Kudos employee recognition is a simple way of saying "thanks". It's giving Kudos to employees for their hard work and achievements. Kudos are specific, timely recognitions that can be given by anyone in the workplace. Their purpose is to acknowledge an achievement or service performed by an individual or team.
Okay yeah, but Why? I hear you ask... 👂
❤️ Recognition drives fulfilment, which drives productivity
Recognizing effort (of all sizes!) makes your people feel seen and heard. And when people feel seen and heard, their workload feels a bit lighter and their jobs more purposeful! In a culture of kudos, everyone wins. One study showed that happy employees are 12% more productive than their unhappy counterparts. When you support your people, they support you right back.
🖤 Employees now look beyond financial incentives
Money is no longer the sole driver of employee satisfaction.
A company culture where your people feel supported will play a considerable role in keeping them engaged and motivated. This resonates even more for the value-driven Generation Z, who are known to prefer work that’s meaningful and aligns with their values.
💜 Appreciating small victories leads to bigger wins
Giving kudos for smaller milestones will help employees stay motivated for larger goals; this is even more important for new hires! Acknowledging smaller wins can boost team confidence, enthusiasm, and motivation as they work through the bite-sized tasks that pave the way to greater wins.
❤️ Sharing gratitude inspires generosity
It’s not fear that motivates people to work harder, it’s gratitude.
Expressing your thanks generously towards your team will help build rapport and respect. My advice? Become the kind of person you would want to work with. Celebrate your team’s creativity and show them you appreciate their efforts!
Giving kudos at the right time can help lift your team’s mood
A few well-timed words of encouragement can work wonders if your team members are feeling low, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Be on the lookout for moments of doubt or defeat.
Cheering on your people when they need it the most will inspire them to keep going.
💛 Kind words are what we need most right now
We live in a world where employees are in great need of more compassion, kindness, and empathy.
Celebrating your team or colleagues wins, can only be a good thing. In a world where there is more darkness than light, be the guiding force. You never know how a small token of appreciation may make someone's entire week. 😍 💕
