Internal Promotion Announcement Email Template

Get PDF

Sending a promotion announcement email serves almost like an official record of the announcement. This allows employees a place and time to digest the news privately and to also come to terms with it, especially if they were pining for the promotion themselves. Naturally, the employee who got the promotion is going to want to talk about it so be sure to list all the reasons why that particular employee got the promotion – it’ll help quash any rumors or resentment.

What should you include in the promotion announcement email template?

While this promotion announcement email is rather formal, do try to add some energy and personality into what you’re writing! Keep a balance between the two, be congratulatory but professional. Definitely make sure to include the following:

  • Obviously reveal the employee’s name and when they’ll start the new role.
  • Offer a contact person for employees to direct questions to.
  • Ask your employees to join you in congratulating them!
  • Review the achievements and qualities of the promoted employee and add how long they have been working for the company.
