The Recognition Your People Expect

Kudos turns everyday interactions into meaningful recognition that feels natural, easy to use, and built for how real teams connect.

Peer-to-peer recognition that builds great culture.

Recognition doesn’t have to come from the top to make an impact. Teams can celebrate each other on the spot, in the flow of work, and in a way that feels real.

Use points if it fits your style, schedule recognition for the perfect moment, or let our AI Recognition Assistant help you find the right words. However it happens, recognition with Kudos truly sticks.

Empower your leaders to lead through recognition.

Kudos gives managers what they need to deliver meaningful recognition that hits the mark, not just another HR checkbox. Whether it’s celebrating progress, boosting morale, or marking a big win, manager recognition in Kudos checks all the boxes that matter: meaningful, easy, and built for real connection.

Make every milestone feel meaningful.

Milestones deserve more than a quick email or a forgotten calendar reminder. With Kudos, birthdays, work anniversaries, and onboarding moments are automatically celebrated with cards that feel personal and genuine.

Managers get a friendly heads-up before each big day so they never miss a chance to show up for their team. Less manual work, more meaningful moments.

Start building a culture that inspires great work.
