Kudos & Rewards
Recognize a colleague, earn points when they recognize you, spend them on real rewards.
Your two point balances
The cards at the top of the Recognitions page show them side by side. Points Received is what colleagues have given you — it never expires, and it's what you spend on rewards. Available Points is your budget for giving — it resets every month, so use it or lose it.
Giving kudos
- On the Recognitions page, pick the person.
- Tag a company value or two — the hashtags that say why this deserved a shout.
- Attach points if you can give them (the form shows your per-kudos limit).
- Write the message — 140 characters, so make it count — and hit Give Kudos!
Your kudos appears on the company feed, where colleagues can like and comment. Some companies review kudos first — if yours does, it shows as pending until approved, and you'll be notified either way.
Claiming rewards
The Rewards page shows the catalog with each reward's points price and a progress bar against your balance. When you're eligible, hit Claim — your points are deducted right away, the team that fulfills rewards is notified, and the claim lands in My Rewards with its date. Claims are final, so spend deliberately: limited-stock rewards show how many are left.
Common questions
Why can't I attach points to my kudos?
Either your monthly giving budget is used up, or your company limits point-giving to managers. The kudos still posts — recognition without points is still recognition.
My giving points disappeared at month end.
By design — the giving budget resets monthly and doesn't roll over. Your earned Points Received are untouched.
When do I get my claimed reward?
The system notifies the admins the moment you claim; the physical handover follows your company's process. If it's been a while, your HR team can see the claim on their side.
