Work anniversaries

10-Year Work Anniversary Messages

Ten years at one company is rare in today’s job market. Someone who reaches it has usually become part of the organisation’s memory: they know why things are the way they are.

A ten-year card deserves the effort of inviting people from across those years — former managers, people who moved teams, even ex-colleagues. Their stories make the card.

How to write it

  • Invite people who worked with them early in their tenure.
  • Share a memory from years ago.
  • Thank them for what they’ve taught the organisation.
