One of the most important events in an employee’s career is their first day of work. There’s a constant conversation about making sure an employee is welcomed and made to feel a part of the company on Day One. 

Employee anniversary cards

Every year, employees remember their work anniversary.

 

Anniversaries are special and important events in a person’s life. Whether they are personal anniversaries or professional ones.

 

For just a second, think about what it would feel like if a special someone forgot your wedding anniversary or the anniversary of your first date. It might hurt. It would be disappointing. 

 

It could send the message that they don’t view the relationship in the same way you do. And celebrating the anniversary isn’t important.

 

Now, take that example to the workplace. How would you feel if the people you work with every day forgot your work anniversary? 

 

These are individuals you spend one-third of your time with. They showered a lot of attention on you Day One and now…meh.

 

Celebrating an employee’s work anniversary is a way of telling them they’re important. And the time they give to the company is important.

Why work anniversaries are important?

Work anniversaries should have the excitement of Day One

The goal of celebrating a work anniversary is to tell the employee that the company appreciates them as much today as they did on Day One.

 

Work anniversaries give employees the chance to reminisce

Anniversaries are times to remember the fun times, share some laughs, and even think about the goals that have been accomplished.
