For the person who keeps track

Work anniversaries, remembered

Save each person's work anniversary in your own list. Greetigo emails you the day before and again on the day, so there is time to plan a card, a note or a thank-you.

Free holds up to 10 saved dates. Plus and Premium have no limit: Plus is US$4.99 a month or US$49.90 a year, with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers. See plans

Start your reminder list

How one manager keeps track

  1. 01

    Add the milestone

    Keep the employee and anniversary date in your private list.

  2. 02

    Receive the reminder

    The reminder comes to you; nothing goes to the employee automatically.

  3. 03

    Choose the recognition

    Coordinate a card, celebration, or a message that sounds like your team.

Which dates to save

A work anniversary is the date someone started. Save it once and Greetigo reminds you before it every year. Save the start year too, and Greetigo says which anniversary it is, on your dashboard and in the reminder email: "Tomás's 15th work anniversary is in 7 days". A first or a tenth may call for more than a message. You can add birthdays to the same list.

Add dates one at a time, or bring the spreadsheet you already keep with Add many at once: your own column names work, and a Start date or Hire date column comes in as work anniversaries. There is a sample sheet on the employee birthday tracker page.

When to be reminded

The reminder emails come the day before and on the day by default. You can pick on the day, or 1, 3, 7 or 14 days before, and more than one for the same date. The day before is enough for a message. A week before leaves time for a card that the team signs or a small celebration.

If you already missed one

Say it this week. Keep the apology to one line, name the number of years, and thank them for one specific thing they did. If it was a milestone and you're their manager, tell them privately first, then mark it with the team if your team usually does. A big public apology puts the attention on you instead of them.

If the date was saved in Greetigo, your dashboard keeps it in view for 3 days afterwards, under "Missed? It's not too late.", with a belated message ready to copy or send (with the year count, if you saved the start year). For words to use, see the late messages on work anniversary messages and belated anniversary wishes.

Reminders in Slack

Add to Slack is available. Greetigo then posts a short reminder to one Slack channel you pick, so the people who would sign a card know a work anniversary is coming. It posts whose date it is, the occasion and the day. It never posts your message and never messages the person. You still get the reminder email.

For managers

The list is yours: a Greetigo account belongs to one person. You decide what gets sent and when.

For culture leads

Use a simple reminder as the trigger for a group card, a message, or an in-person celebration that fits your workplace.

What Greetigo doesn't do

It doesn't sync with an HR system and it doesn't send anything to your team on its own. Each account is one person's list, not a shared company calendar. Free holds 10 saved dates; Plus and Premium have no limit. For what to write when the day comes, see work anniversary messages.

Questions managers ask

What should a work anniversary reminder include?

The date, which anniversary it is, and enough context to write something specific. Save the start date with its year and Greetigo counts the years for you: your lists say "15th work anniversary", and so do the reminder email and the message that comes with it.

What if I already missed someone's work anniversary?

Say it this week, privately or in the team channel, with one line about being late and one specific thing they did. If the date was saved in Greetigo, your dashboard shows it for 3 days afterwards with a belated message ready to copy or send.

Who receives a Greetigo work anniversary reminder?

Only the account owner receives the reminder. A teammate receives nothing unless you choose to send a greeting.

Can I use this for a team celebration calendar?

Yes, with one person keeping the list. Free holds 10 saved dates; Plus and Premium have no limit.

Does a work anniversary repeat every year?

Yes. Save the date someone started once, and Greetigo reminds you before it every year.

Can the reminder go to Slack?

Yes. Add to Slack is available: Greetigo posts a short reminder to one Slack channel you pick, with whose date it is, the occasion and the day. It never posts your message and never messages the person.
