What Is New in Jobpts – Recognition & Rewards?

Say Goodbye to Nomination Chaos: Simplify Nominations Across Different Industries, Units or Borders 

Managing nomination programs across multiple countries, different industries or different business units can be a logistical nightmare. But with Semos Cloud’s enhanced nomination functionalities, JobPts is the only recognition and rewards platform that facilitates industry-specific, unit and division-based nominations for global enterprises. 

Imagine a large company operating in nine different industries, with almost 50,000 employees spread across 10+ countries. The new features, including SMS notifications, segmented winner announcements, two-level approvals, and advanced country and unit filtering, allow them to effortlessly receive nominations, select winners, and distribute awards regardless of industry, department, unit, or employee location.  

Beyond Email: SMS Recognition Notifications Help Reach Deskless Workers 

Traditionally, employee recognition programs have relied on email, but this often leaves out a crucial segment: the 80% of the global workforce (Source: Boston Consulting Group) that are deskless employees. Ignoring their contributions can have a significant impact on your business. 

Semos Cloud understands this challenge. Last year Semos pioneered SMS Recognition as the first vendor on the market that enabled inclusive recognition for the deskless workers. Now we are expanding the SMS notification capabilities with nomination program winner announcements, and service anniversary alerts. This ensures that all employees, regardless of whether they are deskless or not, feel valued and included.   

Efficient Budget Management Enabled via Configurable Digital Wallets  

The newly added functionality enables HR admins to keep track of points spent and easily manage their budget by creating different wallets. The wallets serve various purposes. For instance, points accumulated from service anniversaries can be redeemed for company-branded swag items in the Rewards Catalog or for other initiatives. Similarly, points earned through the recognition program can be dedicated exclusively to donations within the Donations category of the Rewards Catalog. This approach enables efficient budget management and targeted reward allocation.

Boost Your Employer Brand: Share Recognition Achievements on LinkedIn 

Building a strong company culture is key to attracting and retaining top talent. Semos Cloud’s new Wrap-up functionality empowers employees to do just that. 

This feature allows them to receive a personalized summary of their recognition achievements, which they can then download as a PDF or share directly on LinkedIn. This public recognition showcases the company’s commitment to employee appreciation, fostering a positive employer brand. 

Potential candidates will recognize that the company values its people, making it a more attractive destination for top talent. Additionally, sharing recognition motivates current employees and enhances your employer brand within the existing workforce. 

Bridge the Skills Gap: Plan and Optimize Your Talent Strategies With X-Shape Talent Report 

The JobPts, Recognition and Rewards platform has been expanded with a new X-Shape Talent Report. This report equips HR executives with a comprehensive view of emerging talent. It helps them identify high-potential employees and plan future leadership pipelines by analyzing skills obtained from recognition messages. In the Admin Center, HR Admins can define the skills and skills categories required for X-Shape talent within their company.  

What Is New in Nurture – Employee Communications? 

Reaching Deskless Employees With Nurture Is Easier Than Ever 

  • Nurture Breaks Down Barriers for Deskless Employees Without Email – Good news for deskless employees who lack company email addresses! Nurture now allows them to log in using their HCM system ID number, thanks to the smooth integration. This empowers internal communication professionals to target these employees directly by pushing new updates straight into the Nurture app, bypassing email altogether. 
  • Popup for Employees Without Phone Number Data in HCM System – Imagine a manufacturing worker seeing a poster promoting the Nurture app. By scanning the QR code on the poster, they can be directed to the app where the system notifies them to consensually insert their mobile phone number and verify it to be able to receive communications via SMS. 

Nurture ensures everyone, regardless of location or access to email, stays connected and informed.
