Empuls supports creating multiple nomination forms simultaneously, each independently configured with its own fields, validation rules, and submission guidelines to match the specific requirements of every award category.
Xoxoday Empuls gives HR and People teams full control over how nominations are structured across different award programs. Instead of routing all nominations through a single generic form, Empuls allows administrators to build dedicated forms for each award type — whether that is an Employee of the Month recognition, a Values Champion award, or a Team Innovation prize. Each nomination form in Empuls is independently configurable. Administrators define the specific fields nominators must complete, set validation rules to ensure responses meet minimum quality standards, and add per-form instructions that guide employees through the submission process. A peer-nominated award can require a written justification, while a manager-nominated award can prompt for specific performance metrics or measurable business outcomes. Why separate forms matter When all nominations share the same structure, submission quality suffers. A technical excellence award requires different evidence than a customer service recognition. Empuls solves this by letting you design forms that ask exactly the right questions for each category, reducing the back-and-forth HR teams typically face during award review cycles. A practical example Consider a company running three concurrent programs: a quarterly Values Award, an annual Leadership Excellence Award, and a monthly Peer Spotlight. With Empuls, the Values Award form includes a dropdown to select which core value the nominee demonstrated, plus a 250-word narrative field. The Leadership Excellence form asks for measurable business outcomes and peer endorsements. The Peer Spotlight form stays intentionally lightweight — a name field and a short comment. All three run simultaneously without overlap or confusion. For organizations using Workday or SAP SuccessFactors for HR data, Empuls nomination forms align with existing employee taxonomies, making it straightforward to cross-reference nominations against performance records. Submission confirmations and new-nomination alerts can be delivered directly through Slack or Microsoft Teams, keeping the process visible without requiring employees to navigate a separate tool. Consistency and governance at scale As a recognition program grows, structured per-category forms ensure every nomination for a given award follows the same format. This makes it significantly easier for selection committees to evaluate candidates fairly and consistently. Empuls retains all nomination data, giving HR teams a clear audit trail — a practical requirement for organizations operating under compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, where documented, repeatable processes are expected. Administrators can update individual forms between award cycles, introduce new categories without affecting existing ones, and archive old forms while preserving full submission history.
