What you can do
Four things you can do once Deel is connected
Deel manages your global workforce. Empuls adds recognition and rewards for every employee and contractor, using the data already in Deel.
Global workforce, one reward directory
- Employee and contractor data flows in automatically
- Deel manages employees and contractors across 150+ countries. Once the integration is live, that workforce data keeps the Empuls directory current with no manual exports or spreadsheet uploads.
- One list for the entire global team
- Full-time employees and contractors in Deel both appear in Empuls. Recognition, surveys, and milestone rewards can reach every worker in every country from a single platform.
Contractor milestones, celebrated automatically
- Work anniversaries and onboarding moments
- Contract start dates and anniversary milestones from Deel trigger Empuls celebrations automatically, so contractors feel recognised at the same moments full-time employees do.
- Project completions and tenure rewards
- Configurable milestone rules in Empuls let you reward contractors at tenure checkpoints or when key project phases close, using the data Deel already holds.
Recognition across borders
- Currency, locale, and delivery handled
- Empuls manages multi-currency reward catalogs and localised delivery so a reward sent from Deel data lands correctly whether the recipient is in São Paulo, Singapore, or Stockholm.
- Global programs from a single admin view
- Set recognition programs once and apply them to the entire Deel workforce. Empuls segments by country, entity, or contract type using synced fields.
One reward platform for employees and contractors
- Unified catalog for every worker type
- Full-time employees and contractors access the same Empuls reward catalog, so the experience is consistent across every engagement model Deel supports.
- Surveys and engagement for the global team
- Pulse surveys and engagement programs run on the Deel-fed directory, so you can measure and act on engagement for contractors and employees in the same cycle.
Use cases
Who runs it, and what for
Three ways global teams use Deel data inside Empuls.
Contractor anniversaries and tenure rewards
Milestone dates from Deel trigger Empuls rewards automatically. Contractors at the 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year marks get recognised without any HR follow-up.
Cross-border reward spend by entity
Deel entity and country fields let Finance segment recognition and reward spend across regions, keeping global reward budgets visible and reportable.
How it works
From Deel record to delivered reward
Step 1
Deel workforce syncs to Empuls
Employee and contractor records from Deel are imported into Empuls, with Deel as the source of truth for the global workforce directory.
Step 2
Employee and contractor profiles created in Empuls
Both full-time employees and contractors get Empuls profiles, enabling recognition and milestone rewards for the entire workforce from day one.
Step 3
Recognition routing configured
Recognition programs, milestone rules, and reward budgets are configured to work across each country and contract type in the Deel directory.
Step 4
Rewards deliver globally
Empuls handles currency, locale, and delivery so every worker receives their reward wherever they are - employee or contractor.
