Empuls personalizes each employee’s newsfeed, alerts, and colleague lists automatically using organizational attributes—such as department, location, or business unit—based on rules defined by administrators, without requiring employees to manually configure their own lists.
How Newsfeed Filtering Works in Empuls
Empuls filters each employee’s newsfeed and notifications based on their position within the organizational structure. Rather than surfacing every update from every employee company-wide, Empuls presents the activity most relevant to each individual—reducing noise and keeping engagement focused. The filtering logic draws on org-level attributes configured in the system: department, location, business unit, or any combination of these. An employee in the London engineering team sees updates and recognition posts from colleagues sharing those same attributes, creating a contextually relevant experience from the moment they log in.Admin-Controlled Personalization Rules
Administrators define the personalization rules that determine which colleagues appear in a given employee’s lists. Through the Empuls admin console, HR teams set the criteria—department hierarchies, regional groupings, or custom business unit tags—that drive the auto-generated colleague lists. These rules sync directly with data in connected HR systems. Organizations using Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox can push employee attributes into Empuls so that newsfeed filters stay current whenever org changes occur. New hires, lateral transfers, and restructures are reflected in colleague lists automatically, without any manual intervention from HR teams.Automatically Generated Lists — and Their Boundaries
Empuls generates colleague lists automatically based on the rules administrators configure. Employees do not need to build their own lists, and they also cannot add or remove colleagues from these preconfigured groupings. This design keeps personalization consistent across the organization and ensures the lists remain aligned with the official org structure at all times. For example, a multinational company with separate divisions across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific can configure region-based and division-based rules independently. Employees in each division see a focused view of recognition and updates from their direct peers, while company-wide announcements still reach everyone.Extending Personalization into Collaboration Tools
When Xoxoday Empuls is connected to Microsoft Teams or Slack, the same personalization rules govern which notifications employees receive inside those environments. Recognition alerts, milestone updates, and newsfeed highlights are delivered in the right channel to the right people—filtered by the same org-structure logic that powers the in-app experience. Empuls holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, so the organizational data underpinning these personalization rules is governed by enterprise-grade security and access controls throughout.
