Birthday

1. Overview

The Birthday feature in Employee Engagement allows organizations to automatically or manually celebrate employees’ birthdays by posting birthday wishes on the Feed. This helps create a positive workplace culture and makes employees feel valued and recognized on their special day.

2. When to Use This?

  • When you want to wish employees on their birthdays in a public and engaging way.

  • When HR or managers want to build employee morale and connection.

  • When you want birthdays to be visible to the team instead of sending private messages.

  • When you want to combine birthday wishes with images, badges, or certificates.

3. Concepts

  • Birthday Post – A Feed post created to celebrate an employee’s birthday.

  • Recipient (@Mention) – The employee whose birthday is being celebrated.

  • Copilot – Helps reframe birthday messages in different tones.

  • Media Attachments – Images, badges, or certificates added to birthday posts.

  • Values – Organizational values linked to the birthday post.

  • Feed – The place where birthday wishes are published and viewed.
