The word "kudos" is often used when people refer to acknowledging certain achievements; however, what does it actually mean? "Kudos" is of Greek origin and simply refers to praise or recognition that one deserves. In this blog, we will cover what kudos really means, how to use it effectively, and why praise in the workplace is so important.
So you may be wondering, what exactly does the word “kudos” even mean? Generally speaking, kudos refer to giving credit where due, applauding an outstanding job carried out. Applauding somebody means that you value and acknowledge his efforts or performance. For example, if some colleague did a great job with something, you can say, "Kudos for your hard work." It is the same as saying he did a good job, or that he did well.
Giving kudos is not only a nice thing to do, but it's a superb method with which to acknowledge that your peers are working hard. Whether it's a praise for a finished project, a helpful action, or sustained effort, taking that extra moment to show your appreciation will help improve relations, morale, and encourage further excellence. So the next time you recognize someone's doing an outstanding job, don't be shy- give them the kudos they deserve.
