Join the Apex Social Kudos Movement and Spread the Joy!
Everyone wants to be happy, but sometimes it’s not that easy. Harvard University published about the connection between gratitude and happiness. “In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.”
The Power of Appreciation & Recognition
A grateful person is a happy person.
Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is cultivated, we experience an increase in our „sympathetic joy,“ our happiness at another’s happiness.
We are excited to invite you to learn about our Apex Kudos Recognition Platform!
What is Kudos? Kudos® – is an employee & team recognition system that makes it easier than ever to say, “thank you”.
The simple-to-use social recognition app* can help you send a special message to a fellow Apex Care Professional or Apex Team Member to show appreciation or recognize them for something they did well.
At Apex Social, we live & demonstrate our Core Competencies daily. At work and in our personal life. With Kudos, you can recognize others AND be recognized by others, based on our 5 Core Competencies and more.
Apex Social’s Core Competencies are:
I LIVE IN A GROWTH MINDSET: Consistently demonstrates willingness to learn, a commitment to continuous improvement, and a mentality of failing forward.
I HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND PRACTICE GRATITUDE: Focuses on positivity and looks for the good in any situation. Regularly practices gratitude both personally and with colleagues.
I ALWAYS GO THE EXTRA MILE: Strives to exceed expectations and does what it takes to get the job done even if it’s outside of their job description.
I BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS: Collaborative team player who shows empathy and respect. Looks for the best in others and recognizes the value in individuals.
I PROACTIVELY PRESENT CREATIVE SOLUTIONS AND IDEAS: Solutions-oriented instead of problem focused. Regularly contributes innovative or new ideas to improve solutions, processes and/or service.
The best way to get your colleagues excited and to show them how much they’re valued by you is to be generous with the recognition you send them! Give Kudos to that special someone who accompanied you on a recent road trip or another person who helped you find a volunteering option or file those taxes 🙂
Be creative!
