Kudos is the easy to use Recognition & Communication system that takes Engagement to a new level.
In its simplest form, Kudos is a secure corporate social media network. But as you begin to use Kudos, it develops into a dynamic performance management system, specifically designed to engage your team by creating culture of recognition and engagement.
As a communication tool, Kudos enables team members, employees, managers and leadership to stay connected, collaborate and coach. The easy to use social media interface empowers the entire team to share important information, from personal status updates to the organizational vision and goals. By connecting employees to the organization’s cultural brand and showing them that they are indeed appreciated, individuals stay engaged and happier.
This is the heart of the system. An easy to use social media platform empowers everyone to recognize the great things team members do everyday. In just a few clicks, team members can give meaningful recognition and feedback for a simple gesture to a significant accomplishment. Each Kudos message is associated with ‘smart’ characteristics and an escalating point system. The Kudos Characteristics create a profile of the individual and are designed to reinforce values and recognize skills. The Kudos universal point system helps guides the user in selecting an appropriate level of recognition. The Kudos system enables Team Leaders to gain insight that simple compliments and performance reviews just don’t provide. With such powerful information available, managing and rewarding your team just got a whole lot easier.
Our paid plan allows organizations to easily customize their Kudos network. Add a company logo, match corporate colors, create a custom title, select a custom URL and SignIn page. Kudos is truly a part of YOUR brand.
The Kudos system is fully flexible so organizations can allow team members to display the business basics or share a deeper personal profile that will help connect them with their peers. The choice is always there.
Photo, name, title, department, location, contact information, reporting structure, special skills and knowledge can all be added to an individual’s business profile.
Whether you want to use team head shots, or allow members to express their individuality, adding and changing avatars is easy.
Our personal profile section is an optional feature, activated by your administrator. If you decide this feature fits with your corporate culture, team members can post their education, hobbies, interests, relationships and highlight their favorite things. This is a great tool for team members to get to know each other better and help management deliver personalized employee rewards.
The Kudos team directory is a place for up to date key contact information with links to deeper personally managed profiles. Quickly see a team members’ bio to learn more about them, their role, and see their status.
Kudos allows team members to quickly and easily let everyone know if they are available, in meeting or away for an extend time. Your availability is seen throughout the site. A simple feature that creates operational efficiencies and enhances productivity.
Keep your peers and team members informed on what is happening in your work world by posting an internal status update to your team’s Kudos network. Whether you are in a meeting, offsite for the day, closed a big account or just want people to know what you are working on – you can post a status update to keep people in the loop.
The Kudos Team Wall is where people can post Public Kudos to recognize their peers so the whole team can see and share in the great things individuals are doing. Kudos can also be kept private and only the sender and receivers names are highlighted. Think of the wall as the team’s bulletin board where people connect with everyone else on the social network, comment on Kudos, share thoughts and solicit feedback. The Team Wall is is also where the leadership can connect with the team by communicating key messages, vision and objectives as well as posting timely notes on news and accomplishments.
The Kudos administrator can run detailed reports at any time or get a high-level overview based on top Kudos point receivers or senders. The reporting feature is only visible to administrators. They can search by reporting period, locations and departments or by individuals. The administrator can quickly sort, print or export the information, as required. General reports include details on Sender, Receiver, Points, Recognition Messages, and the associated qualities and skills.
