How to assign Kudos without points?

This article explains how an employee can give kudos to one or more employees.

Kudos are small signs of appreciation for your colleagues' achievements. All employees can award Kudos to each other using the Workmates or Kudos app. 

To give Kudos using the Workmates app:

1. Go to the Workmates app. The top of the feed shows a text area with the text 'What's on your mind'.
2. Click that text area and then the Kudos tab. 
3. Choose the employee whom you want to give Kudos to. You can enter the names of one or more employees here.
4. Add a description of their achievement.
5. Click on 'Add Badge' and select a badge for this category.
6. You can also add an image or GIF, add a location, or feelings or attach a file to the post. 
7. You can choose a channel on which it is going to be posted. When posting on the Company feed, you can filter which employees will be able to see the post based on the following criteria:
   1. Everyone - Everyone in the organization will be able to see the post.
   2. Location - Only employees at the chosen location will be able to see the post.
   3. Department - Only the employees of the chosen department will be able to see the post.
   4. Division - Only employee from chosen division will be able to see the post.

    8.   Edit post settings.

    9.  Click Post. 


If you are unable to use this approach, you need to check the Permission setting for posting on the Company feed.

 

To give Kudos using Kudos app (clients that don't use Workmates): 

1. Go to the Kudos app on the left sidebar.
2. Click that text area on the top. 
3. Choose the employee whom you want to give Kudos. You can enter the names of one or more employees here.
4. Add a description of their achievement.
5. Click on 'Add Badge' and select a badge for this category.
6. You can also add an image or GIF, add a location, or feelings or attach a file to the post.
7. Edit Post Settings.
8.  Click Post. 

 

Please note you can give out Kudos in multiple ways:

1. Through the Workmates app.

2. Through the Kudos app - on Overview or on the Kudos tab.

3. Directly through the employee's profile.
