How does Empuls handle peer nominations and award approvals?

​

Guided Nomination in a Few Steps

Empuls gives employees a structured, guided flow to recognise colleagues without friction. A nominator searches for and selects a peer, picks the appropriate award category, writes a personalised message, and attaches an eCard along with a core value badge before submitting. If the award requires approval, the nomination automatically enters a preconfigured workflow—no manual routing needed.

​

Jury-Based Awards for Employee of the Month and Quarter

For high-visibility programs like Employee of the Month or Employee of the Quarter, Empuls lets HR teams enable Jury-based award workflows. Any eligible employee can submit a nomination, which is then routed to a defined jury panel for review and scoring. The workflow supports multiple approval tiers—for example, a direct manager approves first, followed by a department head or an HR business partner—with each reviewer able to add justification notes before advancing the nomination. Empuls sends automatic notifications to all stakeholders at every stage, eliminating the need for manual follow-ups.

​

QR-Code Nominations for Frontline and Deskless Employees

Warehouse staff, retail associates, and field technicians rarely sit in front of a desktop portal. Empuls addresses this with a QR-code-based nomination feature: an HR team generates a QR code tied to a specific award, prints or displays it on-site, and employees scan it with any mobile device to open a public-facing recognition form that requires no login. The submitted nomination feeds directly into the same approval and jury workflows as any standard nomination, keeping the program consistent and auditable across the entire workforce.

​

Integrations That Keep Recognition in the Flow of Work

Empuls integrates with Microsoft Teams and Slack, so employees receive nomination alerts and can complete quick recognitions without leaving their daily tools. For organisations running Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox as their HRIS, Empuls syncs employee data automatically—keeping award eligibility rules and organisational hierarchies accurate without manual maintenance. Empuls is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II standards, so nomination records, jury deliberations, and award histories are handled with enterprise-grade security and data governance.

eCard Customisation and Core Value Alignment

Empuls includes a library of eCards that nominators can personalise with messages tied to specific company values, turning a formal approval process into a moment of genuine appreciation. Pairing an eCard with a core value badge ensures every recognition is anchored to the behaviours an organisation wants to reinforce—making the program both measurable and meaningful.
