Recognition

Employee recognition with Kudos is different from traditional, rewards-focused programs and software. The solution allows organizations to highlight incremental levels of performance and contribution with every recognition message. Businesses can give personalized awards to celebrate important company or team achievements and outstanding individual contributions. Kudos is configurable to let users allot points for every recognition message received, enabling employees to redeem from an extensive catalog of gift cards and other rewards of their choice.

Core values alignment

Company values are the foundation of culture and are at the core of the recognition program in the platform. Kudos links every recognition message to behaviors valued by the organization. Behaviors and qualities are the practical representation of how employees practice company values day-to-day.

People analytics

Kudos People Analytics delivers robust dashboards that present deep insight into performance, workplace culture, and employee experience. It demystifies the complex relationships across the organization and identifies trends in interdepartmental collaboration. This feature also empowers businesses to proactively improve culture.

Culture reinforcement tools

The software presents the Culture Accelerator™ feature for reinforcing and accelerating culture. This feature has creative, custom programs that help keep culture top of mind. Additionally, users can store memories, showcase their company culture, and create custom content with Kudos Spaces and Albums.
