Anniversary of Hiring Date: A Great Opportunity for Recognition

When I worked at Santa Clara University and University of the Pacific I kept a list of the hire dates of all the people who were part of my team (at SCU) or who worked in the library (at Pacific). On the date, I would give the person a hand-written note congratulating them on the milestone and thanking them - as specifically as possible - for their contributions to the team and the university.

I don't really know how my colleagues and co-workers responded - well, I hope - but I felt good for remembering that without their hard work and good cheer less would be accomplished and the workspace wouldn't be as pleasant.

Do you do something similar? If so, what?
