Kudos Erfahrungen

Vorteile

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! :)

Nachteile

I have had no issues when using this software

Vorteile

I really enjoy the ease of giving kudos to my employees. I can change the values, attach fun memes or badges, and recognize for a good job.

Nachteile

Maybe it is the way my employer utilizes it, but I don’t like that lower level employees can’t give actual kudos points to their peers.

Vorteile

It is well designed in 4 categories with clear explanations and easy use

Nachteile

To be frank nothing is least likely in this software

Vorteile

As a user of Kudos, I have had a very positive experience with the software. One of the standout features of Kudos is its user-friendly interface. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, which has made it easy for me to use it daily.Another great feature of Kudos is its ability to track and manage employee recognition programs. As a manager, I have found it invaluable to have a platform that allows me to track employee recognition and provide real-time feedback easily. This has not only helped me to manage my team better, but it has also improved employee morale and engagement.

Nachteile

One of the cons of using Kudos is that it can be a bit pricey, especially for smaller organizations. As a manager in a smaller organization, I found that the cost of Kudos was a significant investment, and I had to weigh the benefits against the cost carefully.Another potential downside is that Kudos can be somewhat limited in customization. While the platform offers a range of features and tools, it may not be as customizable as some users would like. This may be a drawback for organizations with specific needs or requirements.

Vorteile

I like that you can just select the reason you're giving the kudos such as Team Work or Knowledge Sharing

Nachteile

I wish coworker's reviews counted towards points for rewards, but just getting recognized is nice.

Vorteile

I like that you can see multiple kudos from around the company. Seeing the recognition is very motivating.

Nachteile

When selecting on your own profile it would be good if the dashboard was simpler/cleaner

Vorteile

This program makes is so easy to send positive feedback and thanks to my coworkers for their help and the ways they support me and the company. I really appreciate the reminder emails I occasionally get to send out kudos to my coworkers- it helps to be reminded of this simple thing. I also think it's great that I get a monthly allotment of "coins" to spread out as praise, and these coins can build up into an actual reward for my coworkers, to be spent as they choose.

Nachteile

I'm not sure how easy it is to "spend" your coins (or whatever they're called, I can't remember), as I haven't accumulated enough to spend. It may be easy, but I'm not sure.

Vorteile

Ease of use and straightforward, easy to give Kudos to people recongnized.

Nachteile

Layout of the dashboard is a little clustered. Hard to find my Kudo status.

Vorteile

I love that we can recognize collogues and thank them for their contributions. It helps the business run well by thanking others.

Nachteile

I love everything about it. It really helps our work environment.

Vorteile

easy to use, fun to get kudos points and use them on gift cards

Nachteile

having the points be put on you taxes at the end of the year

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Kudos

Kudos was much more affordable and had virtually all of the same features. It also puts more emphasis on the core values and qualities that you want employees to demonstrate vs. the number of points sent from user to user.

Vorteile

Kudos is a great platform for recognizing associates. It is extremely intuitive and easy to use, I was able to learn the platform quickly and easily with a minimal amount of support from Kudos. Anything that was difficult to learn was easily researched on Kudos' help pages. Even though I was able to learn the platform with a minimal amount of support, Kudos was there every step of the way with any help that I may need. The support was very responsive and if there was anything they needed to research and get back to me, I would have answers generally within 24-48 hours. The rep has been amazing in making sure I feel like I always have a connection to Kudos to quickly take care of any issues.

The software is very easy to learn for our associates, it is set up similarly to other social media sites which help ease users into it. The rewards are also extremely easy to use with a very fast response, our associates love being able to cash in for a reward and get it nearly instantly.

Nachteile

The only problem we've had is likely just related to how our organization is set up. We would love a way to set a flag on certain individuals so that they can not receive points (such as setting our upper management to be unable to receive points, we want to save our point funds for the associates), but at the same time we want upper management to still receive Kudos. There are work-arounds for this, but it would be nice to have a simple flag you can set on certain users. I would also enjoy the ability to be able to customize the point values on the Thank you, Good Job, Impressive, and Exceptional Kudos; but again, this was very easy to work around.

Vorteile

The software helps you recognize and appreciate a colleges good work on spot in a more rewarding way.
The Software equally acts as a chatting platform i.e after sending a college Kudos, someone has a provision of where to leave a comment thus creating a chatting platform where two or more people can leave or exchange congratulatory messages.
The software also has privacy features that is to say one can choose to send kudos but make the message private. you could be sending kudos to your girlfriend with the same company so the privacy feature helps make your conversation private.
The notification messages like the birthday notifications, how long you have been working in the company etc are also one feature i love.

Nachteile

1) Few rewards to redeem, sometimes you have the points but no rewards to redeem that is to say there are limited options of rewards to redeem
2)Some rewards don't make you feel the value of your hardly earned kudos points.
3)The colours on the site are a little too bright to a naked eye.

Vorteile

This has been a huge improvement over our last employee recognition program. It was nearly barbaric in comparison. Imagine having to physically write a thank you on a card! In actuality, we made the decision to move because we have five locations and the physical cards took so long to get to staff between branches. I think we lost a lot of meaning in the recognition. Now as soon as the good stuff happens staff can thank their co-worker and everyone can see it immediately.
KUDOS has been an easy transition for staff. Because the majority are familiar with social media the idea of the "wall" and "postings" is simple to relate to. I appreciate the ability to customize how many points each person can give. For instance, I have one manager with 1 employee and another with 20. Or if we put out a cross-marketing incentive I can increase the management KUDOS allotment to allow for extra points.
Staff have been redeeming for gift cards, but they have also enjoyed the custom rewards. We added in things such as logo wear, PTO days and sweet treats. Who wouldn't love to come in to a little dessert once in awhile!
I love the full scope of reporting that KUDOS offers. This has been instrumental in showing Senior Management the positive engagement that we are seeing. I hope to implement individual KQ's into our performance management process soon. I haven't taken advantage of the survey options yet, but that is next in exploring all the things that KUDOS offers.

Nachteile

Nothing that I can think of. I would love if they would look at implementing a performance management feature in the future.

Vorteile

This software has so many great factors in it. However, what I enjoy the most is redeeming my Kudos. Not only are we thanked for the extra help we provide our company. We are also given Kudos credit, which can be used at a wide selection of stores. You can spoil yourself by purchasing just about anything you want.

Nachteile

There are a few small features that can be improved. Being able to customize our personal profile page by adding wallpaper or background color. Adding more options to posts and comments. Such as font styles, font sizes, and a bigger variety of sticker options.

Vorteile

We use Kudos every day within our company. It is a great way to let our team members know what a great job they are doing! It is very user friendly and we have been able to integrate it with other systems. The customer support is always very friendly and super helpful. They are efficient in getting responses back!

Nachteile

The reporting could be a little more streamlined.

Vorteile

Ease of use for staff members to share praise. This is very valuable to our team!

Nachteile

It may be cool to have this as an APP that can be more readily pinned to taskbar for faster praise and easier use.

Vorteile

Kudos allows everyone on our team, no matter their role, to acknowledge, thank and honor the special people we work with in a public forum. Kudos are an easy way to do just a little bit extra for someone who you think when above and beyond on a project or task. Making it easy to reward our coworkers and team members has made it really easy to drive a culture of gratitude, and allows people to honor the slightly smaller but still very important quality efforts, those things that may not be Employee of the Month worthy, but are definitely worth recognizing. I love the degrees and gradations of rewards-- being able to give just a little Thanks-for-the-Hand, or a Seriously-You-Saved-The-Day kinds of praise. Kudos have definitely helped us promote a more positive culture in our organization.

Nachteile

I wish I got more points per month! 50 just isn't enough sometimes. I also wish the system was integrated in our Slack feed more readily or that the board where kudos are posted were more obvious. I like seeing who is being appreciated and standing out in the company, but I miss it because I just use the website version (and I am not signed in all the time).

Vorteile

Easy to use tool that not only adds value to recognition at different levels, from a thank you all the way to an exceptional achievement, but also allows everyone in the company to be recognising, and to be recognised, at the same level.

My team is a big fan of this tool, it encourages them to share feedback and recognise people around them, bringing visibility we might not have otherwise, as some of this recognition is so quick or specific it might be unnoticed if we didn't have this platform.

Nachteile

With the team being based in EMEA, at some points it's been a challenge to have flexibility in terms of rewards, in comparison with our peers in the US. However, over the past couple of years, we've not only seen a broader offer of local benefits, but the team have also shared some best practices that allow us to make the best use of our kudos.

Vorteile

I love how Kudos allows you to compliment your colleagues for the tasks and goals they accomplish along with sending some Kudos points which gives a sense of reward. Users are then able to redeem these points for money value which is a great incentive to work harder and gain more Kudos. The software allows for company-wide recognition as well which in turn motivates you and build self confidence.

Nachteile

The fact that we have to reach a certain number of points to redeem them sometimes bothers me as the maximum amount of points you can transfer at a time is 50 points and to redeem them you have to reach a minimum of 20,000 points. A more feasible way would be either to reward more points in a single post or decrease the minimum redemption target to 5000 points.

Vorteile

Kudos provides a fantastic platform to show your appreciation for your colleagues. Doing my day to day work has become a much more gratifying experience. I feel like my work has a much bigger impact when I receive Kudos.

Nachteile

Kudos, in general, is a very easy to use platform, but I would like to see its user interface become a tad more modern. The current interface looks a little dated when comparing to other modern sites.

Vorteile

What I love about Kudos the most is that there are so many options to cash in for your gift card. You name a place, and there's a gift card for it on there. I love it. It is fast and friendly! Its a great way for employees to interact with other employees. Money is one of the best incentives a company can give and with Kudos you're able to spend it however you like. When I have my own business I will be sure to use Kudos and nothing else!

Nachteile

I don't like how you can't see what everyone says about a person unless you see it scrolling. I'd like it even better if we were given the option to click on someones name and then you could see all of the Kudos posted.

Vorteile

I like the software because it is easy to use. The idea behind Kudos is also original and it makes work a little more exciting to be rewarded for hard work.

Nachteile

I cannot think of a single con with the Kudos software.

Vorteile

The Kudos platform has been a big success at our company. It provides an easy method of thanking our co-workers for assistance to recognizing them for a major accomplishment on a project. I enjoy reading the news feed of Kudos recognition throughout our organization. It helps me learn about many of the great things taking place throughout our company.

Nachteile

I've been using the Kudos platform for over 2 years and have not experienced any issues or concerns.

Vorteile

This is a great tool to show appreciation for personnel and their efforts to work together to grow as a company .

Nachteile

I am unsure if it is a client based setting but there should be defined causes for resetting an activity. A die hard responder for feedback, should not be penalized for taking time off from work such as a vacation.
