We would like the ability to setup birthday announcements that will automatically be displayed on the home screen as a type of announcement. With all the information already in Keystyle, this would be a simple way to make employees feel special. As a union contractor, however, we would not want to show birthday announcements for all employees, nor would we want all employees to be able to view these announcements. We would want to be able to show employees' birthdays by payroll group (so just our office employees) and then also be able to only allow certain payroll groups to be able to see these birthday announcements. This should be able to tie in directly to the employee's birthday already entered in the system. Also, the system should automatically remove the birthday of someone who is no longer an active employee.
I would imagine this could also be tied in to anniversaries based on hire date.

Update:
You can actually code something like what you are asking yourself for free in the VISTA system. I have an WF Notifier Job Manager emailing our HR Team / CEO for both BDAY and ANN reminders (our company CEO likes to send out a short video himself to individuals). You could customize this to your specific needs but here would be the coding needed for the WF Notifier Query on BDAYs. Please note I included all views in the HRRM Table for the Select Clause, which all are not needed for this notifier but might help you deploy more complex notifiers in the future. For ANN you might need to JOIN PREM for rehires depending on what your company's policy is on what defines an employee's ANN. In my example change d.HRCo = '1' from '1' to the company number you need but all other code lines should work based on the default VISTA set-up.

I love this suggestion so much - we are proud to have fulfilled this request as part of our Onboarding Package. Check it out its awesome!

We have a secretary sending out company emails for these currently and it would be great if this was automated not only to save time but to avoid inaccuracies.
Adding this feature would be beneficial. I concur with Megan about the need for its prompt implementation. We're considering a separate announcement for every employee.
Devil's advocate here - I would much rather have VP Dev spend their time and finite resources working on issues that cannot be handled via company email -or via Vista Workflow Notifier.
I'm pretty flexible on timing. It does not have to be an individual announcement. One announcement per week or even month would be great. The priority for me is automation.

Perhaps a list of birthdays and anniversaries for the month on the home page?
Hi Megan, Are you thinking of having one Company Announcement per week for all employees? Or an individual company announcement for each employee?
With the high number of votes for this item, I'm wondering what Keystyle's thoughts are on implementation? This is one of the few popular items that has received no comment from Keystyle. And it seems pretty basic.
