What is an Award in Kudos?
Awards in Kudos are a powerful way to formally recognize exceptional contributions that go beyond everyday appreciation. They give managers flexible permissions, dedicated point banks, and enhanced visibility to celebrate big wins in a meaningful and budget aligned way.
Awards can also take the form of nominations. With nominations, peers or leaders put forward individuals for recognition, making it a great way to highlight values based achievements, team successes, or special contributions from different parts of the organization.
Whether given directly or through a nomination, Awards help shine a spotlight on achievements that deserve to be remembered and celebrated.
