Add birthdays to Team Today and help improve your office culture
How it works
Company admins can turn on birthdays in company settings as a global setting. Individual team members can then decide whether they wish to share their birthday so others can see. Once shared an icon depicting a birthday cake is added to the relevant day.
Team Today doesn't collect year of birth to ensure that unnecessary data isn't collected.
Where birthdays show
Birthdays show in the Week View when it is set to Grid, the Month View, the Work Planner and the Leave Planner. They don't show in the Day View, or in the Week View when it is set to Calendar.
