Appreciation email

It is good practice to reward employees whenever they do something significant for the organization. While monetary and material rewards go down very well, emails of sincere appreciation also play a major role in motivating employees and increasing their job satisfaction.

Good things to include in this type of email are:
● A summary of the good work the employee has done.
● Specific appreciative feedback on this work.
● Recognition of the significance of this work for the individual’s team and the wider organization.
● An indication of the company’s expectations from the individual going forward.
