The sense of belonging and visibility of employees in the organization is critical and vital. Employee turnover costs the company both time and money, two valuable resources. Studies show that companies that communicate positively with their employees, increase their sense of visibility and belonging, increase motivation, and dramatically lower employee turnover rates in the organization. For this reason we have created our Celebrations feature that allows you to celebrate with your users their birthdays and work anniversaries within the company.
In this article we will go over:
What is the Celebrations Feature
With the "Celebrations" feature, as soon as you enter the admin dashboard and enter the feature itself the birthday and work anniversary celebrations of users' that take place today and tomorrow appears. The celebration feature ensures that no event will be missed and that your company is prepared to celebrate with each employee :)
