On every shift

Recognition at the speed of a shift.

Busy teams have no time for forms. A thank-you takes about 30 seconds and reaches the person who earned it.

  • Recognise a colleague on your own phone, in about 30 seconds
  • Peer and Manager Stars across your teams
  • Your organisation's values linked to every post
  • A GDPR check flags personal details before anything goes live

Questions

Hospital and hospice questions.

Can CareKudos work in a hospital?

Talk to us about your teams and sites. We will show you what CareKudos does today and how it could fit your organisation, team by team or across a site.

How do you handle information governance?

Every post is checked for personal data, and people are referred to by initials. We are happy to go through your information governance and procurement questions with you.

Does CareKudos replace our existing systems?

No. CareKudos works alongside the systems you already use.

Is AI used?

Only if your organisation switches it on. A person always reviews AI drafts, and your content is never used to train AI models.
