Simployer + Nectar Integration

Connect Simployer to Nectar so your employee records keep recognition and engagement programs current.

Overview

Simployer is an HR platform for organizations in Norway and the Nordic region. Nectar connects to Simployer so the people records you already maintain become the source for recognition, rewards, and communications. New hires are added automatically, profile changes carry over, and employees who leave are deactivated.

Ideal for:

  • Nordic organizations running HR in Simployer
  • Multi-country teams with Nordic entities
  • People teams that want recognition tied to HR records
  • Mid-sized organizations

How It Works

Nectar reads employee data from Simployer and uses it to create, update, and deactivate Nectar accounts. Data flows one way, from Simployer into Nectar, so Simployer stays your single source of truth.

What data syncs

  • First name, preferred first name, and last name
  • Work email (personal email is used only if no work email exists)
  • Employee ID
  • Job title and department
  • Manager
  • Office location and country
  • Hire date and birthday
  • Phone number
  • Employment status (active or terminated)

Every field has a job inside Nectar. Manager relationships assign manager roles and Team Insights automatically. Hire dates and birthdays drive work anniversary and birthday celebrations in Nectar Recognition. Departments and locations power analytics filters, Group Give, and audience targeting in Nectar Comms, Nectar Engage, and Nectar Flows. Hire dates and work anniversaries can also trigger Nectar Flows, and manager relationships assign reviewers in Nectar Perform and build the org view in Nectar Signals. Country keeps the rewards catalog relevant for each employee, and phone numbers enable SMS delivery in Nectar Comms.

Sync behavior

  • Syncs automatically every day, and an admin can run Sync & Import at any time
  • New hires in Simployer are added to Nectar, profile changes carry over, and terminated employees are deactivated
  • You choose which departments and employee types sync, and you can pause the sync whenever you need to

New users are created quietly by default. When you are ready to launch, turn on "Send Nectar platform email invitations to new users" so every future hire gets an invite automatically.

Authentication method

A Simployer administrator authorizes read-only access to employee data through a guided connection flow launched from Nectar, using credentials created in Simployer. The connection runs through Nectar's SOC 2 Type II audited integration partner with read-only access, and Nectar never asks for or stores your Simployer login credentials.

Where users interact

Admins connect, monitor, and pause the integration in Nectar under Workspace Settings, then Integrations. Employees never touch it: they just find an accurate profile, the right manager, and their teammates already in Nectar when they log in.

Key Features + Benefits

  • Automatic provisioning: new hires in Simployer get Nectar accounts without a manual upload
  • Always-current profiles: title, department, manager, and location changes flow into Nectar
  • Automated offboarding: terminated employees are deactivated, not deleted, so access ends and records stay intact
  • Celebrations on autopilot: birthdays and work anniversaries are recognized automatically from synced dates
  • Controlled launch: accounts are created quietly, and invitations go out only when you turn them on
  • Selective sync: choose exactly which departments and employee types are included

Setup and Implementation

Setting up the Simployer integration follows four steps: Connect, Authorize, Map, and Enable. Your Nectar Customer Success Manager guides you through each one.

High-level setup steps

Testimonials

What our customers are saying

“I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
