Most firms have regular department meetings already arranged. On the other hand, some ventures also have monthly town hall meetings that allow everyone to touch base.

In addition to that, it can also be a pleasant conclusion to a serious meeting. After discussing the monthly goals and other matters, the announcement can be a way to end things on a lighter note.

If you don’t have a big event coming up, no worries. You can schedule a gathering specifically to announce a promotion. It doesn’t have to be fancy or cost an arm and a leg. A simple cake celebration will usually suffice.
Simply gather everyone in a room, introduce the team member, and announce the reason for promotion. Afterward, let everyone congratulate their newly-promoted teammate and enjoy the cake.
