Congratulations at Work

It builds camaraderie and a strong team spirit, promotes consistent project ownership, contributes to the employee’s job satisfaction, and encourages him or her to “keep up the good work.” These examples will give you a starting point for your notes and email messages.

Volunteering
Congratulating someone on volunteering is a nice touch. It's a way to recognize that the person is giving of his own time to help others, and can help to build a solid culture of volunteerism in your organization.
Whether you are sending a letter or an email, you might also carbon copy / CC the recipient’s supervisor, senior managers, or team members so that the recipient knows that his or her contributions have been noted and appreciated across your organization.
