Hi Everyone, Can anyone share an email template for publishing Holiday List in my company.

It's just an email, not a Jnanpith Award winning novel.
You only need to tell them that the holiday list is attached and to contact HR if anyone has any questions. Also put a copy of the list on the noticeboard. Job done. Don't overthink these things. Remember the KISS principle.
Simple things like this should be a no-brainer for an even a fresher in HR. Do you write emails to your friends and family?

Dear Mr John,
Though your comments are very straightforward, the straightforwardness does not lose essence of the comments.
I don't understand why the young HR professionals behave as if they were not taught how to write letters in the school and college days.
Because of the queries of this kind, you may a develop a wrong impression about the education system in India. No, this is not the case. We have a good education system. The requests put forth on this forum are exceptions.
The sad part is some senior member from this forum could come forward and start doing spoon feeding. A little do this member realises that spoon feeding promotes laziness in the juniors.
Anyway, better to delete such requests than promote a disservice to the HR profession as a whole.
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar

Thank you Dinesh.
May I hasten to reassure you that I don't have an adverse opinion of the Indian education system. We see many Indian people succeeding and thriving in business all over the world, and leading multi-national conglomerates. No-one gets to those positions by accident - and certainly not by being UNABLE to write a simple email :-)
My ongoing frustration with these sorts of questions is mainly based on the fact that people are becoming lazy - as you rightly point out. There is also an element out there in the HR community (and other disciplines as well) that believes there are "template letters, documents, processes etc" for everything. There is not. In all the organisations I worked for, we developed templates etc, for use by our own staff to create efficiency. They were proprietary and confidential to our organisation alone.
There are many questions on CiteHR that I could easily answer and provide a so-called "template". BUT, these were designed and used by the organisations I worked for, NOT the organisation the poster works for. As I point out time after time after time after time, NO two organisations are the same. Everything needs to be based and written on what people do in THEIR organisations, not what we did in MY organisation.
Agree about spoon feeding people. That is never going to work to advance the knowledge and skills of up and coming HR professionals. They will spend their entire career just asking other people to do their work for them, and then accept their salary for doing nothing. Nice work if you can get it!
As for deleting such emails, well, it's possibly a good idea, but not one Sid would be amenable to, I'm sure. :-)
Happy New Year to everyone on CiteHR.
