How to Give Kudos on LinkedIn

Use this interactive demo to learn how to publicly recognize a colleague with Kudos on LinkedIn.

Quick summary

LinkedIn's Kudos feature lets you publicly celebrate a connection's achievement directly from your feed using an animated GIF post. This step-by-step walkthrough covers every click — from opening the post creation box to hitting Publish.


Steps

  1. On your dashboard, go to the post creation box and click 'Start a post'.
  2. Click the 'ribbon' icon at the bottom of the creation box to open the Kudos tool.
  3. Select your Kudos event from the available options.
  4. Choose your preferred GIF background for the Kudos post.
  5. Tag or mention the person you want to give kudos to.
  6. Click the 'Next' button to proceed to the final review screen.
  7. Modify any final details and click 'Post' to publish your Kudos.

📌 Why this matters

LinkedIn's Kudos feature is a built-in way to publicly recognize colleagues, teammates, or connections for specific achievements directly in the LinkedIn feed. Sending Kudos strengthens professional relationships and boosts the recipient's visibility on the platform. Because Kudos posts include animated GIF backgrounds and direct mentions, they attract higher engagement than plain text posts. For teams focused on employee recognition and professional networking, Kudos is a fast, visual, and impactful tool.
