Celebrate the milestone with a work anniversary video card
Whether it’s one year or twenty-five, a work anniversary deserves more than a calendar reminder. Joycards collects video messages from the team into one group card that says “we noticed, and thank you.”
Create a work anniversary card in 3 easy steps
-
Step 1: Record your video
Kick things off with your own message. Record with the built in tool or upload a clip from your device.
-
Step 2: Invite coworkers
Send the invite to teammates, managers and anyone they work with across the business, near or far.
-
Step 3: Share the joy!
Once the videos are in, send the card on their anniversary and watch the milestone get the attention it deserves.
A story-like experience
Joycards play like Stories on Instagram and Facebook, so they feel familiar from the first tap. No video editing, just the message.
Work Anniversary Card Creators
Create the card in a few minutes. There are no backgrounds, edits or music to worry about. Invite the team and let them do the talking.
Work Anniversary Card Recipients
Press play, sit back and watch each message one after the other. Every video is saved separately, so the best ones can be watched again and again.
Features you’ll love
Work anniversaries are easy to miss, especially on remote and hybrid teams. A video card is a simple way for everyone to pause and recognize the years someone has put in, without organizing a meeting or passing a card around the office.
Ideas for a standout work anniversary video
A little planning makes a work anniversary card feel personal, even on a busy team.
-
Look up the start date early
Check the anniversary date a few weeks out so you have time to collect videos without a last minute scramble.
-
Invite people from other teams
Ask the colleagues they help most, in sales, support or another office. Hearing from them shows the wider impact of their work.
-
Ask for a “then and now” moment
Invite people to share how the recipient has grown since they started, or a project that only happened because of them.
-
Match the card to the milestone
A first anniversary might be a few teammates. A 10 or 25 year milestone could include leaders, former coworkers and longtime clients.
-
Share it in a team meeting
Open the card together at the start of a meeting, then let them watch the rest privately.
Recognition that sticks
I received videos from friends and family from all over the world. It’s probably the most heart warming gift I’ve ever received. I was in tears after watching the videos.
