The Birthday Award will automatically give a birthday shoutout and reward to your teammates on their birthday. This is a great way to make sure they're celebrated on their special day. The award will appear in the social feed, which allows the rest of your team to add on to the shoutout if they would like.
The points for the Birthday Award come directly from the company, and not an individual user’s allowance balance.
Before you configure and customize the Birthday Award, you'll want to make sure that your users have birthday information in their profile in the Users tab.
