"Empuls made it easy to celebrate special occasions"

"In addition to automating rewards for recurring employee milestones, Empuls made it easy to celebrate special occasions such as a wedding or the birth of a baby with gifts and rewards. And the survey feature of Empuls is being extensively used to obtain New Hire feedback on the onboarding processes."

Shirin Varghese

"Empuls gave us exactly what we wanted"

“In fact, we did not evaluate anybody else because Empuls gave us exactly what we wanted. The team came in and gave a presentation on how it works. All I had to do now was coordinate with only one point of contact and the rest was taken care of. The employees were surveyed for their affinity towards the Empuls platform and amazingly, 80% of them scored themselves as ‘promoters’.
