Fostering a sense of belonging among employees is crucial for organizational success. Research consistently shows positive communication and recognition significantly boost employee morale and retention. That's why we developed our Celebrations feature, which helps you honor your employees' birthdays and work anniversaries automatically. Once managers set these special dates, our feature ensures they are never missed, working on auto-pilot to make it easy for team members to celebrate together.

This article will cover:

Why Use the Celebrations Feature?

The Celebrations feature works based on two user profile fields: Birthday and Employment Start Date. Once users have this information added to their profiles, their birthdays and work anniversaries will begin to be celebrated automatically, so you will never have to worry about forgetting their special day!

In other words, Celebrations:

  1. Boost Morale: Recognizing personal milestones fosters a positive work environment and makes employees feel appreciated.

  2. Strengthen Team Bonding: Celebrations create opportunities for team members to engage with each other, enhancing camaraderie and teamwork.

  3. Enhance Retention: Employees who feel valued are more likely to stay with the company, reducing turnover rates.

How do Celebrations Appear on the Company Feed?

  • Daily Highlights: Every day, birthdays and work anniversaries are featured at the top of the feed. Employees can click on each celebration to leave comments and reactions, that are visible to everyone, including the person being celebrated.

  • Personal Messages: Managers can personalize each celebration by adding a custom message, making the recognition more meaningful.

How do Users Receive their Celebrations?

For employees, the Celebrations feature is a delightful surprise that brightens their day. When an employee logs into the mobile app on their birthday or work anniversary, they receive a push notification, making it impossible to miss it. This custom message written by their manager adds a more personal touch and ensures that employees feel valued and appreciated by the organization.
