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 even for 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 the 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 school and college.
Because of queries of this kind, you may 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 members from this forum could come forward and start spoon-feeding. Little does this member realize that spoon-feeding promotes laziness in juniors.
Anyway, it's better to delete such requests than to 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 multinational 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 organizations I worked for, we developed templates, etc., for use by our staff to create efficiency. They were proprietary and confidential to our organization 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 organizations I worked for, NOT the organization the poster works for. As I point out time after time after time after time, NO two organizations are the same. Everything needs to be based and written on what people do in THEIR organizations, not what we did in MY organization.
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.
