Configure a anniversary widget

You can configure an anniversary widget on a page to improve digital workplace engagement and recognition. The widget displays upcoming organizational anniversaries, allowing users to celebrate and acknowledge their colleagues' special days.

Considerations

  • No available anniversary celebrations: If no anniversary celebrations are available, the widget will display the message "No anniversary to celebrate just yet! Check back soon."
  • Anniversaries: A user's Work Anniversary profile field must be completed before the user can appear in the anniversary widget. 

Who can do this?

  • Workplace administrators 
  • Site administrators
