Send kudos
A kudos is a short, specific thank-you tied to one of your company’s values.
Send one
Section titled “Send one”- Choose Send kudos, or type
/kudoskyin Slack orkudosto the Teams bot. - Pick a colleague.
- Pick a category. These are your company’s values, such as Teamwork or Great work.
- Write what they did and why it mattered. Specific beats generic. Your company may require a message.
- Send.
Changed your mind? You have a few seconds to undo right after sending.
Your colleague is notified, the kudos appears on the board, and you both earn points. By default the recipient gets 5 points and you get 1; your company can change this.
Send anonymously
Section titled “Send anonymously”Turn on Send anonymously and the recipient won’t see your name or photo. You get a limited number of anonymous kudos per period, 1 by default. The form shows how many you have left. Admins can reveal an anonymous sender only for a serious safety reason; see Roles & privacy.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”To keep kudos meaningful, your company sets limits. The defaults are:
| Limit | Default |
|---|---|
| Kudos per day | 3 |
| Kudos to the same person per day | 1 |
| Wait between two kudos | 1 minute |
Your company may also let you send kudos only within your team (plus admins). If you hit a limit, the app tells you.
