What does it mean to be a Kudosian?

Definition [Kudo-see-inn]:
A person who is a big dreamer and hard worker; one who believes in changing the world one thank-you at a time. Someone who always brings their “A” game every day and approaches everything with positive energy and enthusiasm. A Kudosian works hard, works smart, has fun, and genuinely cares about their coworkers.

Who we are

A SaaS-based company that makes employee recognition simple and meaningful. We believe everyone deserves to experience a culture of recognition.

At Kudos, we value happiness and well-being. We celebrate differences and devote time, energy, and resources to build an environment where all team members can speak openly, be courageous, try new things, and bring their whole, authentic selves to work.

Checking the Kudos wall helps me keep in touch with what everyone else is working on, achieving, and having fun with! Everything about Kudos is people-centric – this naturally encourages you to rethink how you manage that balance if you weren’t previously lucky enough to work in this kind of environment

Mélanie Beaudry Desjardins,
Product Manager

My experience here has been phenomenal. I've loved my time at Kudos so far and I would highly recommend that others take any opportunity they get to work here. I love coming into the office to see all my favourite co-workers and getting to know some new people. Also, the flexibility with hours makes it super easy to get my work done when and how I want.

Scout Sackley,
Account Executive

There is a strong and unique culture here, – it is welcoming, friendly, supportive, and goal-oriented. I get to connect and engage with my team and other teams frequently. Sharing messages of appreciation and gratitude positively impacts my personal life. A huge benefit that takes place in the summer is Half Days on Fridays. Kudos is a remarkable and ambitious company with great people leading it: there is innovation and creativity in all areas, so be prepared to fully step in and be a part of it!

Kudos' newest feature, powered by AI, promises to transform how employees and leaders give recognition to boost engagement, reduce turnover, and improve performance.

Calgary, AB—Kudos®, a leading provider in employee recognition and rewards, today announced the launch of its innovative Recognition Assistant, an AI-powered feature designed to refine and simplify employee recognition. Built into the Kudos platform, this tool enhances participation and expands the reach of recognition programs, broadening how organizations celebrate and appreciate their team members' contributions.

The Kudos Recognition Assistant uses generative AI to help users craft more impactful and meaningful messages while tailoring them to individual achievements and occasions. This seamless integration of technology and appreciation ensures that all team members' efforts are acknowledged promptly and thoughtfully.  

"Effective recognition is about sincerity and personalization. However, finding the right words can sometimes be a challenge, especially under time or language constraints," said Muni Boga, President and CEO of Kudos. "Our Recognition Assistant removes these barriers by providing suggestions that users can adopt directly or customize as needed. This not only enhances the recognition experience but also significantly eases the process for all our users."  

With the Recognition Assistant, Kudos leverages over a decade of expertise in employee recognition to offer a user-friendly solution that generates customized, resonant messages from basic user inputs.

At Kudos, privacy and security are of utmost importance. This new feature empowers Kudos clients with complete control over the activation of the AI-driven Recognition Assistant. Fully compliant with GDPR and strictly adhering to Kudos' rigorous Data Processing Agreement, they can guarantee that customer data is never utilized for AI model training.

The Kudos Recognition Assistant complements the platform's growing suite of employee recognition and engagement tools. Earlier this year, Kudos released Pulse Surveys and Group eCards to enhance its popular Recognition and Rewards app.
