The GCC workforce challenge in 2026 
Two forces are converging across the region. Understanding both is the starting point for a meaningful organizational response. 

Employees are under pressure 
Across the GCC, geopolitical uncertainty, organizational change, and economic pressure are leading to emotionally stretched employees. When engagement falters, productivity, retention, and organizational momentum all follow. 

Recognition is the most effective tool 
What employees say they need most is leadership communication and recognition that feels real. Organizations that build this infrastructure right now retain their best people and maintain forward momentum. 

In times of uncertainty, organizational culture is tested. The companies that come out the strongest are those that sustain engagement and motivation. 

Introducing the Empuls Engagement Pilot 
A culture and recognition infrastructure for your entire workforce 
The Empuls Engagement Pilot, brought to you by Raqmiyat in partnership with Xoxoday, is a structured employee engagement program covering recognition, pulse surveys, and a social intranet. It is designed for organizations that want to take meaningful action on employee engagement without a complex implementation or long-term commitment. 

What makes this different 

• Covers your entire workforce or a defined group that you choose
• Deployed within days using a simple employee data upload, no system integration
• Scope and duration defined by your organization, not a vendor’s standard package
• No lock-in. Your data is yours. Walk away at the end of the pilot with no penalty.  

Three Interconnected Capabilities 
Everything your team needs in one place 
Each module serves a distinct purpose. Together they create a recognition culture that employees feel, that HR can measure, and that leadership can see. 

01. Recognition & Rewards 
Make recognition a daily habit with non-monetary appreciation and monetary awards. Every employee can give and receive recognition that is visible. 

• Peer-to-peer recognition visible company-wide
• Manager spot awards and milestone celebrations
• Values-based recognition linked to culture
• Points and curated rewards catalog 

02. Employee Pulse Surveys 
Give HR a real-time read on how your people feel. Move beyond the annual survey to continuous, anonymous pulse data that informs leadership decisions. 

• Short, frequent pulse surveys
• Daily Mood-o-meter check-ins
• Real-time HR sentiment dashboard
• Engagement baseline from week one 

03. Social Intranet 
Keep teams connected beyond the org chart. A company-wide communication layer that ensures leadership messages reach every employee. 

• Open forums and community groups
• Leadership announcements at scale
• Cross-team connection channels
• Interest groups and shared communities 

From Conversation to Go-Live in Days

04. Go Live

Engagement Pilot Terms 
Designed to make it easy to say yes 
Every aspect of the Engagement Pilot is structured to remove the barriers that typically prevent organizations from acting on employee engagement. Four principles that govern the offer. 

01. Flexible Scope 
The Engagement Pilot covers all employees or a defined subset. The organization decides who is included and at what scale. There is no minimum user count. 

02. Flexible Duration 
The pilot runs for a period agreed between your organization and the joint team. Typically 90 days, adjusted to fit your planning cycle and internal requirements. 

03. No Integration 
A basic employee list in CSV or Excel format is all that is needed to deploy Empuls. There is no HRMS integration, no API configuration, and no IT project required. This means go-live in days, not months. 

04. No Lock-In 
If the value is not there at the end of the pilot, you walk away. Your employee data is yours, exported cleanly and in full. There is no penalty clause or automatic renewal during the pilot period.
