Giving Kudos Awards

Kudos Awards are recognition for the big achievements! If a team member has recently completed an important project, gained a new certification, or done something truly exceptional, giving them a Kudos Award is a great way to recognize their accomplishment.

By default, Super Admins and Admins are able to send Kudos Awards. Limited Admin Privileges can be assigned to Users to allow them to send Kudos Awards and badges. If you'd like to learn more about setting up Badge Permissions to allow select users or departments to send specific Badges, please reach out to your Account Manager or our Support Team at support@kudos.com. 

If you have the correct privileges, you will see Award as an option beside Recognize on the Give Bar. Click Award to open the Give Form. 

When you send an Award, you can edit the amount of points being sent and add a Badge. To change both the number of points you give in an Award and select a Badge, click the edit icon beside the Badge name and Points information.

Next, you can enter the number of points you want to send by either typing in a number, or by clicking the up and down arrow. Awards can also be given with 0 points. Some Badges have a set amount of points, and you will not be able to edit the points for those Badges.

Click the Badge you want to attach or click No Badge. If you chose to send the award with a Badge, the recipient(s) can click on the Badge to view it as a Certificate and it will be displayed on their Me page. When you're finished, click Save. 

Now you can enter the recipient(s) in the "To" field and add a message. You can send Awards to a User, a Location, or a Department. Before sending, you must also select at least one Quality. 

We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please reach out to us at support@kudos.com and one of our friendly team members will be happy to assist you.
