Writing A Thank You Message To Boss Tips

Here are some general tips for when you want to thank your boss with a thank you note or thank you email.

Simple can be okay. If your boss sends you an appreciation email or tells you in person, a simple reply of “Thank You” may be enough. The examples below will be longer messages as I imagine different situations when a boss may express appreciation.
Don’t compare. Don’t make unfavorable comparisons to other bosses. For example, don’t write, “You are so much better than John as a boss.”
Compliments are good! As long as you feel they are true to your relationship with your boss, you can include compliments like you’re a great boss, a supportive boss, an amazing boss, etc.
Be specific . The examples below are based on hypothetical situations, so if you can be more specific, your note may be perceived as better (you can also review my 9 tips for writing a better thank-you note.
Spelling Matters. Be sure to spell your boss’s name correctly. Is it John or Jon?
Read them all. Read through all of the examples for inspiration. If you are copying and pasting into an email, you could combine bits for different examples. Words like project, process, program, or position could be replaced with what is relevant to your situation.
Email or Hand-deliver. It’s not appropriate etiquette in most workplaces to ask your boss for their home address. Write your message in an email, or if you are writing a handwritten note, hand the boss the notecard or leave it on their desk.
Free PDF Cards . If you want a quick, printable card for a handwritten note, there are some thank your boss printable cards here.

Be timely. Proper manners are to send a thank-you card within a few days after receiving a gift or attending an event. You don’t want to send your letter weeks after the event because that could be considered rude.

Be professional. While you should be professional in your letter, you can match your tone and wording to your relationship. If you have a more relaxed relationship with your boss, you can be more laid back, but if you have a professional relationship with them, it’s best to stay formal/

When to send a thank-you note to your boss

You should send a thank-you note to your boss when they do you a personal favor, after a promotion or raise, or after they announce they are leaving. Below are more reasons to send a thank you note to your boss:

If they do you a personal favor. This could include anything from letting you leave early, giving you extra days off, or helping you out with something outside of work. Sending a letter for any of these things can show your appreciation for their help.

If they gave you a promotion or raise. While the raise itself came from the company, your boss probably advocated and couched for why you deserve the raise.

If they help you out with something. This could be anything from a work project or helping you solve a problem.

If they announce they are leaving the company. This happens from time to time and it can be a good idea to show your appreciation for all that they did. This is especially important if you loved your boss.

If you are leaving the job. Writing a thank you letter to your boss when leaving a job can be a great way to solidify your good relationship with them. Let them know how much you appreciate them and their investment in you — especially if you want to show them that you aren’t leaving because of them.

What is the best way to send a thank-you note to your boss

The best way to send a thank-you note to your boss is sending a handwritten note or an email. Below is a more detailed list of the different ways you can send a thank you letter to your boss:

Handwritten notes. By far, the best way to send a note of appreciation is a handwritten note. There’s something so heartfelt about seeing words of kindness in a card. It feels personal and special. Plus, they can save your note for something to look back at later for memory’s sake.

Email. Sending a thank-you note to your boss via email is less formal, but means that they will get it right away in their inbox. Because it’s less formal, it’s best to send a thank you email for a smaller gift or act of kindness.

Text. It’s best to save a text thank-you for a message that is short and more personal. It’s more appropriate for small gifts or acts of kindness. Such as “Thanks for buying coffee today. I appreciate it.” Sometimes you can send a text as an immediate thank you and follow up with a handwritten note.

Letter. Writing a thank you letter allows you to take time and say things precisely in the way you’d like. It’s something your boss can hold onto. Sending it snail mail has more impact than setting it on your boss’s desk.

Benefits of having a great boss

When you have a nice boss, it makes work so much more enjoyable and it makes you want to work harder. Here are some other benefits of having a great boss:

You want to work harder.

You are excited about the work you do.

Work is more meaningful.

Great leaders help you grow in your skills too.

You feel understood and supported.

Provide a great example to follow.

Thoughtful ways to recognize you for your accomplishments.

You feel supported professionally and personally, too.

Professional Thank-You Letters to a Boss

When to Thank Your Boss

Tips for writing an appreciation note, appreciation letter and email samples, formal thank-you letter example, sample appreciation email messages, sample written thank-you note, frequently asked questions (faqs).

Everyone likes to feel appreciated—even the boss. So, when your manager does something particularly helpful or meaningful, take the time to say thank you with a letter of appreciation. It's a nice, polite thing to do, and most likely, your boss will appreciate the gesture. It may even increase the chances they’ll go above and beyond for you in the future.

The best part is you don’t need to write a lengthy letter to express your thanks. Even a quick email message works well to let your manager know that their support is appreciated.

Here's information on when and how to say thank you to your manager, with examples of the best way to relay your appreciation to your boss.

Key Takeaways

A thank-you email or note can have more of an impact than a conversation because you took the time to write.
Thank-you notes can be sent via email or by formal printed letter. Alternatively, a handwritten card can add a personal touch.
Be specific when you write your thank-you note so the recipient is clear about why you're writing.
Your thank-you note or email should be brief and to the point.

Melissa Ling / The Balance

Here are some situations where a thank-you message is appropriate:

Lends a hand. If your manager offers you resources or helps solve a problem (e.g., hires a part-time staffer to help on a project, secures a new piece of technology, or even participates in a joint brainstorming session).

Does a personal favor. Maybe your boss allows you extra leave time or is understanding with days off even though you're taking them during a busy season. Perhaps your boss connects you with someone in your field who can help further your career, or takes some time to provide you with personal mentorship or advice.

Gives you a promotion, raise, or bonus . While the extra money or promotion comes from the company's coffers, most likely your boss advocated for you to receive it.

Provides an opportunity for advancement. It's not only a raise or promotion that deserves appreciation; your boss sets you up for those measures of success by funneling important projects and initiatives in your direction. Without that trust in your abilities, it's harder to show off your talents.

Coordinates a collection for you or a family member. It isn’t unusual for good bosses to “pass the hat” for contributions when an employee experiences either a happy personal event (such as a wedding, graduation, or birth of a child) or a sad transition (like the death of a family member). When this happens, it is more than appropriate to send a thank-you note to your boss, along with a request that he or she pass your thanks on to all of those who contributed.

Announces they are leaving either your division or the company. If your boss announces that they are leaving your division (through promotion or reassignment) or is leaving your employer (because of retirement, a new job, or a layoff), this is a wonderful time to write a sincere note that expresses your gratitude for the things they have done for you.

If your boss is moving on, remember to wish them success in their new endeavors.

When you’re moving on. Similarly, you may want to send your boss a letter of appreciation when you leave the department or when you leave the company entirely.

Be sincere. When you are writing to your boss to express gratitude and appreciation , you have to be careful with your tone. You want to make sure you appear sincere—and not like a sycophant.
Be specific. In your letter, mention why you're writing and provide a specific thank you. For example, "Thank you so much for organizing my baby shower and for your generous gift," or "I'm so appreciative of this end-of-year bonus."
Be brief. There's no need to write a lengthy note—keep your message short and to the point. The most important thing is to express your appreciation. Include a complimentary close at the end of your letter before your name. Proofread carefully.

You can send your note as a handwritten card, printed-out letter, or email. Review sample appreciation letters and emails to use as inspiration when you write your own thank-you letter for your boss.

Thank you for your confidence in me.

Subject: Thank you!

Dear Ryanna,

Thank you so much for the generous gift for my new son, Oliver. My husband and I were so delighted to receive the adorable outfits and toys, and I was so touched by the card. Please pass along my appreciation to the whole product team.

See attached for a photo of Oliver in one of the new outfits. Thank you again for this generous, thoughtful present. I'm enjoying my time home with my new child but also looking forward to returning to the office and thanking everyone in person.

Dear Kusam,

Thank you so much for the promotion and the opportunity to spearhead the new project. I appreciate your trust in me and you offering me the responsibility; it’s an honor.

The new project will be an exciting endeavor for my team. We’ll keep you informed of our progress, and I’m confident you’re going to like the end results.

What’s the best way to send a thank-you note?

When you want the recipient to know that you appreciate them, the quickest way is to send an email message. Sending a handwritten note card shows that you’ve taken the time to put some extra effort into showing your appreciation. Another option is a formal letter expressing your gratitude.

How should you say thank you to colleagues who helped you at work?

When colleagues help you out at work, they'll appreciate being recognized for their assistance. To say thank you at work , you can send individual emails or send a group message to your team if you're a team leader.

There are many ways to show someone that you appreciate them. You can buy them a gift. You can write them a thank-you note. And in some cases, you can give a speech in their honor. There are plenty of occasions when you may find yourself in a position to give an appreciation speech.

Jump ahead to these sections:

Steps for Writing an Appreciation Speech

Sample Appreciation Speeches

If you’re graduating from high school or college, you might give a speech thanking friends and family members for their support.

If you own a business, you might tell your employees “ thank you for your support ” as part of a speech. Speeches can also be a great way to say “ I appreciate you ” to the people in your life who support you.

Here, we break down the steps that go into crafting an excellent appreciation speech. We also include excerpts of speeches from an assortment of occasions and audiences to draw inspiration from.

Steps for writing an appreciation speech

Step 1: Know Your Audience — And Your Place

Your speech will depend on a variety of factors. But the most important ones to consider are the setting and the crowd. If your speech is a casual toast between friends over a bottle of wine, it will be a lot more casual.

You can rely on personal anecdotes and the language you use will be more personal. If you’re giving a formal speech in front of colleagues though, your tone will be very different. Your speech will be a lot more structured and concise.

Step 2: Create an Outline

Whether your appreciation speech is long or short, it’s always a good idea to craft an outline ahead of time. This will help you make sure you don’t forget to mention anything you want to cover. Overall, most speeches will break down like the following:

Introduction: In an introduction, you will let the audience know who you are and give a preface of what you plan to say. For instance, if you’re recognizing a specific person in an appreciation speech, give a quick rundown of why they’re worthy of appreciation.
Body: Here, you’ll flesh out the points you made in your introduction. You can give more specific examples of things the subject of your speech has done, and you’ll expand on why those actions deserve gratitude.
Conclusion: In this final section, you can reiterate the points you made earlier in the speech.

Step 3: Grab People’s Attention with Gratitude

Start with a strong opening line. In a more formal speech, a quote about gratitude can be an excellent way to set the tone. In a more casual speech, you can avoid a quote. However, you should still stick with the theme of gratitude.

Step 4: Be Personal and Specific

In casual and formal speeches alike, you should feel free to be specific. If you’re giving a speech in honor of one person, you can list all of the things they do that deserve appreciation. If you’re thanking other people for their support, you can list the ways they helped you.

Personal anecdotes are a lot more engaging for listeners. They will also help you feel more connected to your material. The more connected you feel, the more confident you’ll be in speaking. These personal anecdotes can be funny, poignant, or a blend of the two. Again, this will largely be dictated by your audience and the setting of your speech.

Step 5: Practice Makes Perfect

For a casual speech like an appreciation toast, you can probably get away with speaking off the cuff. But any kind of pre-planned appreciation speech definitely benefits from repeated practice.

The more comfortable you are with the speech, the easier it will be for you to deliver it. If you don’t know your speech inside and out, there’s a good chance that you can be tripped up by certain words or turns of phrase.

Step 6: Time Yourself

When you’re practicing your speech, you should also be timing yourself. This means you should have a stopwatch going while you read your speech aloud. Speeches can be deceptive.

A few pages don’t seem like they should take that long to read. If you only read them over in your head, that can reinforce the notion that your speech isn’t that long. But it takes a lot longer to read something aloud than it does reading it to yourself.

If you don’t practice it out loud ahead of time, you may panic in the middle of your actual delivery. If you fear your speech is taking too long, you might start to read faster and faster, which could make the speech incomprehensible. Practicing it out loud can help you hit your ideal time target without having to rush.

Step 7: Keep Your Notes Handy

Even if you’ve practiced your speech until it’s practically etched into your brain, you always want to keep notes or an outline with you. No matter how much you practice, you may find yourself freezing up in the moment. If you don’t have notes handy, you might flounder. On the other hand though, you also shouldn’t keep your whole speech with you.

If you do, you might find yourself relying on it like a security blanket. You may end up just reading the whole speech straight from the paper without engaging with your audience at all. Both ends of the spectrum are too extreme, so it’s best to find a happy medium. Some people just keep their outline with them.

Other people write out the first sentence of each paragraph to jog their memory and help them orient themselves. As you practice, you’ll find the method that works best for you.

Step 8: Do a Test Run in Front of an Audience

Practicing for a speech on your own is important. But once you feel more comfortable with the speech, you should practice in front of someone. Ideally, you’ll rehearse it in front of people several times until you can keep your nervous responses in check.

This means delivering the speech without your heart racing and your speech speeding up to match.

Step 9: Weed Out Any Trouble Spots

Every time you practice your speech, you should be refining it until you can’t improve it any further. One of the big things you should be looking out for is your usage of filler words or speech disfluencies.

Speech disfluencies encompass those little noises like “um”, “er”, and “uh” that we tend to use when we aren’t confident. These can make people tune out because your discomfort makes them feel awkward in turn.

As you practice, pay attention to places where you’re inserting those disfluencies. Keep practicing them until you become comfortable enough to leave them out. Or, rewrite those sections so they come to you more naturally.

Step 10: End On a Good Note

Above all else, remember that this speech is intended to be a positive thing. An appreciation speech should make someone’s day .

Remember to end the speech by reaffirming specifically why you are showing appreciation.

Now that we’ve gone into what makes a good appreciation speech, let’s see some examples. These are just excerpts from longer speeches, but they may help demonstrate the sort of content you might be looking for.

Example of appreciation speech for graduation

“As I look around at all my classmates, I realize how much I appreciate you all. Many of us have relied on each other to make it through school and to our graduation day. We supported each other during tough times. We used each other’s examples to fuel us towards getting better grades. When someone was in danger of not graduating, we pulled together to get everyone to the finish line. We all owe a lot to our families for their support. But we should also be sure to appreciate ourselves.”

Example of appreciation speech for friends

“I’d like to take a moment to raise a glass in appreciation for Bethany. Everyone here has one thing in common — Bethany’s friendship. She has always had an uncanny knack for finding people in need of a community and bringing us together. From there, we’ve been able to find the other things that connect us. But if it weren’t for Bethany, most of us would have missed out on enriching, life-changing friendships. Bethany — here’s to you!”

Example of appreciation speech for employees or a boss

“As the year draws to an end, I’m proud to announce that it’s the company’s strongest year yet. We have grown by leaps and bounds and still managed to maintain profitability. Our client satisfaction scores have never been higher. And each and every one of you has played a role in our success.

"I want to thank our sales division for going above and beyond in meeting our clients’ needs. I want to thank our marketing department for creating materials that are very transparent about our mission. I want to thank the managers for leading their divisions by example. I could stand up here and tell you a half dozen things I appreciate about every person in this room, but I’m sure you’re all ready to hit the buffet line. So I’ll conclude by saying that I appreciate all of your contributions, and am so proud to be on a team with each and every one of you.”

Example of appreciation speech for mom, dad, grandma, or grandpa

“Hello everyone! I’d like to thank all of you for coming here today in celebration of Grandma Joy and Grandpa Bill’s 50th wedding anniversary. As most of you know, I’ve never had a relationship last more than a year. Fifty years is an absolutely mind-boggling level of commitment to someone like me.

"There are so many reasons to love and appreciate Joy and Bill. There’s all the basic grandparent stuff. Joy taught me how to make amazing cookies and Bill taught me how to change a tire. But they also took me in when my home life was less than ideal. And when they realized some of my friends also had difficult lives at home, they opened up their den as a safe space. On any given day, you could find at least two or three misfit teenagers sleeping on their fold-out couch.

"Grandma and Grandpa, I’ll never be able to let you know how much I appreciate you. I know you probably don’t think you even did anything special. But you have made so many lives worth living thanks to your compassion and generosity. Thank you for always being there for others, just like you’ve been there for each other for five decades.”

Show People You Appreciate Them Through Meaningful Speeches

There are many ways to show gratitude . An appreciation speech is just one of them. Whether you’re giving a short toast or a lengthy speech, you can communicate your gratitude for someone.

These steps and examples should help you craft an excellent speech. Ultimately though, just remember to be sincere and personal. That’s the real key to successfully showing appreciation.

A well-crafted thank-you email to your boss can strengthen your professional relationship, show appreciation for guidance or support, and leave a positive impression on your boss.

There are a few common scenarios where a thank you email to your boss might be necessary:

Receiving a promotion or bonus
Benefiting from your boss’s support during a challenging project
Your boss taking the time to mentor or coach you
Being given extra responsibilities or a new role

For each scenario, you should customize your email to emphasize the specific action for which you are grateful. Include how their support has impacted your work or personal growth. For example:

Subject: Thank You for the Promotion Dear Ms. Johnson, Thank you for the recent promotion to Senior Marketing Specialist. I appreciate your confidence in my abilities and am committed to meeting the increased expectations and responsibilities of this new role. Your ongoing guidance has been instrumental in my growth, and I look forward to continuing to learn from you. Sincerely, Your Name

If your boss has supported you during a difficult project, you can write:

Subject: Thank You for Your Support on the (…) Project Dear Mr. Thompson, I wanted to thank you for your guidance and support during the (…) project. Your expertise and suggestions helped me navigate the challenges and deliver a successful outcome. I genuinely appreciate your willingness to lend a hand, and I look forward to applying the skills you’ve shared with me in future projects. Best regards, Your Name

Part 1 Crafting Your Thank You Message

Starting with a friendly greeting.

Begin your thank-you message with an appropriate greeting that addresses your boss in a professional yet warm manner. You can use their first name if you have a close relationship or a more formal title, such as Mr., Mrs., or Dr. , followed by their last name, if necessary. For example:

Dear [Boss’s First Name],
Hello [Boss’s First Name],

Expressing Gratitude Clearly

Once you’ve established your friendly greeting, move on to expressing your gratitude. Be clear and concise about what you’re thankful for. This can range from expressing appreciation for their guidance or assistance in a specific project, their leadership style, or their support in your professional development.

Thank you for your help with [Project Name].
I am grateful for your support during [specific situation].
I truly appreciate your guidance and encouragement.

Maintaining Professionalism

Always start with an appropriate greeting
Clearly express your gratitude
Highlight specific contributions made by your boss
Maintain a professional tone throughout your message

Part 7 Thank-You Email Structure and Format

Subject line importance.

Crafting a clear and concise subject line is essential to ensure your email gets noticed by your boss. Keep it simple and straight to the point, mentioning the purpose of your email. For example, you can use “Thank You for the Promotion” or “Appreciation for Your Support on Project (…).”

Body of the Email

The body of your thank you email should address three main points:

Express gratitude : Start your email by expressing your gratitude in a warm and sincere manner. For instance, you can say “Thank you for the opportunity to work on Project (…)” or “I truly appreciate your support during the conference.”
“Your guidance on the marketing strategy has been invaluable.”
“Your encouragement and faith in my abilities have boosted my confidence.”
“Thanks to your mentorship, the project was completed on time and exceeded client expectations.”
“With your support, I’ve been able to improve my sales numbers significantly.”

Closing Your Email Professionally

To close your email, use a professional farewell that maintains a friendly tone. Options include “Best regards,” “Sincerely,” or “Warm regards.” After your closing line, add your full name and any necessary contact information.

Part 8 Timing Your Thank-You Email

Sending a thank you email to your boss should be done promptly, but there are specific time frames you should consider depending on the scenario. Ideally, you want to send the email when it will have the most impact and convey your genuine appreciation.

After a meeting or presentation: Send your thank-you email within 24 hours. This is ideal because the meeting or presentation is likely still fresh in both your and your boss’s mind. For example, you can thank your boss for providing valuable insights during the meeting or for supporting your presentation.
Following a promotion or a raise: Express your gratitude within a couple of days after receiving the good news. This allows you to show your appreciation in a timely manner, while also giving you a chance to compose a well-thought-out email. For instance, you can mention how grateful you are for the opportunity to grow in your role and for their trust in your abilities.
After receiving help or advice: Much like after a meeting or presentation, sending a thank you email within 24 hours is appropriate in this case. Your boss will appreciate your prompt acknowledgement of their assistance. Make sure to mention how their help has benefited you, whether it’s solving a problem or providing career guidance.
Celebrating a milestone or a major accomplishment: Wait until the project is complete, and then send your thank you email within a few days. This way, you can both celebrate the success and express your gratitude for their support and guidance. Be sure to highlight the specific role your boss played in helping you achieve the milestone.

It’s best to tailor the timing based on your unique situation and working relationship with your boss. Just make sure to be genuine in expressing your appreciation, regardless of when the email is sent. Sending a timely, well-crafted thank you email can help strengthen your professional relationship, and make your boss feel truly appreciated.

50 Meaningful Employee Appreciation Messages to Celebrate Your Staff

January 12, 2024

Recognizing employees’ hard work and contributions is key to fostering a supportive and productive workplace. Studies show that employee recognition, whether big or small, has a significant impact on employee morale, job satisfaction, and more.

Yet, despite these significant benefits, research reveals that a large majority of organizations (83%) are not recognizing their employees frequently. Likewise, Zippia reports that 29% of employees haven’t received recognition for good work in over a year. These stats highlight a clear need for increased and consistent employee appreciation in the workplace.

From holiday greetings to the team, to individual messages celebrating specific achievements, or even a quick note to uplift an employee, a few words of appreciation can be highly impactful on employee engagement and productivity.

Read on for 50 meaningful employee appreciation message examples, 10 motivational quotes to include in your messages, and key insights on how to effectively express gratitude to your staff.

Understanding Employee Appreciation and Recognition

Why is it important to show appreciation to employees? Simply put, employee appreciation and recognition are all about acknowledging the hard work and dedication employees put into their roles and organization daily – and employees need recognition to thrive in the workplace.

In fact, studies show that employee recognition and appreciation have a significant impact on engagement, trust, and retention rates:

66% of highly recognized employees agree that they trust their everyday team members ( Gallup ).
Employees who are recognized are 6x more likely to stay at their jobs than those who aren’t ( Zippia ).
Employee recognition increases employee engagement, productivity, and performance by 14% ( Deloitte ).

When employees feel that their contributions are valued by their company, they are more likely to be content and fully engaged in their work, reinforcing their sense of purpose within the organization. This leads to a workforce that is both productive and engaged, which sets the organization up for success. Ultimately, a recognized and engaged staff translates to increased productivity, creating a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

How to Write a Good Employee Appreciation Message

Writing a good employee appreciation message seems like a simple task, however it can be quite challenging. Sometimes, it can be difficult to find the right words, and other times, the tone may not feel quite right. Here are some key pointers for creating an impactful employee appreciation message:

Sincere: Start by clearly stating the purpose of your message – to thank the employee for their hard work and dedication.
Specific: Be specific about what you are thanking them for, whether it’s completing a challenging project, consistently meeting deadlines, or contributing positively to the team dynamic.
Personalized: You can personalize your message by mentioning qualities or contributions that are unique to the individual. This level of detail shows that you are paying attention to and value their specific role in the company.

Remember, appreciation messages do not always need to be formal. A casual note or a heartfelt conversation can be just as meaningful. The key is to convey genuine gratitude in a way that aligns with your company culture and your relationship with the employee.
