Xoxoday Empuls supports an out-of-the-box integration with Workday that automatically syncs employee data—including name, email, department, designation, location, and reporting structure—so recognition and incentive programmes always reflect your organisation’s current structure.
Xoxoday Empuls connects with Workday through two integration methods: API-based sync for real-time or scheduled data exchange, and SFTP-based sync for organisations that prefer file-based transfers. Both approaches eliminate manual data entry and keep employee records accurate across engagement and incentive programmes.

How employee data flows from Workday

When Workday is connected, Xoxoday Empuls pulls core employee fields—name, email address, department, designation, location, and reporting hierarchy—directly into the platform. These fields drive eligibility rules, recognition visibility, and reward catalogue access, so the data flowing in from Workday is central to how Xoxoday Empuls operates day to day. Syncs run on a scheduled basis, meaning any change made in Workday propagates automatically to Xoxoday Empuls without manual intervention.

Lifecycle events handled automatically

New joiners added to Workday are provisioned in Xoxoday Empuls and granted access to recognition programmes from day one. When an employee leaves the organisation and is deactivated in Workday, Xoxoday Empuls deactivates them as well—preventing further incentive calculations or reward eligibility and keeping budget controls intact. Role and department changes are handled with equal consistency. If an employee moves to a new team or takes on a different designation in Workday, Xoxoday Empuls updates their profile on the next sync, adjusting eligibility for relevant recognition programmes and commission structures without any administrative effort.

A practical example

Consider an organisation running a quarterly recognition cycle. When the HR team restructures a department in Workday mid-quarter, Xoxoday Empuls picks up those changes automatically on the next sync. Managers see accurate team rosters, employees appear under the correct department for peer nominations, and reward budgets are allocated based on current headcount—not last month’s snapshot. The recognition programme stays aligned with organisational reality, with no risk of rewarding or incentivising employees in the wrong role or team.
