Empuls maintains dedicated leaderboards for health and wellness achievements, giving employees a separate, focused ranking for fitness participation that is fully independent of peer recognition scores.
Empuls tracks health and wellness achievements in their own dedicated leaderboard, distinct from peer recognition rankings. This means employees competing in a company-wide step challenge or a monthly workout goal see a clear, focused view of their wellness standing — without it being diluted by points earned through shoutouts, spot awards, or work anniversaries.
Why separate wellness leaderboards matter
When fitness activity is mixed into a general recognition feed, participation tends to drop after the initial launch. Employees who are active in wellness programs but less visible in peer-to-peer recognition feel their effort goes unnoticed. Empuls solves this by giving health initiatives their own competitive space, where the scoreboard reflects only wellness effort.
Separate rankings also let People teams run targeted campaigns. A monthly hydration challenge, a quarterly step count competition, or a team-based yoga participation drive can each have its own leaderboard — updated in real time — without cluttering the primary recognition experience.
What Empuls tracks on wellness leaderboards
Empuls wellness leaderboards can reflect a range of activities, including step counts, fitness challenge completions, workout participation, and other health program milestones. Rankings are visible to participants and can be scoped to teams, departments, or the entire organisation, giving managers flexibility in how competition is structured.
Integration with existing tools and HR systems
For organisations already running wellness programs through Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, Empuls integrates with these systems to surface participation data directly on the wellness leaderboard — no manual input required. Employees using Slack or Microsoft Teams receive real-time leaderboard notifications and nudges in the tools they already use, keeping momentum high without requiring a separate login.
For example, when a company runs a 30-day step challenge through Empuls, employees connected via Microsoft Teams receive automated weekly leaderboard updates in their channel. Participants see how they rank against colleagues within their department or across the company, and top performers receive recognition notifications automatically — all without HR intervention mid-campaign.
Security and data handling
Wellness participation data in Empuls is protected under the same enterprise-grade standards that cover the full product. Empuls is certified under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, ensuring that individual health metrics and activity records are stored and processed in compliance with enterprise security requirements.
Building a culture of wellbeing, not just a campaign
The combination of real-time rankings, integrations with Slack and Teams, and the clear separation of wellness performance from general recognition creates an environment where healthy habits feel consistently rewarding. Empuls wellness leaderboards give organisations a structured, transparent, and motivating way to build sustained wellbeing engagement — not just a one-time initiative that fades after the first month.
