Track upcoming work anniversaries

Go to Recognition → Service milestone. Upcoming celebrations is the first tab. You can open it even if you can’t change milestone awards.

The list shows employees whose yearbook is open and whose anniversary is between tomorrow and 7 days from now. That matches when yearbooks open by default, about a week before the day. Anniversaries without a yearbook, and anniversaries that are today, aren’t listed. Some companies use a longer window, and the heading above the cards says which one you have, for example Upcoming celebrations in 7 days.

The cards under Invitations and messages for upcoming anniversaries count invitations and messages for those same anniversaries, not since your company started. Messages-to-invitations ratio (%) can go above 100, because one person can write more than once.

The list

Upcoming work anniversaries shows When, Employee, Years of service and Messages. Messages is the number of messages written so far. Select View invitations next to it to see how many people were invited. Search by name, email or years of service.

Select Download list for a CSV of the list, with the anniversary date, name, email, years of service and yearbook messages.

Open the three-dot menu at the end of a row for three more options:

• View invitations shows how many invitations were sent automatically and how many were sent by employees.
• View messages shows the messages written so far.
• Download messages saves that person’s messages as a CSV, with each writer’s employee ID, email and name, the message and the message type.

Post a message for someone else

If a colleague asks you to add their message for them, open View messages for the person celebrating. Under Post on behalf of an employee, search for the colleague (type at least 2 characters), write the message and select Post message. It shows that colleague as the author in the recognition feed and in the yearbook, not you.

If something goes wrong

• “Upcoming anniversaries could not be loaded.” Select Try again.
• “The full list could not be loaded, so some anniversaries may be missing.” Reload the page before you rely on the list or download it.
• “Messages could not be downloaded” Try Download messages again.
• Someone is missing from the list. Check that their anniversary is in the next 7 days, that their date of joining is in your employee data, and that their milestone award includes a yearbook. People who turned off work anniversary posts in their profile don’t get a yearbook, so they aren’t listed.
