employee Recognition

It's a terrific app for easily and specifically recognizing TMs in the moment.

PROS

I use the app with my cell phone which allows me to capture excellent TM performance both written and through video/photo in the moment.

CONS

Sometimes it is difficult to recognize TMs due to their name being spelled unusually. Example: Desmond vs Dezmon
