Kodo is a B2B SaaS product that makes company initiatives easy, fun, and effective for the modern workplace.
Feature Concepts:
Empower the masses! The Kōdō Hub gives your workforce a single point of entry to learn about initiatives, activities, and important company resources. Kōdō Hub is where you can create activities and opportunities for your workforce to engage with key initiatives and push company, as well as personal, progress forward.
Company culture out of the box. Not sure where to start? Kodo's curated and sponsored activities allow small teams to create initiatives and immediately become active.
