If its a big company. Unless theres a set process then its often better not to recognise unless its consistent.
Eg at my employer the other day a line manager got a cake and made a fuss for a relatively new starts birthday.
We all have birthdays so why does the new (young/pretty ) new start get a fuss? I could care less  for me but its the perception in a large employer with 50+ employees in my office alone
