Empuls supports all major modern browsers — Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Opera, and Brave — and recommends using versions updated within the last 3–5 years for a reliable, fully-featured experience.
Browser compatibility is a practical concern for People teams rolling out Empuls across distributed or hybrid workforces. Employees log in from corporate laptops, personal machines, and managed kiosks, often running different browsers. Empuls is built to work across all of them without requiring a specific vendor or additional plugins.

​
Supported Browsers

Empuls works on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Opera, and Brave. On any of these browsers, employees get the complete Empuls experience: recognition feeds, reward redemption, peer nominations, pulse surveys, and manager check-ins all render correctly and perform as expected.

​
Browser Version Policy

Empuls recommends using a browser version released within the last three to five years. Browsers in this window receive active security patches and support the web standards that Empuls relies on for real-time notifications, rich media rendering, and smooth leaderboard animations. Legacy browsers — those older than five years or discontinued by their vendor — are not guaranteed to behave correctly. On out-of-date browsers, users may encounter broken UI components, failed secure API calls, or inconsistent layouts on the recognition wall. IT teams managing corporate devices under strict update policies should ensure that at least one supported, current-version browser is available to employees.

​
Impact on Enterprise Integrations

Browser version does not affect Empuls back-end integrations. If your organisation syncs employee data through Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, those connections run server-to-server and are unaffected by what employees have installed locally. However, SSO flows routed through Microsoft Azure AD or Google Workspace do run through the browser, and outdated browsers are a common cause of redirect timeouts or authentication loops during login. For teams using Slack or Microsoft Teams, the Empuls bot operates inside the native desktop or mobile client rather than a browser window, so browser version requirements apply only when employees access Empuls directly at empuls.io.

​
Security Posture

Xoxoday Empuls is certified under ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Requiring modern, supported browsers is part of that security commitment. Older browsers frequently carry unpatched CVEs that expose session tokens or weaken TLS negotiation. Staying within the recommended version window ensures employees benefit from the latest content security policies and secure cookie handling enforced by Empuls.
