# Can employees submit nominations and approvals on mobile?

> Yes — Xoxoday Empuls iOS and Android apps support the complete nomination and approval workflow, enabling recognition anytime, anywhere.

<Note>
  Xoxoday Empuls iOS and Android applications support the full nomination and approval workflow, allowing employees to submit recognitions and managers to approve or reject nominations in real time from any mobile device.
</Note>

Xoxoday Empuls delivers a fully capable mobile experience through native iOS and Android applications that mirror the recognition and approval functionality available on the web. Employees and managers are not required to be at a desktop to participate in, action, or complete any step of the recognition process.

## Submitting Nominations from Your Phone

When an employee wants to nominate a colleague, they open the Xoxoday Empuls mobile app, select the recipient, and compose a recognition message in a few taps. Supporting evidence — documents, images, or other attachments — can be added directly from the device's photo library or file storage. Employees can also tag relevant core values during submission, ensuring every nomination stays aligned with your organisation's cultural priorities.

## Manager Approvals Without a Desk

Managers receive push notifications the moment a nomination enters their queue. The mobile approval interface in Xoxoday Empuls presents the same decision options available on the web: approve, reject, or return the nomination with written feedback. This combination of real-time alerting and immediate action capability significantly shortens approval cycles, which is especially valuable for distributed teams, field-based employees, or managers who travel frequently.

Consider a regional sales manager attending an off-site conference. A direct report closes a significant deal while the manager is in back-to-back sessions. Xoxoday Empuls sends a push notification to the manager's phone; in under a minute, the manager reviews the nomination, adds an approval comment, and confirms. The employee receives recognition the same day — no one has to wait for a return to the office.

## A Broader Mobile Engagement Experience

Xoxoday Empuls extends the mobile experience well beyond nominations. Employees can browse and redeem points from the rewards catalogue, respond to pulse surveys, and engage with the social recognition feed — all within the same application. For organisations that have connected Xoxoday Empuls with collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams or Slack, recognition activity initiated on mobile surfaces across those channels automatically, keeping engagement visible regardless of where work happens.

## Security on Mobile

The Xoxoday Empuls mobile applications are built on the same infrastructure that underpins the broader platform, maintaining compliance with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards. Data transmitted between mobile devices and Xoxoday Empuls servers is encrypted in transit and at rest. Organisations can enable full mobile workflows for their workforce without introducing additional security exposure.

The result is a recognition programme that moves at the pace of modern work — no desktop required, no recognition delayed.
