How Do You Track Birthdays at Work? Seeking Ideas for a Birthday Tracker

Hey all,

I am looking to compile a birthday tracker for our organization. Do you think you could help me with a few formats that you would be using?

Cheers,
Reena

Hi Reena,

You can add all your friends' and colleagues' date of birth in Outlook, and it will automatically remind you a week before or you can set reminders. I am using it in my office to send greetings for birthdays and anniversaries. Additionally, in Excel, you can sort and extract month-wise dates according to your needs.

Hi,

As of now, I am using a daily diary to track the employees' birthdays and anniversaries. It is really difficult to maintain. Please give some other suggestions to follow.

If you have a PC, then you can use Outlook for any reminders. You can also set the date and time as you...

I am also using Outlook in which I made a task with date & time. When I open Outlook, the current task appears as a reminder. So, I think Outlook is the best solution.

Hi Reena,

As you mentioned sending cards for occasions, you can try out Yahoo Greetings (yahoo greetings.com). Create a login for yourself and add all the contacts you have along with their respective date of birth details. You can also explore American Greetings (americangreetings.com), which are the ones I use. They send reminders at least one week in advance and frequently remind you via emails. Additionally, you have the option to send e-cards for free through these websites.

Dear Friend,

My Outlook doesn't show birthdays through pop-ups. I have entered the data of my employees' birthdays, but it's not displaying on the respective day. Please guide me on how to proceed further.

Hey Reena,

You can use Excel format for tracking birthdays and anniversaries monthly. For example:

In January
Birthday Boy / Girl Birthday Anniversary
A 1/01/2000
B - 3/01/2000
