Kudos®

Supporting the mental health of your team should be an ongoing focus. One of the most effective ways to keep it top of mind is to make sure your managers and leaders are checking in regularly with their teams. Most of you probably already do this – you have your weekly one-on-ones scheduled, but are you asking the right questions in these sessions: ➡️ How are you feeling lately, both inside and outside of work? ➡️ What aspects of your job are currently causing you the most stress? ➡️ Are there additional supports or resources you feel could help you manage better? These types of questions are designed to reveal the early signs of stress and burnout and encourage open dialogue between you and your team. This is what mental health support looks like in the workplace, and what every manager in your organization should be doing. Our Manager’s Guide to Employee Check-ins offers more tips on supporting the mental health of your team: https://hubs.li/Q02N2CdY0 #MentalHealthMatters #EmployeeWellness #WorkplaceCulture

👏 Bosco C. understands the assignment. “Kudos encourages to not put off recognition till the annual performance review cycle or formal feedback milestones.” - Bosco. C Senior Director Global Applications 💡 Have you ever asked yourself these questions at your job: - Does my manager think I'm performing well? - Is my work valued here? - Am I doing enough? Consistent recognition ensures your team understands their worth, their purpose, and their willingness to succeed. Telling your employees they’re performing well shouldn’t happen once a year – it should happen every day. “The Kudos mobile app and site is so handy to quickly commend someone on their contribution. Kudos encourages to not put off recognition till the annual performance review cycle or formal feedback milestones. Even if I don't have a Kudos points balance, I can still recognize someone and make their day.” - Bosco C.

Introducing our new resources section – Team Building Activities!

“I love how we get rewarded for positive outcomes in the office. This makes me work harder every day.” 📣 We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – recognition improves productivity and motivates employees to perform their best. When we witness recognition being given to our colleagues, it serves as a powerful motivator to engage in more recognition ourselves. It activates the reward center of our brains and automatically produces motivational thought patterns. Are you ready to make recognition a workplace habit? Let’s start the conversation ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q02HTn6k0 “Being able to compliment coworkers and have fun in the workplace environment are two things I love most about Kudos. I love how we get rewarded for positive outcomes in the office. This makes me work harder every day.” - Christi F.

Does your organization need a culture audit? ⬇️ Austen Tully (she/her), SVP and Director of Integration & Culture at Guided By Good recently sat down with Hebba Youssef and discussed all-things culture and how to keep employees connected, especially in a remote work setting. Austen dove into a strategy - performing a culture audit - that's very effective at revealing the gaps in your culture. "We sat down as a team and did an audit to find out what is actually serving the purpose of the things we say we care about. The work we do, our purpose and the values we vow to as a company that we want our people to align with." 🌟 Here are the 6 categories she focuses on, and the questions she asks: 1. Connection: how do we keep in-person and remote teams connected? 2. Communication: how do our leaders share out to the organization and how do we listen? 3. Creativity: how do we inspire and what tools do we provide that get people excited about their work, and to do their best work? 4. Process: what tools or softwares do we use to keep people aligned? 5. 🔑 Recognition: how do we as a company recognize our people and how do we enable them to recognize each other? 6. Programs: how do we train our people, provide for them, and set them up for success? 🎧 Listen to the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eEPUiNWC #HRPodcast #EmployeeRecognition #Kudos #RemoteWork

Supporting leaders in building strong, inclusive, and resilient workplace cultures is what we do, regardless of the working model your organization has chosen. No matter the approach, employees should feel engaged, valued, and recognized for their contributions from anywhere at any time. 👏 “What I really like about Kudos is that it provides an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships between myself and my coworkers.

How do you make recognition part of your team's routine? 🏅 The Paris 2024 Olympics are off to a great start, and Team Canada is already making us proud! Summer McIntosh won a silver in the 400m freestyle, and Eleanor Harvey earned a bronze in fencing. It’s amazing to see our athletes shine on such a big stage. At Kudos®, we see daily how powerful it is to recognize someone’s effort and achievements. Just like the support that fuels our Olympic athletes, a little recognition can go a long way in boosting team morale and performance back at the office. Why not take inspiration from the Olympic spirit and make sure you're acknowledging the hard work happening around you every day?
