Empuls: Awards and Recognition Across Hierarchy Levels

Understanding who is recognizing whom—and how often—is essential for People leaders who want to build a recognition culture that scales across management layers. Xoxoday Empuls structures its analytics around four distinct stakeholder roles, ensuring every level of your organization sees the reporting most relevant to their decision-making scope.

​

Executive Summary Dashboards

Senior executives access high-level dashboards that consolidate recognition activity across the entire organization. These dashboards surface key metrics including program adoption rates, engagement levels, and overall program impact. With this consolidated view, C-suite leaders can monitor whether recognition culture is taking hold and make data-driven decisions without needing to drill into individual team data.

​

Team Performance Reports for Managers

Managers—including skip-level managers—view recognition and rewards activity for everyone within their span of control through dedicated team performance reports. These reports highlight top performers, recognition frequency trends, and team engagement indicators over configurable time periods. A skip-level manager can quickly identify which functions or individuals are receiving the most appreciation and pinpoint recognition gaps before they affect retention.

​

Program Adoption Reports for HR Leaders

HR leaders access reports that segment program participation by department, geography, or employee population. This makes it straightforward to identify business units where recognition programs are underutilized or where manager engagement is below target. For organizations running Empuls alongside Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, these adoption reports complement existing HRIS data to give HR a unified view of engagement health.

​

Comprehensive Reporting for Program Administrators

Program administrators access the most granular reporting layer: a full suite covering recognition activity, rewards redemption, nomination statistics, and budget utilization by cost center. Administrators can track how recognition budgets flow across management hierarchies, monitor nomination pipelines, and generate detailed exports. For enterprises operating under compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, Empuls generates the audit-ready data trails that governance teams require. As a practical example, an HR operations team managing a global Empuls deployment can filter an admin report by region to compare manager-initiated recognition rates across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas—identifying where skip-level recognition is active and where it needs encouragement—all from a single dashboard without switching tools or exporting raw data.
