Empuls supports both a tiles-based and a social feed homepage layout, giving HR and admin teams full control over how employees first experience the intranet.
Tiles-Based Layout
The tiles layout organizes the homepage into clearly defined sections, each representing a core product area such as recognition, rewards, surveys, and perks. This structured approach suits organizations that want employees to move quickly between features without scrolling through a continuous stream. It mirrors the familiar dashboard model of enterprise tools like Workday and SAP SuccessFactors, lowering the learning curve for employees already accustomed to structured navigation.Social Feed Layout
The social feed layout brings real-time activity to the forefront — recognition shoutouts, birthday and work anniversary celebrations, team announcements, and engagement updates appear in a continuous chronological stream. This layout reflects the social experience employees associate with everyday consumer apps, which drives higher organic interaction without requiring behavioral change. For companies that have integrated Empuls with Slack or Microsoft Teams, the social feed creates a consistent engagement layer across both the native Empuls app and existing collaboration tools.Choosing the Right Layout for Your Organization
The right layout depends on how your workforce communicates and where engagement effort is needed. A distributed team that lives in Microsoft Teams often benefits from the social feed layout, which reinforces Empuls as an active social layer rather than a standalone tool employees have to seek out. A company rolling out a structured recognition program for the first time may prefer the tiles layout so employees always know exactly where to nominate a peer, complete a survey, or redeem a reward. Admins can switch between layouts at any time without downtime or data loss. Empuls stores all recognition, engagement, and reward data independently of the homepage configuration, so changing the layout is entirely non-destructive to existing content or history.Internal Branding and Adoption
Both layout types support Empuls’s white-labeling capabilities, meaning you can apply your company logo, color palette, and custom domain regardless of which layout you choose. This makes Empuls feel like a native part of your organization’s digital workplace rather than a third-party tool, which consistently improves adoption rates during rollout. Empuls is certified under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, so all homepage customization is delivered without compromise to security or data governance standards.
