Manual rewards and intermittent engagement
Before Xoxoday, Brenntag had a blanket employee engagement and rewards mechanism that involved issuing bank cards. These were given to employees on their birthdays and as rewards. Brenntag also intermittently ran a few engagement activities like "kids day at work," team-building activities, birthday celebrations, and CSR activities. But all the rewards had to be manually procured, tracked, and distributed.

‍Why Empuls was chosen for driving employee engagement initiatives
Brenntag evaluated two engagement solution providers before zeroing in on Empuls. The intuitive and exciting design of the Empuls platform made it much more user-friendly than the other solutions. After implementation, the platform's usability led to great adoption rates.

Value for money
Empuls delivers excellent cost efficiencies, considering the breadth of capabilities and benefits it offers. Empuls brought about advantages like increased engagement and reduced overheads when managing engagement programs. These perceived benefits clearly showed a positive ROI from Empuls.

"Both, HR and employees, benefited hugely since implementing Empuls. This platform had every reward and recognition option and it helped create complete transparency in the process. The fact that the platform is interactive and interesting leads people to visit and use it often thereby increasing adoption rates. When one gets recognised even for the smallest of their achievements, everyone gets to know– which is the best way to recognise people."
- Nidhi Verma, HR Manager, HR Information Centre - Asia Pacific, Brenntag

Maggiore trasparenza nella R&R
Sia le risorse umane che i dipendenti hanno tratto grandi vantaggi dalla trasparenza del processo di R&R. I criteri di ricompensa potevano essere facilmente definiti e compresi dai dipendenti. Quando i dipendenti ricevevano i premi, tutti capivano perché e come erano stati premiati. Questo ha permesso alle Risorse Umane di definire chiaramente i programmi di coinvolgimento e ai dipendenti di adottarli rapidamente.

Reduced turnaround time for rewarding
Empuls drastically reduced the amount of time required to track and disseminate rewards through its rewards automation feature. This process automatically identified an event for rewarding - for example, a birthday or a work anniversary and rewarded the respective employee with predesignated number of points.

One platform for all engagement needs
The engagement and the rewards platform presented an end to end solution to the employees and the HR. The feeds and announcements feature helped quick communication and engagement. The rewards automation and the nomination workflows reduced the HR overheads. The extensive rewards catalogue opened the employees to an extensive range of options where they could redeem their reward points. Resultantly, Empuls worked out for all the organization’s employee engagement needs.

Apprezzamento sociale
La funzione dei feed e degli annunci ha lasciato il posto all'apprezzamento sociale, rendendo gli eventi interattivi e interessanti per i dipendenti. Eventi speciali come i compleanni e i premi sono diventati un'ottima occasione per i dipendenti di apprezzarsi reciprocamente e di impegnarsi in conversazioni positive.

Increased employee engagement with Empuls
For Brenntag, Empuls’ robust and intuitive platform, along with its collaboration and motivation modules, delivered a comprehensive solution. They are seeing a better perception of organizational transparency amongst employees and overall improved employee engagement levels.
