We Turned the Monday Blues 😓 into Monday Blues 🎶
Yes — we really do use our own platform at Kudos, and one of our favorite examples is our Monday Mixtape Space. This little ritual adds some extra joy, personality, and community to the start of every week!
Every Monday, people share their song of the week in the Space, and we build a playlist from it for the whole team.
If you haven’t explored Kudos Spaces yet, we created a bundle of Spaces banners you can use to help you get started!
🔐 Smarter Admin Role Structure
Admin teams need more targeted, flexible tools to manage access and permissions without creating unnecessary complexity for everyday users.
We’ve expanded the available admin roles to provide more granular access control. The updated structure includes:
- Global Admin: Full system access (all current admins receive this by default)
- Feature Admin: Targeted access to specific areas (Budget, User Management, or Integrations)
- Employee: The default role for end users
This is especially valuable for organizations that want to give HR business partners or team leads targeted ownership over specific platform areas without granting full admin access.
What Else is New in Kudos: Your Quarterly Product Update
This quarter, we rolled up some exciting updates:
- ✨ A New Way to Connect: Spaces
- 🏆 Richer, More Meaningful Recognition
- 📋 Clearer, More Actionable Reporting
- 🛠️ Flexible, Reliable User Provisioning
- 📱 A Better Mobile Experience
Your Feedback in Action: May Upgrades
This month’s updates are all about giving Kudos Admins more control while making the platform easier to navigate for employees.
Private Teams
Teams can now be marked as Private, allowing Admins to continue using them for reporting and segmentation while keeping them hidden from employees in their day-to-day experience. This helps keep the platform cleaner and more streamlined without losing important admin functionality.
Smarter HRIS provisioning tools
We’ve introduced several updates to improve HRIS management, including:
- New Auto-invite rules to control which employee records are invited to the platform
- A new Sync History view with 30 days of sync activity and downloadable error logs
- Expanded employee record filters and updates to integration setup workflows for greater flexibility and visibility
Updated 'All Reports’ experience
The redesigned All Reports landing page now provides previews of report content, helping Admins quickly identify the reports and data they’re looking for.
As always, thank you for your feedback; it continues to shape the improvements we make across Kudos.
Kudos Banners

Change Fatigue
The Common Signs of Change Fatigue (and What HR Can Do)
Did you know Glassdoor named “fatigue” as its word of the year in 2025? Why? Because the term surged by 41% across its platform.
If you've been in HR for the last five years, you probably read that and thought: no kidding.
Let's talk about change fatigue — the workplace epidemic nobody's putting on their Q3 roadmap.
Here’s what it looks like in your teams:
- They’re negative or on edge about any new initiative.
- There’s zero emotion towards anything; they don’t care anymore.
- Deadlines have been missed and overall performance has tanked.
- An increase in sick days and absenteeism. They’ve disappeared.
- They no longer work well with others, collaboration is non-existent.
Your employees are running on empty, and so are you. Change is relentless, but the human capacity isn't.
If you’re dealing with this right now — we hear you, and we see you.
People People: The Human Side of HR
Our People People series is where we chat with people people (like you!) and share the human side of HR with stories that stick and lessons that lead.
Hit “reply” or you can book a time with Taryn and share your story – big wins, bold ideas, or lessons learned the hard way. Your experience might just be the spark someone else needs. ✨
