Hi [name of employee],
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your hard work and contributions to [company name] over the past year. As you know, we've been through a lot of changes at the company, and I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude for your patience and perseverance in helping us navigate these changes.
This year was a big one for [company name]. We grew our revenue by 20% over last year, and we were able to hire some great new talent. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to bring in some much-needed fresh perspective to our team.
I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about some areas where you could continue to grow in your role. First, I'd like to talk about your communication style. You've done a great job at communicating with your team members and keeping them updated on new initiatives and changes, but I think it would be beneficial for you if you could also communicate with them about their individual performance. I know this can be hard because sometimes our team members are hard to reach, but it would be helpful if you could find a way to communicate with them regularly about their performance so that they know their contributions are appreciated and understood.
I'm looking forward to working with you next year!
Best,
[your name]
