Why this matters
Every work anniversary is a choice an employee made — to stay, to grow, to invest in your company when they could have gone somewhere else. Automated milestone recognition makes sure those choices are always acknowledged, even when HR teams are stretched across multiple countries and hundreds of employees.
Fully automated
Set the rules once. Anniversaries, birthdays and milestones fire without manual input.
Personalised messages
Each recognition includes the employee's name and the specific milestone. Not generic.
Escalating values
Set higher reward values for longer tenure — 1yr at $50, 5yr at $200, 10yr at $500.
Multi-country
One rule set covers all markets. Each employee recognised in their local currency.
How it gets used
Real moments this covers
1-year anniversary
The most critical retention milestone. Acknowledged before the employee starts questioning whether they made the right choice.
5-year long service
Half a decade of loyalty deserves more than a LinkedIn notification. A physical card loaded with real value.
Day 30 onboarding
First month complete. Recognition that confirms the new hire made the right choice — before they decide otherwise.
Day 90 onboarding
The probation milestone. Recognition that signals permanence and belonging.
Birthday recognition
Arrives on the day, every year, automatically. Never missed because someone forgot to update the calendar.
10 and 25-year tenure
Long service awards that are physically delivered, personally written, and permanently memorable.
Step by step
How it works
01
HR sets milestone rules
Define which milestones trigger recognition, what value attaches, and what message template to use.
02
Platform monitors dates
Connected to your HR system or employee list. Milestones tracked automatically.
03
Recognition fires on the day
Employee receives their recognition via WhatsApp or email on the exact date.
04
HR gets the dashboard view

Delivered via WhatsApp — no app required
Milestone recognition is delivered to the employee's WhatsApp on the exact date — including for field staff, site workers and remote employees who don't check work email.
“We have 400 employees across six countries. Before this, work anniversaries got missed constantly. Now every single one is acknowledged on the day. The feedback has been overwhelming.”
