Empuls supports video messages for employee recognition, allowing users to record or upload videos on desktop and mobile devices, attach them to digital awards, and surface them on the award news feed—backed by AWS infrastructure and certified under ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR.
Empuls brings video messaging into the recognition workflow, letting managers and peers attach personal video clips to digital awards. Rather than a generic text note, a short video from a team lead makes recognition feel human and memorable in a way that text alone cannot replicate. Employees record videos directly within Empuls or upload pre-recorded clips—no third-party tools and no complex integrations required. This works on both desktop and mobile devices, so a manager in the field can send a recognition video from a smartphone just as easily as from a laptop. Once attached to an award, the video appears on the award news feed, making recognition visible across the organization in real time. For teams that rely on Slack or Microsoft Teams as their daily communication hub, Empuls recognition posts—including video-attached awards—can surface directly in those channels. Employees see and celebrate recognitions without switching apps, keeping engagement where work already happens. Security and Infrastructure All video content in Empuls is stored on AWS cloud infrastructure and is accessible only to authenticated users logged into the platform. Empuls applies enterprise-grade encryption at rest and in transit, aligned with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR standards. Enterprises running HR operations through SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, or Darwinbox can adopt video recognition without creating compliance gaps or requiring separate data processing agreements. Storage and Bandwidth Empuls does not publish fixed storage or bandwidth caps for video usage. Any costs related to video storage or bandwidth are part of the commercial arrangement negotiated with the Xoxoday Sales team. Organizations with high-volume recognition programs or specific data residency requirements should address these details during the contract stage. A Practical Use Case A global product team onboarding new hires through Darwinbox can use Empuls to let engineering leads send personalized video welcome awards as part of a Day 1 recognition workflow. The new hire sees the video on their award notification immediately—creating a sense of belonging that a text-only award cannot replicate—and the moment is shared on the social feed for the entire team to celebrate.
