Employee Anniversary & Milestone Recognition System
A done-for-you HR automation built for the Culture and Engagement Manager, connecting Slack and Google Calendar so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every morning, this automation checks employee start dates against today's date, and the moment someone hits a work anniversary, it automatically notifies their manager and posts a personalized shoutout in the team's Slack channel, tagging the milestone (one year, five years, ten years) so the recognition feels specific rather than generic.
Anniversaries tied to a reward, an extra PTO day, a gift card, or a bonus, trigger that reward request automatically instead of relying on a manager to remember and submit it.
Milestones that used to get missed entirely or celebrated late with an apologetic "sorry this is a few weeks overdue" now get recognized on the exact day, every time, without HR maintaining a manual spreadsheet of dates.

Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, this falls entirely on a culture and engagement manager, who has to track every step by hand across emails, spreadsheets, and sticky notes.
With this automation
- Interview scheduling without email ping-pong
- New hire paperwork and account setup before day one
- Certification and license expiration alerts
- Timesheet and time-off workflows that route themselves
