What are Kudos?
Kudos are awards and encouragements that can be handed out by a member of staff to another member of staff in the same location.
How do I view my Kudos?
On the' You' page you can easily see if you have received any new Kudos and from there you can also give Kudos.
To see all of your Kudos, click on 'See All' on the right hand side of the Kudos section. From this page you'll also see 'Kudos Sent' next to the 'My Kudos' tab where you can see all the Kudos you have handed out, and the 'Hall of Fame'.
In the admin you can also choose to show the Kudos component on the 'Home' page on Engage. If you have received a new Kudos which is unopened this will display. If you have no unopened Kudos then you'll be able to see the most recent kudos handed out within your organisation.
Hall of Fame 🎉
The Hall of Fame shows all Kudos that have been handed out within your organisation. You can view 'Your Location', 'Your Region' or 'All'.
This is a great encouragement for employees to get involved and to hand out Kudos!
How do I create a Kudos?
Kudos can be created on the web only by anyone who has the 'manage kudos' permission. This is usually head office and managers. For example, you may want to create a kudos to hand out to employees when they have reached a certain milestone such as a sales target.

How can I give Kudos?
You can give Kudos across all platforms.
