What is Kudos?
Kudos is a way for team members to share recognition, using Deputy Messaging. The message appears in the group chat, where others can see it, react with emojis, and leave comments.
Team members can use Kudos to acknowledge contributions like completing a project, helping a teammate, or solving a problem.
Managers can use Kudos as a tool to increase team engagement and morale.
