Sneak Peek: New Incentives Feature Coming to Kudos Next Gen!
In our last newsletter, we shared a preview of the exciting updates coming with the next generation of the Kudos platform, including a new, simpler admin experience, enhanced nominations, and our all-new Incentives feature.
Let’s take a closer look at that Incentives feature and how it’s designed to help your team spark participation and recognize effort in new ways.
Here’s what you can expect:
- ⭐️ Engagement-Based Rewards: Create campaigns tied to key initiatives like training, challenges, or compliance with custom criteria and reward options.
- ⭐ Claimable Incentives: Employees can view available incentives and submit proof of completion directly in the Kudos platform.
- ⭐️️ Automated Approvals: Approvers can validate submissions and trigger point rewards instantly—no spreadsheets, no manual tracking.
- ⭐️️️ Visibility & Tracking: See who’s claimed what, track campaign progress, and celebrate success along the way.
Kudos Next Gen is launching later this year, and this is just one of many powerful new tools on the way. Want early access or a live preview? Reach out to your Client Success Manager or support@kudos.com — we’d love to show you what’s coming.

Tip of the Month
Reminder: May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month is a vital reminder that mental well-being is just as important as physical health, especially in the workplace. When employees feel supported, seen, and safe to speak up, they’re more engaged, productive, and loyal.
But when mental health is ignored, the costs add up fast. Prioritizing mental health at work isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a smart business decision. Here are some resources to help:
- Kudos Banners: These Mental Health Awareness Month banners can be displayed in your Kudos platform as a reminder for your teams.
