CIPD Annual Conference 2026
A recognition pilot you can run.
Conference ideas compete with the work waiting when you return. Start with one occasion, one organiser and one team, then decide whether it belongs in your calendar.
- 01
Choose the next real occasion
Use a leaving day, birthday or work anniversary that is already due. A real recipient gives colleagues a reason to write without inventing a company campaign.
- 02
Ask one team first
Invite people who know the recipient. A card from close colleagues is a clearer test than a company-wide request sent to people who have never worked together.
- 03
Look at the finished card
Read the sample before buying. Check how signed messages appear and how the recipient opens the card, rather than judging the idea from a list of features.
- 04
Review the moderation process
Check who can see flagged notes and who can restore one. On company cards, managers and admins review the spam folder before the card closes.
- 05
Choose whether to repeat it
For regular occasions, look at Slack invitations and BambooHR dates. Use a company account if this becomes part of your normal process.
The organiser’s list
Your first pilot.
Give the pilot an owner and a date. Judge it by whether the intended people could contribute and the recipient received the card.
- Name the organiser and the recipient.
- Choose a real date already on your calendar.
- Share the sample with the organiser.
- Read the AI checks and privacy information.
- Use the pricing page for current company plans.
AI safety checks
People write.
AI checks.
The check looks for threats, abuse, sexual content, spam and exposed private details. Flagged notes are kept off the card for a person to review.
How the checks work ↗A person can correct it
Company cards have a spam folder for managers and admins. On a card bought without an account, the creator reviews set aside notes through their manage link.
The limits are clear
AI can miss a note or flag one wrongly. If the check is unavailable, writing still works.
Check the data policy
Notes are sent to TypeSafe for the check. Names and card access codes are left out of that request.
Read the privacy notice ↗From an occasion to a card
Give them
everyone’s words.
- 01
Create the card
Pick a cover, name the recipient and choose when it opens. You can buy one card without a company account.
- 02
Share the writing link
Colleagues contribute in a browser. Each person writes and signs their own message.
- 03
They open it on the day
The messages arrive together in one card. The recipient reads it on their phone.
For repeated birthdays, work anniversaries, welcomes and leaving days, use a company account with Slack and BambooHR.
