It's Your Work Anniversary is a customizable Celebration that sends recognition posts to users on their work anniversaries. Work Anniversary celebration posts appear in the main recognition feed, prompting everyone to add on, celebrate their teammates' milestones, and reflect on their successes during the past year! 🎉
The It's Your Work Anniversary Celebration comes preprogrammed with a recognition message and point amount. Before configuring the celebration, ensure your users' hire dates are set. Click here to learn how to add hire dates for your users.
Like all Celebrations, the It's Your Work Anniversary Celebration points come directly from the company, not an individual user’s allowance balance. This means there's no need to worry about managing allowances for the It's Your Work Anniversary Celebration.
