Hello again!

We at Kudos have been thinking about this question quite a lot in the past year as we worked to develop the recognition and engagement programs on www.kudosnow.com - so I was interested to listen to Gary Vaynerchuk’s perspective during his recent Webinar given via GoToMeeting Corporate (http://www.gotomeeting.com) on “How to Win in the Thank You Economy?”

Kudos is a simple & cost effective peer-to-peer recognition and communication system that can be employed by any size organization as a foundation and holistic approach to Employee Engagement.

I have run many companies over the years and the one common thing between them all was the need to engage the team to maximize performance and as a result the bottom-line. In each company we worked hard to articulate the vision and objectives so the team understood the big picture and what their role was in achieving our common goals. It did not matter if it was a manufacturing operation or a consulting company – the team members were looking to the leadership for purpose and direction.
