Culture Amp vs. Kudos®

Culture Amp is a great tool for employee surveys, and has been able to scale with us for 5+ years. It's customizable and helps provide rich data on how employees are feeling so that we can continue to use that feedback to improving our company culture quarter over quarter.

• For some reason, you need to sign in every time you reopen the browser
• It would be nice to have a notebook section where I can follow up on the courses I'm undergoing and the tools I'm learning, and to be able to share that progress with colleagues and on social media
• If it incorporates all the organization, Culture Amp could offer a culture map so strategic improvements can be made for the organization

I've used other products like IBM Kenexa as well as about 10 different engagement surveys. I've also used things like SurveyMonkey and Microsoft Forms and Culture Amp for companies that want to make decisions using better data. I would say Culture Amp was far and away better. Culture Amp stacks up and blows the competition away with the level of data you can dig into without being able to see what individuals set.

Generally, Kudos is super user friendly and anyone can use it even with little or no knowledge of computers. The user interface is fun, interesting with lots of emojis that can be customized to a user's emotions at a time. The redeeming of kudos and the various gifts and reward schemes all bring about lots of interest and fascination to working, especially when it's remote working.

• Much easier, faster process for performance evaluations
• Feedback from our first engagement survey informed some initiatives that have fostered a more positive, inclusive culture at our company.
• Feedback from our COVID survey informed initiatives that helped keep our staff more comfortable and increased their trust in our leadership.

• It creates excitement and positive engagement within the staff creating a lively environment.
• It's easy to track the highest receivers and at the end of the year, these receivers are sieved and awarded accordingly.
• Some employees might abuse the system and reward just for the sake of rewarding to get points.
• Reward redemptions are not instant which creates a little demotivation to shine on the spot all the time.
