    Kudos®
    Kudos is especially useful and helpful during project deployment where team members can be awarded kudos and appreciation and motivation for their team efforts in meeting milestones and targets. In some instances, the reward types or gifts may seem irrelevant to some departments in certain regions or my company' operations in other parts of the African continent.

    The fact that you can seamlessly share content that is relevant to your business/company is a great tool. This can help production and marketing for a company in a positive direction.

    Pros
    Kudos®
    • One of the most useful aspects of this tool is that it allows you to save the profile of each of the employees individually and to be able to track their activities and give them the recognition they deserve.
    • Another useful feature of "kudos is that the system allows you to assign badges to each profile based on their job performance.
    • I also really like that the platform has a dedicated portal for employees. In which they can see their badges, recognitions and awards obtained for their efforts.

    Cons
    Kudos®
    • Rewards take a long time to be given out, but this I would put on the company's policy.
    • From my own perspective on a mobile phone, it's not so smooth like on desktop, like searching for a colleagues name sometimes is difficult.
    • Sometimes email notifications take too long to come, or they don't even come at all.

    • If I schedule an article to be posted on LinkedIn and want to go back to edit it to have it posted on Twitter as well at the same scheduled time, this is hard and shouldn't be
    • For filtering content so the user just sees articles they are interested in, some of the filters are too broad. I work in Cloud. Cloud happens to also cover things like AI and Data, which aren't in my specialty. I wish my articles and content were just cloud software.
    • The pane where the user can see all scheduled posts could have a different view. They are shown in a list and aren't easy to drag/drop and change. This would be super useful on the desktop browser version.

    In truth, I have never needed to leverage customer support for LinkedIn Elevate. I have have a 100% positive experience with both the mobile app, web browser version and using it in Safari on my iPhone.

    I used to work at a company called Sparc that developed its own in-house platform called Teamphoria. It was great software that coupled a lot of the same features as workday but also with a recognition system. Essentially it allocated certain types of recognition levels per month, 1 platinum, 5 gold, 20 silvers, where each was worth a drawing ticket. At the end of the month, someone would be drawn from that pool based on their received recognition and then receive a gift card. However, some abused this system and devalued its purpose and inflated the meaning behind it. Kudos seems to do a good job by having a direct point/monetization system which isn't up for random chance. This can help even incentivize employees to go above and beyond, getting them to work harder since they are receiving recognition for it.

    Definitely LinkedIn elevate is a much easier program to use while still offering more complexity in Data and allowing better connection among employees. The content side makes it much more interesting and enjoyable than other programs. It also provides a more unique layout and structure that employees can seamlessly share content and learn from other posts.

    • Incentivizes employee to work harder.
    • Helps with thanking our employees for jobs well done without having just a normal "Thank You."
    • Allows the employees to use kudos for company SWAG or items they may need in their lives and it's all possible to get thanks to KUDOS.
