Culture Cloud Anniversaries automatically emails team members and other connections with an invitation to write a personal note for upcoming career milestones. This relieves the burden on managers to send invitations. Automated invitations increase engagement by 48%.

Those celebrating an upcoming anniversary can invite colleagues to write a personal note, directly from their own profile page. This gives the celebrant more control over their own party, so they can prompt team members they would like to hear from.
