Xoxoday Empuls supports fully configurable eligibility rules based on tenure, role, grade, department, or performance criteria, giving admins precise control over who can nominate, receive, or redeem awards at any level of the organisation.
Recognition programs that lack eligibility controls often lead to inconsistency, policy gaps, and governance concerns. Xoxoday Empuls addresses this with a flexible eligibility engine that lets administrators define precisely who participates in each award program — and under what conditions. Admins can set eligibility criteria based on a wide range of employee attributes: tenure (for example, must have completed six months in the organisation), job role, grade, department, or performance rating. These parameters can be applied independently or in combination, so a program can target mid-level managers in the sales department who have been with the organisation for at least one year. Eligibility rules in Xoxoday Empuls operate at three distinct levels. At the global level, a rule applies across the entire organisation. At the regional level, it can be scoped to a geography or business unit. At the program level, each individual award carries its own set of conditions. This layered approach gives HR and reward teams the flexibility to run enterprise-wide programs alongside highly targeted, local initiatives simultaneously. Xoxoday Empuls syncs employee data directly from HRIS platforms such as Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and Darwinbox. Tenure, grade, and role attributes used in eligibility rules stay automatically up to date as your workforce changes, with no manual intervention required. When an employee is promoted or transferred, their eligibility status updates accordingly across all active programs. Beyond defining who qualifies to receive recognition, Xoxoday Empuls also lets admins configure eligibility on the nomination side. In peer recognition scenarios, rules can specify which employees are permitted to nominate others — useful for preventing self-nomination or restricting cross-department nominations where governance requires it. Combined with multi-level approval workflows, this gives organisations end-to-end control over how recognition is initiated, approved, and completed. This level of configurability is especially valuable for organisations that must enforce governance guardrails at scale. A global rollout might restrict nomination rights to line managers only, while a regional program might require performance ratings above a defined threshold before an employee can redeem an award. These controls ensure recognition remains fair, consistent, and aligned with organisational policy — regardless of headcount or geography. Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — General
