Question

How do I enable rewards for birthday and work anniversary milestones?

Answer

If you would like to post birthdays and anniversaries to the company feed, we recommend using our Milestone feature. It allows you to post a special message for each employee to celebrate their milestone. On the employee's birthday, everyone can leave a comment on the post to wish them well. It will also notify the employee that their birthday has been recognised in the company feed.
