Like

Being able to send colleagues Kudos and show appreciation.

Like

1. Seamless user experience from the beginning. 2. A thoughtful surprise for users on their birthdays. 3. Easy redemption of points in the form of gift cards.

    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".
