There are Employee Recognition modules built into HR Management software, standalone SaaS products and the like some have tangible rewards and some assume the recognition to be the reward.Īt PINT, a small gift reward is the preferred recognition, with some added email and chat publicity. Most sizable companies have some form of Employee Recognition Program in place, though format and participation vary.
If you are a member of a caring organization, this program likely sounds familiar. This past year, it taken home this year by a fortunate Client Services Manager (congrats, Ashwini). With only 12 drawings per year, there are many who do not “win” kudos.īut there’s a last chance kudos! At our end-of-year holiday bash, the annual accumulation goes into another drawing for a Grand Prize. These small gestures are meant remind teammates that their collaboration and support is appreciated.Īt the end of the month, all the slips go in a jar, and the lucky one that’s plucked wins the bearer a little gift. On the slips they jot thanks, practice sketches and create sticker collages.
PINT’s method is the awarding and circulating of Kudos, by which co-workers make it rain (in a workplace-appropriate fashion) little slips of paper over each others’ desks. While praise from the company leadership is invaluable, it’s important for any organization to encourage colleagues to congratulate and reward each other. On a monthly basis, we here at PINT take time to recognize all the ways our team members help each other out.
It’s about employee recognitionīut the reason we’re talking about kudos on the PINT blog has to do with employee recognition. In fact, my earliest childhood memory of it was as the name of a pseudo-healthy snack weakly offered up as a substitute for a Snickers, which I guess fooled a few people until they started adding M&Ms to the mix. I went straight to the source for the above definition because, despite an English degree and more books than I have shelf space for at home, I was clueless as to the origin of the word. Cool story, bro… but what does kudos have to do with PINT and web development? The word “kudos” comes from ancient Greece and means “glory.” And even though there is an S at the end of the word, kudos is not a plural.
