Xoxoday Empuls supports configurable privacy settings for recognition programs, giving administrators full control over whether approved recognitions are posted on the social wall or kept visible only to the intended recipient and approvers.
Xoxoday Empuls gives administrators granular control over recognition visibility at the program level. When setting up or editing a recognition program, admins can choose whether approved recognitions are broadcast on the social wall — where all employees can see and react — or restricted so that only the recipient and relevant approvers have access. This setting applies per program, which means different recognition initiatives within the same organisation can carry different visibility rules. A peer-to-peer shoutout program might be configured to post every approved recognition publicly, fostering a culture of open appreciation across the workforce. A manager-nominated award tied to sensitive performance outcomes, on the other hand, can be set to remain private, ensuring only the recipient is notified without broader disclosure. The social wall in Xoxoday Empuls functions as a company-wide activity feed, surfacing recognitions, milestones, and engagement moments in real time. When privacy is enabled for a program, recognitions approved within that program are filtered out of this feed entirely — they do not appear in aggregate views, team walls, or connected collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams or Slack, keeping visibility strictly controlled end-to-end. Organisations operating in regulated industries or with strict internal communication policies often rely on this capability to remain aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II. An HR team using SAP SuccessFactors or Darwinbox as their core HRIS may sync recognition data with Xoxoday Empuls while ensuring that specific award types — such as those tied to sensitive tenure milestones or recovery programs — are never surfaced to the broader workforce. Administrators can update privacy configurations at any time through the recognition program settings in Xoxoday Empuls. Changes take effect for recognitions approved after the update, so existing records are not retroactively altered. This ensures consistency and auditability, particularly for organisations running recognition cycles aligned to formal performance review calendars. Xoxoday Empuls makes it straightforward to balance celebration with discretion. Public recognitions drive visibility, morale, and shared achievement across the organisation. Private recognitions ensure that individual dignity and confidentiality are respected without reducing the value of formal acknowledgement. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — General
