If you're working in an office that celebrates anniversaries at 5 years and beyond, you likely will also find few Millennials getting any recognition.
What would it be like if you celebrated every year, especially the first? Could you imagine waiting until five years before celebrating a marriage?
No wonder Millennials move on to better organizations quickly.
Similarly, working with clients takes constant courtship. Celebrating milestones and showing appreciation is a great way to keep the romance.
I have an excel sheet that tracks every every client by month and reminds me when milestones approach. It also reminds me how great it is to see a client work with us for months on end and how sad it is to see one go.
If you incorporate these two concepts into your organization it stands a much greater chance of excellence than many other 'important' technical tasks.
