Boosting Engagement and Recognition: A Comprehensive Review of Kudos
The experience with Kudos tends to be positive, particularly when the platform is used thoughtfully and as part of a broader employee engagement strategy. Organizations that actively encourage its use and tailor it to fit their specific culture tend to get the most out of the platform.
Pros
The ability to publicly share recognition posts allows teams to celebrate successes together, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Cons
For smaller teams or organizations, the platform's features might feel unnecessary or too complex, especially if the company doesn’t have a large workforce to foster widespread use.

Just an employee
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.

Kudos is so nice!!!
Pros
I love that you can interact with the people you work with. I have been using kudos for over 2 years now and it's so easy to log in and recognize any coworker of yours that helped you out or when out of their way. Its also a great way for your supervisors to show their appreciation for their employees by saying something nice or giving someone a kudos points that could later be converted to gift cards. I will continue to use this platform!
Cons
It would be great if we had more gift card choices! Overall kudos is great.

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
