Birthdays

When importing your employees, it is possible to fill in the field "date of birth". If this is entered and the employee has chosen in their privacy settings to share their date of birth with the community they are in or with the entire organisation, their birthday will be visible.

Employee

An employee who has a birthday will see the following when the app is opened:

To alert employees that someone in their community or organisation has a birthday, they see ‘Time to celebrate’ in the hub. When they click on this, they will see all who have their birthday on that day, or who will have their birthday in the coming period:

Employees can congratulate each other by clicking on the blue arrow. They will then be immediately redirected to the chat with the birthday person.

Anniversaries

When importing your employees, you can fill in the ‘Date employed’ field. Previously, every year of service was considered a work anniversary. This has recently been updated.

The following service years are now recognized as anniversaries:

  • 5 years

  • 10 years

  • 12.5 years

  • 25 years

  • 40 years

Employee

If an employee has an anniversary to celebrate, it will be displayed in the app as shown below, provided the ‘date in service’ field is filled in:

Administrator

As an administrator, you will be able to see birthdays or anniversaries in several places on the web-app:

  • Employees (company dashboard): above the details of all employees, a bar will be shown with ‘celebrations’:


    Clicking on “Show all” will bring up the list of all birthdays and anniversaries for the current day and the upcoming period:

  • Random community - Timeline: If you go to any community, you will have a block next to the timeline that says ‘Time to celebrate’:

  • Random community - Colleagues: If you go to any community and then click on the ‘Colleagues’ menu tab , you will then get the same overview as in the “Colleagues” tab on the organisation dashboard:
