Thank You Letter to Employee for Years of Service email template

Why does it matter?

It takes a lot for an employee to dedicate themselves to giving their all for the good of the company. And since it can get tiring for the employee at times, sending a letter of acknowledgement often goes a long way. It shows them that the company deeply cares about them and values them highly within the organization.

When to send?

Ideally, this email should be sent after a key milestone has been reached, such as the employee’s 3rd year anniversary at the company. It could also be sent when the employee appears tired after working on a difficult and highly-valuable task, as a form of acknowledgement and appreciation.

What to include?

• The anniversary date of the employee’s start date
• Words of appreciation for their key achievements

Please keep in mind that this is a template. You may change it to suit your company's voice and tone.
