Xoxoday Empuls gives every employee granular privacy controls over how their recognitions and milestone celebrations — including birthdays and work anniversaries — are shared on the social feed or delivered as private direct messages.

​
Recognition That Respects Personal Preferences

Xoxoday Empuls understands that not every employee wants their personal milestones broadcast to the entire organisation. Privacy settings are placed directly in the hands of the individual, rather than defaulting to a single, organisation-wide visibility rule that may not suit everyone. Within their personal profile settings, employees can decide whether recognitions tied to birthdays, work anniversaries, or other life events appear on the public social feed or remain private. They can also choose to receive peer recognitions publicly — where colleagues can comment and react — or quietly, via a direct message visible only to them.

​
How the Settings Are Applied Automatically

These preferences are not merely stored — they are actively enforced at the point of delivery. When Xoxoday Empuls automatically triggers a milestone celebration (for example, a five-year work anniversary notification surfaced through a Slack or Microsoft Teams integration), the platform checks the employee’s saved preferences before publishing anything. If the employee has opted for private delivery, the recognition is routed as a direct message rather than a public post, with no manual intervention required from HR or IT administrators. Consider an employee who values their privacy: they may still want their manager to acknowledge a milestone, but prefer not to receive a wave of public congratulations on the company feed. Xoxoday Empuls supports exactly this scenario out of the box, making inclusive recognition the default rather than the exception.

​
An Inclusive Approach to Recognition Culture

Giving individuals agency over their own visibility is central to how Xoxoday Empuls builds an inclusive recognition culture. Some employees thrive on public acknowledgement; others find it uncomfortable. By making privacy controls self-serve, Xoxoday Empuls ensures recognition programmes strengthen engagement rather than inadvertently create stress for more introverted team members. This approach also aligns with modern data privacy expectations. Xoxoday Empuls is built on a security-first foundation, holding compliance certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Employee preferences are stored securely and applied consistently across all automated recognition workflows, including integrations with HRIS platforms such as Darwinbox, SAP SuccessFactors, and Workday that may supply milestone trigger data.

​
Updating Preferences at Any Time

Employees can update their recognition privacy settings at any time from their personal Xoxoday Empuls profile, and changes take effect immediately. An employee who previously opted into public recognition can switch to private delivery ahead of an upcoming anniversary without contacting HR or raising a support ticket. Administrators retain access to overall engagement metrics without visibility into the content of private recognitions, keeping the programme transparent at an organisational level while protecting individual privacy at the personal level.
