    Kudos really helps to build team morale. I love seeing everyone call each other out for the great work their doing, and I think that kind of feedback makes people work harder. Sometimes teams can be a very segmented. With kudos, you can easily see what other teams are working on, fostering an atmosphere of engagement and communication.

    Pros

    Your hard work turns into cold, hard, cash!

    I like that you can choose from kudos-branded or company-branded rewards!

    I like that you can choose to send your kudos privately or publicly.

    I like that you can endorse a kudos someone else has sent.

    I like that you get kudos on your birthday!

    I like that you can't send all your kudos to one person, forcing you to spread it out.

    Cons

    I wish unused kudos could roll over to the next month.

    I wish adding giphs to a post was easier.

    I wish that clicking the +K button actually added additional kudos.

    I wish there were more Canadian-specific Kudos rewards.

    I would like to get a reminder email towards the end of each month, reminding me to use up the last of my kudos.

    I love it, I use it everyday and recommend its use to everyone irrespective of your job level.

    Pros

    The structure and ease of use has allowed me to very easily recognize my peers , leaders and staff. The integrated dashboards also creates competitiveness which makes it even more fun.

    Cons

    The software needs to have some build in moderation to identify "fake" recognition's. An exceptional category gets selected with the contents saying thank you.

    My wife uses Kudos at her work place but there is no way for me to send her messages or awards. I know its only for in-company use.
