How to say thank you for being recognized at work

To say thank you for being recognized at work, you should thank your boss in person but also go the extra mile with a personal touch and write them a thank-you note to show just how much you appreciate their comments. Here are the steps to writing your boss a thank-you note for recognition:

• Figure out your boss's style

It is a good idea to determine your boss's style before you write them a thank-you note for recognition. You should take into consideration how formal your boss is.

• Choose a card

This also depends on your boss's distinctive style. You can choose a nice and tasteful thank-you card or something that contains humor.

• Greeting

Next, you should write an appropriate greeting. "Dear" is the most common and formal option, but you could also just choose to start off with your boss's first name, depending on how close you are.

• The body of your thank-you note

A good way to start is by expressing gratitude for the recognition and trying to go into a little bit of detail to let them know how appreciative you are and what it means to you. You might even want to touch on how you plan to shoot even higher in terms of performance.

• Conclusion

The last step in the writing process is to do a conclusion sentence. This one should not be too long but should encapsulate the gratitude and other information you included in the body of the note. Think of it as a summary.

• Closing phrase

To stick with formality it is customary to add a closing phrase before your signature. Some common options include:

• Sincerely

• Warm regards

• With appreciation

• Kind regards

• Thank you

After writing the closing phrase you can sign the note.
