The tool your team uses all day should also be where they get recognized
Moving recognition into Slack means employees engage with the program without changing any habits.
Recognition where the conversation is
Employees use /empuls or message the bot from any channel. Recognition posts to Slack where the team is already talking.
HR installs it, not IT
Super Admins connect Slack from the Empuls admin dashboard in under a minute. No IT ticket, no enterprise app review, no waiting.
A bot that guides, not commands
Employees do not memorize syntax. The Empuls bot walks them through recognition with interactive prompts and reply buttons.
What employees can do inside Slack
Recognition, rewards, and surveys, all within the Slack workspace your team already uses.
Recognize peers with /empuls
Type /empuls in any channel or message the bot directly. Choose an award, add a reason, and send. It takes seconds.
Recognition posts to the channel
When recognition is sent from Slack, it posts to the channel feed where the whole team can see and react to it.
Redeem rewards from the catalog
Employees browse perks, gift cards, and benefits from a global catalog and redeem directly from within Slack.
Respond to surveys in Slack
Pulse surveys arrive as bot messages. Employees answer without leaving Slack, and response rates go up.
Birthday and anniversary messages
Birthday and work anniversary greetings are delivered as personal direct messages to the employee.
Interactive prompts at every step
No command syntax to learn. The bot shows buttons and menus throughout, making recognition fast for any employee.
Set it up once from the Empuls dashboard
No IT involvement, no enterprise app review. The whole integration lives in the Empuls admin settings.

Customize the bot name
Rename the Empuls bot to match your internal culture or your company's recognition program name.
