Xoxoday Empuls provides award value guidance directly within the Microsoft Teams interface, helping employees select meaningful recognition amounts aligned with your organisation’s reward strategy.
How Award Value Guidance Works in Microsoft Teams
When a user initiates a recognition or reward action through the Xoxoday Empuls Teams app, the interface immediately displays the information needed to make a confident decision. This includes the sender’s current point balance, the available award categories configured by the HR or admin team, and suggested values appropriate for peer-to-peer or team-level recognition. This guidance is not generic. Xoxoday Empuls pulls from the reward policy your organisation has defined — so if your programme distinguishes between a spot award, a milestone bonus, or a team achievement grant, those distinctions are reflected in the guidance shown to each user in real time.Keeping Recognition Consistent Across Teams
One of the most common challenges in scaling an employee recognition programme is value drift — where different managers or departments start awarding wildly different point amounts for comparable contributions. By embedding guidance directly into the Microsoft Teams workflow, Xoxoday Empuls helps standardise how recognition is given without requiring employees to memorise a policy. For example, a sales team member recognising a cross-functional partner for closing a deal can see at a glance that peer recognition typically falls within a certain range, and select an amount that reflects organisational norms. This consistency reinforces fairness and makes the overall programme more credible.Staying in the Flow of Work
Xoxoday Empuls is designed so that recognition happens where work happens. Rather than redirecting employees to a standalone portal, the Teams app lets users search for colleagues, review award guidance, compose a recognition message, and send the reward — all without leaving the Teams environment. Point balances update in real time, so there is no risk of accidentally exceeding an allocated budget. A step-by-step video walkthrough demonstrating the full award selection experience, including how point balances and category guidance appear during the recognition flow, is available at the Xoxoday Empuls MS Teams App guide. For organisations already using Microsoft Teams as their primary collaboration layer, this integration means Xoxoday Empuls fits into existing daily habits rather than requiring employees to build new ones. HR teams benefit from higher programme adoption; employees benefit from a recognition experience that feels natural and low-friction.Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — MS Teams Integration
