    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.

    Well getting surveys from clients is a hectic job (as a user we all ignore surveys all the time ) SurveySparrow comes to the rescue and provides links to forward your survey on WhatsApp, email, and so many options. You can create a copy of the survey which you created and that is very time efficient. Suppose you have 3 clients and you give them the same service you can add a variable that will simply change the name of the client and the rest of the survey stays the same no need to create a different survey, mega time saver.

    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.

    • Creating and sending surveys is very easy and intuitive, no instructions needed. The interface is clean and inviting.
    • The mobile-first interface greatly increases response rates form my experience. Filling out a survey is like text messaging on your phone.
    • Surveys are more conversational in tone rather than an answer to the question style of the survey most other companies offer.
    • The feature set is not as robust as some other survey software but its simplicity makes it easy to use all around.
    • Customer support is very responsive.

    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.

    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.

    We originally used Survey Monkey but found customer support to be unresponsive when we needed it and also the style of surveys you could create were bland and boring, leading to lower response rates. We chose Survey Sparrow for their mobile-first and chat-style survey interface because we have a mobile audience and have found they prefer this style of survey better.

    Return on Investment
    Kudos®
    • 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.
