What is an Incentive in Kudos?
Incentives are structured, automated campaigns that reward employees for participating in specific initiatives such as completing training, joining challenges, or hitting milestones. You can set eligibility rules, proof requirements, approval steps, and rewards to drive engagement in a consistent and scalable way.
Use these templates as inspiration and adjust the wording to match your audience.
