Kudos® vs. TINYpulse

It would be very appropriate to use some of its functionalities when an employee has finished his work and has reported it correctly. In this case, we proceed to rate and mark your work on the platform and then reward him.

Well-suited for companies looking to get better feedback from employees. It's probably perfect for my organization (around 80 employees) because our COO can respond directly to our concerns. It might be less effective for larger organizations, but I can't speak much to that.

Incentivized

• Encourages employees to go above and beyond!
• Encourages our staff to make an effort to support our employees by handing out KUDOS for good deeds or for bright ideas that help innovate the company.
• Helps our leaders make informed decisions on good staff by viewing the distribution of KUDOS to our employees and helps maintain a level of professionalism between the employees.

Incentivized

• Helps increase team camaraderie and rapport by celebrating wins and showing appreciation.
• Helps monitor any team issues by asking (anonymous) questions about company and team dynamics.
• Team members are able to safely provide feedback and make suggestions without concerns of awkwardness or friction.

• I think Kudos could use some UI enhancements as it can be a bit much info at one time
• I believe Kudos could probably do a better job guiding administrators in setting up their organization kudos page/system to maximize its appearance and layout

Incentivized

• Originally, requests for feedback ("360s") were not customizable, and employees didn't feel the pre-written questions were particularly helpful. TINYpulse has since changed this format so we can either use default questions or create our own.

Self explanatory and easy to use. Email notifications help to remind users what they have to do. Very simple and straightforward user interface.

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.

TINYpulse provided the most-competitive pricing of all vendors considered, with the greatest flexibility of use with desktop, mobile app, and operating system. While customer support proposed by others appeared to be closer to "live" or real-time, with closer to the 24/7 kind of environment in which we live/work in today, budget was a driving factor for us.

Easy to deploy, create and add accounts.

• 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.

Incentivized

• We have been able to implement a number of suggestions that our employees have posted on TINYpulse, things that our management may not have thought of but made a positive difference.
• We are able to identify pain points before they become a systemic problem, and can act to correct our shortcomings or adjust procedures to remedy the situation.
• Sending Cheers to employees is a real morale booster for everyone.
