Empuls supports custom merchandise catalogs that can be curated to include only specific product categories—such as health and wellness—ensuring rewards align with company culture, program goals, or seasonal campaigns.
Custom Merchandise Catalogs in Empuls
Empuls gives HR and People teams full control over what employees can redeem. Rather than presenting every available product in the global reward marketplace, administrators can build a focused, curated merchandise catalog tailored to the goals of a specific recognition program or initiative. When a company is running a wellness campaign, admins can configure a catalog that surfaces only health and fitness products—standing desk accessories, fitness trackers, yoga mats, or nutrition kits—while keeping unrelated items out of view entirely. Employees see a purposeful selection, and the decision fatigue that comes with a sprawling catalog disappears.How Curation Reinforces Program Intent
A curated catalog does more than simplify choices. When the reward selection directly reflects a program’s theme, employees understand the intent behind the recognition initiative. A sustainability drive paired with eco-friendly merchandise, or a learning culture campaign paired with books and online course credits, sends a consistent message about what the organization values. Empuls administrators define catalog rules at the program level. This means different teams, cohorts, or campaign types can each carry their own tailored selection—a sales incentive program can feature high-end electronics, while a company-wide wellness initiative shows only health-related merchandise.Integration with Your HR Stack
When Empuls connects to platforms like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox, catalog access ties naturally to employee data such as department, role, or geography. Eligibility for a curated catalog updates automatically as HR records change, with no manual list management required. For organizations where Slack or Microsoft Teams serves as the primary communication layer, employees browse and redeem from the curated catalog directly inside those tools. There is no separate portal to navigate, and the focused product selection remains consistent across every access point.Governance and Catalog Management
Custom catalogs in Empuls operate under the same security standards as the full marketplace. Empuls holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, so curated catalogs built for health campaigns or any other theme carry the same data protection guarantees. Admins can update catalog contents at any time—adding new products for a campaign refresh or retiring items when a program wraps—without engineering involvement or downtime. Changes take effect immediately across all connected surfaces.Learn more: Empuls Help Centre — Empuls reward marketplace
