A work anniversary card the whole team signs

One year, five years, twenty. Most work anniversaries pass with an automated message from HR. This one gets a real card. Share one link, teammates add what they appreciate about working with them, and it opens on the anniversary date with gold stars, a fanfare and a cat wearing a medal.

what to write

What to write in a work anniversary card

One specific thing about working with them beats a general congratulations. Small and true wins.

Happy work anniversary! Five years of your calm in every incident call. We would have panicked a lot more without you.

One year in and you already know where everything is, including the things we lost. Here is to many more.

Ten years. You have outlasted four reorganizations, three logos and two coffee machines. Thank you for staying.

Happy anniversary! Working with you has made me better at my job and worse at keeping a straight face in meetings.

Another year of you saying "I'll take that one" when nobody else would. Thank you for every single time.

Congratulations on the work anniversary. The team you built is the reason I stayed.

Happy work anniversary to the person who wrote the runbook everyone still uses. Legend status confirmed.

Three years ago you joined and asked where the good pens were. You are now the keeper of the good pens. Congratulations.

three tips

Three tips for organizing a work anniversary card

TIP 1

Check the start date, then start two weeks early

Look up the real hire date so the card opens on the right day. Share the signing link about two weeks before, when people's calendars are still open.

TIP 2

Ask for one thing they appreciate

Give signers a prompt: one specific thing about working with this person. Good anniversary messages are small and true, not grand.

TIP 3

Open it on the anniversary morning

Schedule the card for 9 AM on the date. If the day falls on a weekend, open it the Friday before or the Monday after, whichever the team is around for.

It opens with a fanfare

They tap the envelope, a fanfare plays, gold stars twinkle, and the messages arrive one by one.

questions

Work anniversary card questions

Can a work anniversary card be for one year, or only big milestones?

Any year works. One year is often the one people remember most. The card front says Happy Work Anniversary, and the number of years goes in the messages.

Can it open exactly on their hire date?

Yes. Choose the date and time when you start the card. Until then the envelope stays sealed and talks back if someone taps it early.

Can their manager add an award?

Anyone who signs can pin an award to their message: one of 20 presets, such as Spreadsheet Wizard or Reply-All Hero, or a custom one of up to 40 characters.

Do people need an account to sign?

No. Anyone with the signing link can write a message in a minute. Only the organizer gets a private management link.

Can we make one every year?

Yes. Each card is separate and free while we launch. Sent cards stay up for 12 months after they open, so last year's card is still readable when the next one arrives.
