# Empuls' Automated Pulse Surveys and R&R Feedback Reports
> Empuls supports automated pulse surveys and custom surveys for R&R programs, with self-service reports and insights available to program administrators.
Empuls provides both standard pulse surveys and custom surveys for rewards and recognition programs, with self-service dashboards that give program administrators direct access to reports and insights on a recurring basis.
Xoxoday Empuls includes a built-in survey engine that helps HR and People teams collect structured feedback on their rewards and recognition programs. Program administrators can run both standard pulse surveys focused on the R\&R program itself and fully custom surveys tailored to specific topics, teams, or moments in the employee journey.
**Pulse Surveys for R\&R Programs**
Standard pulse surveys in Empuls are designed to capture periodic sentiment around recognition frequency, fairness, and program impact. These surveys are short, focused, and repeatable — making them practical to deploy quarterly or after major program milestones without creating survey fatigue among employees.
When a standard template does not cover a specific need, Empuls allows administrators to build custom surveys from scratch. This is particularly useful when gathering feedback on a newly launched peer-to-peer recognition initiative, a spot awards rollout, or a manager effectiveness program across a particular business unit.
**Self-Service Reports and Insights**
Once responses are collected, Empuls makes the resulting data available through self-service dashboards. Program administrators can view response rates, sentiment trends, and open-ended feedback without waiting for an analytics team to extract a report. This gives HR leads and People Ops managers direct visibility into what is working and where recognition gaps exist.
For example, an HR administrator managing an R\&R program integrated with Microsoft Teams can trigger a pulse survey directly within the Empuls workflow, then review aggregated results in the Empuls dashboard — all without exporting data to a third-party tool. Organizations connected to Workday or SAP SuccessFactors can align survey timing with performance review cycles for more contextual, timely feedback.
**Periodic Administration by Client-Side Administrators**
Empuls gives client-side program administrators full control over survey scheduling. Surveys can be set to run on a recurring cadence — monthly, quarterly, or at custom intervals — ensuring feedback collection stays consistent without requiring manual intervention each time.
This model supports accountability at the program level: administrators see which employee segments responded, can identify trends over time, and can act on findings within the same platform where recognition happens. Because Empuls operates under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance standards, all survey data is handled with enterprise-grade security protocols.
The combination of standard and custom survey types, periodic scheduling, and self-service reporting makes Empuls a practical tool for organizations that want to measure not just participation in R\&R programs, but the actual employee experience driving the numbers.
