Empuls supports digital polls that can be run organization-wide or within specific community groups, using multiple-choice or single-select formats with configurable durations and real-time results.
Polls on Empuls are built into the social intranet and designed to make employee voice a regular part of how your organization communicates. Whether you need quick feedback on a return-to-office policy or want to gauge excitement about an upcoming company event, Empuls lets you launch a poll in minutes and share it with exactly the right audience. Multiple formats, one familiar feed Xoxoday Empuls supports both multiple-choice and single-select poll formats, so you can match the format to the question. Use single-select when you need a clear majority read — “Which day works best for the all-hands?” — and multiple-choice when employees may hold more than one valid preference. Polls appear directly in the Empuls social feed, the same space where employees already read company announcements, celebrate milestones, and engage with recognition posts. Targeted reach with configurable duration Every poll on Empuls can be scoped to the whole organization or limited to a specific community group — for instance, an Engineering guild, a regional office, or a diversity and inclusion circle. You set the duration, from a quick 24-hour pulse to a two-week window for decisions that need broader input. When the poll closes, results are immediately visible to participants, encouraging transparency without requiring a separate report or follow-up meeting. Practical use cases for HR and People teams HR teams commonly use Empuls polls to test awareness of new initiatives before a formal rollout, collect preferences on benefits options, or run lightweight pulse checks between scheduled engagement surveys. A People Ops team running a well-being program, for example, can post a single-select poll in the Empuls feed asking employees which wellness activity to prioritize that quarter — getting actionable input in hours rather than days. For organizations using MS Teams or Slack as their primary communication layer, Empuls integrates directly with both, meaning poll notifications reach employees in the tools they already use daily. Employees can view and respond without switching context, which meaningfully increases participation rates across distributed and hybrid teams. Polls as part of a richer content mix Polls in Empuls are not a standalone feature — they sit alongside quizzes, video posts, and recognition feeds inside the same social layer. This content mix matters because it prevents survey fatigue. When a poll follows an engaging quiz or a peer-recognition shoutout, employees are already in an interactive mindset, producing higher response rates and more representative data. For organizations operating under compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, Empuls maintains the same security and data residency standards across polls as it does for all survey and communication features. Teams using Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox as their HRIS can also leverage Empuls alongside these systems without disrupting existing workflows.
