Etiquette for Thank-You Communications in the Workplace
When to Send a Thank-You Email to Your Boss
Expressing gratitude to your superior via email should be done within a timely manner. Ideally, send your thank-you note within 24 hours of receiving a specific favor or assistance. If you're acknowledging a more substantial support, such as a recommendation for a new job, it's acceptable to send your thank-you within 48 hours.
Thanking Your Employer for a Reference or Recommendation
When your boss has provided you with a reference or recommendation, it's important to express your appreciation in writing. You can choose to send either an email or a letter. If you opt for an email, keep it brief and professional. In your message, be sure to thank your boss for taking the time to write the recommendation and express how much you appreciate their support.
