A promotion announcement done right.

  1. 01

    Tell them first

    The person should hear it from you, privately, before the company does. The announcement is the celebration, not the news.

  2. 02

    Say why

    One line on what they've done (led the launch, grew the team) makes the promotion feel earned, not arbitrary.

  3. 03

    Give the date

    "Effective Monday" answers who to go to for what, and when.

For team leads

New person on the team? Put them on the calendar from day one.

Forgot puts everyone's time off, public holidays in every country and your release dates on one calendar, so a new hire knows who's around in their first weeks, and you know when they are.

  • Send one link and your team adds their days off, no sign-up for them
  • Public holidays for every office, so a day off in London doesn't surprise New York
  • Who covers whom, right on the bar

Questions

How do you announce a promotion to employees?

Share who's been promoted, their new role, when it takes effect and one line on why it's deserved. End by inviting everyone to congratulate them. Send it by email for the company, or in Slack for the team.

What do you write to congratulate someone on a promotion?

"Congratulations on your promotion! You've earned this many times over." Add one thing you've seen them do well. Choose Congratulate in the generator.

Should promotion announcements go company-wide?

For managers and leadership roles, usually yes, so people know who to go to. For smaller step-ups, a post in the team channel is enough.

Can I make a promotion announcement image?

Yes. Switch to Image, add their photo and your logo, and download it to post with the message.

Is anything I type saved or sent?

No. The messages are written by hand and filled in in your browser. Your own name and company are remembered on this device so next time is quicker. Names, photos and signatures for the card never leave your browser.
