Kudos
The "Kudos" tool allows users to send any of their colleagues, subordinates, or managers a message of appreciation for work done, help provided, or any other encouraging text.
For this tool to work, you need to enable the Kudos module and give the roles such permissions:
- send kudos (for all users);
- manage kudos (only for the administrator).
Sending kudos
To send kudos to any employee, you need to find his card in Contacts and click the icon Send kudos:
There is an option to set custom Kudos icons. Please, contact Technical Support for details.
When clicking the icon, a modal window opens where you need to enter the kudos text, select a category (if required), and click the Send button:
Receiving kudos
After the user sends a kudos message, the recipient will receive an email or other connected communication channel message (more in Notification sendind channels) by template Kudos - The new kudos.
Also, all kudos are displayed in the Notifications bar next to the profile of the user:
When clicking on the message text or the “All notifications” button, the Notifications page opens. On the Kudos tab, you can view all received kudos, including the kudos text, the sender’s full name, the kudos category, and the date it was sent.
Clicking on a particular kudos takes you to the sender's card on the contact page.
Kudos moderation
For the administrator (the role with the "manage kudos" permission), the Contacts page displays an icon to go to the table with all sent kudos over the entire time.
The table displays data with the following information:
(1) – kudos recipient;
(2) – kudos text;
(3) – kudos category;
(4) – sender;
(5) – kudos sending date.
Search and filtering are available for all table columns. To reset all filters, click the Reset filter button (6).
(7) – kudos category settings;
(8) – export to Excel.
Kudos Categories
An administrator can create kudos categories linked to corporate values.
Creating categories helps during performance evaluations — a manager can see not only the number of kudos received, but also the specific qualities an employee is appreciated for by colleagues (for example, being a great team player).
To add kudos categories, click the Kudos settings button on the Kudos page.
To create a new category, click the Add category (1) button , enter the name in the field (2) that appears , and click Save (3).
To change the name of an existing category, click the Edit (5) button.
To delete a category, click the Remove (4) button .
