It is fine - it is easy to send Kudos but I find the interface isn't intuitive and I have to remind myself how to navigate it every time I log in.

    Employee Wishes for Reward Point Allocation in Kudos Platform

    4.0
    Jun 5, 2025
    I really like Kudos Platform. It is near perfect. The only thing I would change is management is allocated reward points monthly to give away, but employees are not. It would be nice for me as an employee sent reward points to the person, I am giving Kudos to as well as just a "Thanks" or "Great Job".
