Promotion announcement email
When there’s a promotion in the workplace, there will be some bitter employees and there will be one particularly happy employee. Whether or not you have told the employee of their promotion is irrelevant to writing this letter because it needs to go out to the general work place regardless. Usually this is sent to the team that’s involved with the employee to let them know that they have a new manager or supervisor.
Starting to Write
The promotion announcement email should be short and to the point, so start off by stating the person’s name and announcing that they are receiving a promotion.
Tell the recipient what job they were previously in and what new job they will be taking.
If the recipient is going to be under the command of the newly promoted employee, clarify that.
Ask the recipients to contact you if there are any questions or concerns.
