KUDOS: AT OVHCLOUD, RECOGNITION TAKES TANGIBLE FORMS

At OVHcloud, recognition is more than just words. It is reflected in concrete initiatives designed to value those who build the company over the long term.

This is the ambition behind the Kudos Program: a unique global recognition initiative that rewards seniority while offering every employee true freedom in how they benefit from it.

Because a career within a company is not just a number of years. It tells a story of individual commitment, daily contribution, milestones reached, and a shared collective adventure.

RECOGNITION THAT OFFERS TRUE FREEDOM OF CHOICE

One of the core strengths of Kudos is the flexibility it offers beneficiaries. Regardless of their location in the world, employees can choose one or several options to use their kudos:

• a payment
• a gift card
• an investment in shares
• a donation to a non-profit organization

The principle is not to impose a standardized reward, but to allow everyone to choose what makes the most sense for them. While some may prefer a boost in income, others might choose gift cards, investment or giving back through a donation. The program acknowledges the diversity of expectations, situations, and priorities.

This is what makes it particularly fair: recognition exists, but it is not forced into a single mold.

A REFLECTION OF THE OVHCLOUD CULTURE

Kudos is not an isolated perk. It is part of a broader philosophy of recognition at OVHcloud.

The program does not just highlight seniority in an administrative sense: it celebrates contribution over time. It honors the ideas brought forward, the energy invested, the perseverance, and the fact of growing with the company while continuing to make a difference every day.

The choice of the name « Kudos » is intentional. Derived from the Greek [ κύδος / kýdos ], used to express acclaim or praise for a remarkable achievement, it perfectly reflects the spirit of the program: making what matters visible and explicitly thanking those who move the company forward.

By offering multiple uses, the program avoids a « one-size-fits-all » approach to recognition. It acknowledges that career paths are different, and so are expectations.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FUTURE TALENT

For a talent considering joining OVHcloud, Kudos sends a clear signal.

It demonstrates that recognition is thought of as more than just a speech or a one-off gesture. It is part of a structured framework, already deployed, and designed to leave a real margin of choice to employees.

Concretely, this means joining a company where:

• Long-term commitment is recognized
• Recognition schemes are established and transparent
• Everyone can benefit from a tangible and flexible program based on seniority and local regulations
• Recognition can take different forms according to individual preferences

Kudos does not claim to tell the whole story of the employee experience at OVHcloud. But it proves one essential thing: here, recognition is not an afterthought or mere rhetoric. It is part of our DNA.

RECOGNIZING WITH CLARITY AND PURPOSE

In a growing technology company, celebrating career paths matters.
Not just to say thank you , but to state clearly that time, commitment, and contribution have value.

With Kudos, OVHcloud makes this choice in a simple and assertive way: transforming recognition into a concrete, readable, and useful system.
