Workplace safety notes

What not to write

Keep public workplace messages warm, specific, and low-risk. Avoid jokes or assumptions that could feel personal in Slack, email, or a team card.

  • Do not joke about age, salary, layoffs, performance, politics, religion, health, personal life, alcohol, or appearance.
  • Do not imply the person is lucky to still have a job.
  • Do not make the message so personal that it feels uncomfortable in a workplace channel.
  • Do not use a milestone year unless you are sure it is accurate.

Frequently asked questions

A good short message thanks the person for their contribution, names the occasion, and keeps the tone professional enough for a public workplace channel.

Name the 10-year milestone, thank the person for a specific contribution, and keep the note professional enough for a card, Slack post, or team announcement.

Yes, they are generally used interchangeably. 'Service anniversary' tends to be used in more formal company contexts, such as an HR service award program or a milestone certificate, while 'work anniversary' is more common in daily conversation and team cards.

Yes. If your workplace uses service anniversary or years-of-service language, choose a message that names the contribution and, when accurate, the milestone year.

A work anniversary email should include the person's name, the occasion, a specific contribution or quality you appreciate, and a short closing that fits your relationship.

A work anniversary letter can be a little longer than a Slack note or card. Open with congratulations, recognize the person's contribution, name the value of their service, and close with sincere thanks.

Start with a service anniversary message, adapt it for Slack or email, use the same wording in a card, and link to the 10-year or 25-year pages when the milestone needs more specific language.

Only if the relationship and workplace culture support it. Avoid jokes about age, salary, performance, layoffs, or anything personal.

Keep it specific to the workplace. Mention the specific years of service, thank them for their ongoing contribution, and highlight the value they bring to the team or company.
