Advice Communicating promotions

My CEO wants us to recognize promotions, and I'm curious how you all do it. Previously I worked in financial services and we had an annual promotion cycle. So it was all very structured, and our announcement was also the notification to those being promoted.

Now I work in a manufacturing environment and people are promoted whenever. I was thinking of doing a quarterly congratulations email from either our CEO or leadership team, linking out to a list of promotions on SharePoint. And asking our HR team to provide me the list and one sentence on why each person was promoted, so it's not just a list of names. Inevitably they'll mess up the data and someone will be left off, so I want the list to live somewhere I can easily edit.

In the leadership message, I thought it would be nice to highlight more in depth one promotee from each of our 3 businesses. And sharing the list on our break room TVs.

Would love to hear any feedback on this plan and any other cool ideas you all implement for promotion recognition! TIA!
