Xoxoday Empuls supports nomination-based award workflows that cover employee self-nominations, manager-led recommendations, and rule-based automatic nominations — with configurable eligibility criteria, single or multi-level approval chains, budget allocation, branded certificates, and automated reminders throughout the lifecycle.
Xoxoday Empuls supports nomination-based award workflows that give HR teams full control over how recognition programmes are structured and run. Whether your organisation runs quarterly excellence awards, annual leadership honours, or project-completion spotlights, Xoxoday Empuls manages the entire process — from nomination intake through approval, reward delivery, and certificate issuance. Three nomination models in one platform Xoxoday Empuls allows three distinct nomination models to run simultaneously. Employees can self-nominate for open awards, managers can recommend direct reports or peers, and admins can configure rule-based automatic nominations that surface eligible employees based on predefined criteria. For organisations that sync HRIS data from Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, eligibility rules can draw directly on tenure, role, or performance attributes — removing manual effort and reducing nomination blind spots. Granular admin configuration Admins in Xoxoday Empuls define custom eligibility criteria for each award, such as minimum service tenure or department-level filters. Nomination windows are time-bound with defined open and close dates, keeping programmes on schedule. Approval chains can be configured as single-level (direct manager sign-off) or multi-level (department head followed by HR review), depending on the weight of the award. Every step produces an auditable record, so HR teams can demonstrate fairness and process integrity during compliance reviews. Budgets, rewards, and branded certificates Each award programme in Xoxoday Empuls carries a dedicated budget. Admins set reward values per award tier, and winners can receive points, gift cards, or curated experiences through Xoxoday Empuls’s global rewards catalogue. Every recipient also receives a branded digital certificate personalised with the award name, the recipient’s details, and the approving manager — turning a workflow outcome into a memorable, shareable moment. Automated nudges that keep programmes moving Xoxoday Empuls triggers automated reminders at every stage. Nominators receive alerts before the nomination window closes, approvers are notified when a submission awaits their review, and recipients are informed the moment an award is approved. These notifications reach people through email and, where connected, directly inside Slack or Microsoft Teams — so recognition stays visible in the tools your teams already use daily. The combined effect is a structured, fair, and inclusive recognition culture where every nomination follows a consistent process rather than depending on informal manager discretion or one-off conversations.
