Great for recognition and motivation

Pros

I love this idea for sharing wins and achievements with everyone at the company. It's always nice to read when people are showing appreciation for each other and I think the point system is pretty fair too.

Cons

It took me a minute to figure out�how�to actually redeem my points.�The option was kind of hidden. But honestly once I found it the process was super smooth and easy.

Okay so I really like Kudos but I have one tiny problem..the notifications !! There are so many of them that I sometimes miss the really important stuff. It can get a bit overwhelming.

Fuel for motivation but limited points

Pros

Kudos is like the golden ticket of recognition. When I get to acknowledge someone for helping me out it feels like more than just a reward it's like fuel for their motivation. It really ignites a fire that pushes all of us forward. I use this portal all the time and it's just so easy to use.

Cons

I love that we have it but man 100 points a month just is not enough!�I usually blow through mine in the first two weeks and then I feel bad because I can't recognize people for the rest of the month. It feels a little limiting.
