Empuls enables HR and People teams to build and manage a fully customized reward catalog — filtering by country, reward category, delivery type (physical or digital), and price range — so every employee sees options that are relevant, compliant, and meaningful to them.
Reward programs deliver results when employees can choose something that genuinely resonates with them. A catalog populated with generic options erodes participation over time. Xoxoday Empuls gives HR and People teams full administrative control to build a reward catalog shaped around their organization’s workforce, culture, and compliance requirements.
Curating the Catalog
Empuls pulls from a global reward inventory spanning merchandise, gift cards, experiences, and custom reward types. Administrators filter this inventory by country to surface regionally appropriate options, by category to highlight preferred reward formats, and by price range to keep redemptions aligned with program budgets. Physical and digital rewards can both be included and managed from a single admin view.
What You Can Offer
The catalog supports a broad range of reward formats. Digital gift cards covering retail, travel, dining, and entertainment sit alongside physical merchandise such as branded accessories or tech products. Experiential rewards — team lunches, wellness sessions, or skill-building workshops — add a personal dimension that gift cards alone cannot replicate. Empuls also supports fully custom reward entries: a “lunch with a senior leader,” a sponsored certification, or a company-specific perk. These can be created and managed directly within Empuls without requiring a third-party workaround.
Building Named Collections
Administrators can group rewards into named collections, making it easier for employees to browse options relevant to their role, location, or tenure stage. A new-hire collection might feature onboarding essentials; a high-performance collection might focus on premium experiences. Collections reduce decision fatigue and ensure the catalog reflects your employer brand rather than a generic marketplace.
Integrated With Your HR Stack
When an employee earns recognition points through Empuls — whether triggered by a peer shoutout in Slack or Microsoft Teams, a service anniversary alert synced from Workday, or a milestone notification from SAP SuccessFactors or Darwinbox — they redeem those points directly from the curated catalog. The recognition moment and the redemption experience stay connected, keeping engagement high without requiring employees to context-switch into a separate system.
Regional and Security Compliance
Country-level filtering ensures that the catalog visible to an employee in Singapore differs from one shown to a colleague in Germany or Brazil, supporting local tax norms, currency preferences, and cultural relevance. For organizations running a global R&R program, this prevents administrators from having to maintain separate programs by region. Empuls is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certified, so reward catalog data and redemption activity meet enterprise-grade security and governance standards.
