"Great Program for Morale!"

What do you like best about Kudos? It is always fun giving Kudos to people who go out of their way to help you. What do you dislike about Kudos? I feel like the limit that you can give out per month is too low. Sometimes people deserve more than you can give. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? I can see Kudos making people more productive, and anticipation of possibly receiving Kudos for doing a good job is always exciting.

"Too hard to earn rewards"

What do you like best about Kudos? It was nice to hear praise from co-workers. What do you dislike about Kudos? It quickly became a popularity contest so certain people could earn rewards, one group of employees left almost meaningless comments in order to boost their scores and thus get prizes. Also the level of points to earn a prize made it difficult to 'cash in'. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? It was supposed to be for encouraging cooperation and ...

"Best High Five/ Fist Bump/ Great Job App EVER"

What do you like best about Kudos? This is by far the best app I have used within a company to give co-workers and the people I work with a high five, fist bump and thank you shout-outs. It is great and easy to use- plus you get to add up your points for rewards! REAL money rewards, how amazing is this. It's nothing big but enough to add up. :) What do you dislike about Kudos? Nothing! This app is what it is KUDOS!!! It is easy to use and easy to give kind words through. How is there ...

It's a great system. What problems is Kudos solving and how is that benefiting you? It makes a little bit of a more formal way to recognize someone.

"It is wise to recognize"

What do you like best about Kudos? I like the variety of rewards that are available to choose from. The 1-month time frame to give points is ample time for things to occur which allow one to decide the impact someone else had on a particula task or project. What do you dislike about Kudos? Kudos doesn't figure into the HR Performance Review scoring. Also, if I have leftover points to give and no one deserves the points, I cannot allocate any to myself. Kudos are taxed via payroll. A person ...
