Reward campaigns (also called reward programs) let you run structured, time-bound recognition cycles. Rather than allowing ad-hoc nominations year-round, you define a window when nominations are open, set point budgets for the cycle, and configure governance rules to prevent favouritism. Open the campaigns admin in your tenant at https://<your-empuls-url>/home/awards. Reward campaigns are particularly useful for:
  • Annual recognition programmes like “Best Innovation” or “Team of the Year”
  • Quarterly performance recognition cycles
  • Festival or seasonal recognition events

​
Create a reward campaign

1

Navigate to Reward Campaigns

Go to Admin Dashboard > Programs > Reward Campaigns and click Create Reward Program.
2

Add program details

Enter a Program Name and Description. Select the awards to include in this campaign from the dropdown, and enter the total points budget allocated for the cycle.
3

Select participants

Click the pen icon to define who can submit nominations in this campaign. You can include everyone or filter by designation, department, location, or other attributes. Click Save and Continue.
4

Set nomination limits (optional)

Toggle Yes, Set Limit to cap the number of nominations per award. Enter the maximum number per award (up to 99). This prevents any single award category from being flooded with nominations.
5

Configure dates

Set the start date and time for collecting nominations, the end date to stop accepting new nominations, and the final program close date. You can also configure a custom announcement email and a home page banner to promote the campaign.
6

Set governance rules

Empuls includes built-in guardrails to ensure fair recognition:
  • Reciprocal recognition: Flags or blocks situations where two employees only nominate each other.
  • Repetitive recognition: Flags nominations where the same person is nominated by the same person multiple times within a configurable window.
  • Over-recognition: Flags excessive nominations for the same individual.
For each rule, choose the enforcement level:
  • Observe mode: Logs violations for admin review without blocking the action.
  • Restricted mode: Blocks the action and asks the user to make a change.
7

Save and launch

Review all settings and click Save and Continue to activate the campaign. Selected participants receive an announcement email and see the campaign banner on their home page.

​
Monitor a running campaign

The Reward Program Dashboard (under Programs > Reward Campaigns) shows active and completed campaigns. Click any campaign to access:
  • Submission Details: Total nominations received, who submitted them, number of participants. Send reminder nudges to all participants or filter by award and nominator.
  • Review Details: Nominations awaiting review, approved, and declined. Send nudges to reviewers with pending actions.
  • Governance Report: A log of rule violations in observe mode.
To copy a completed campaign for next quarter, click the three-dot icon on the campaign card and select Make a Copy. The dates automatically shift to the next period.
