How to write a client handover email
|
Hello Reader, Lots of people seem to be job hunting at the moment, or even simply moving around within the organisation because it’s that end of year sorting out time. If you or a colleague are leaving a role and thinking about how to manage transferring your client work to someone else, this is for you. It’s really important to do a smooth handover process, and there’s an email template in this article you can use to tell clients that you are moving on.

Hello Reader, Do you ever feel like you run out of time every single day? I do. My ‘top priority’ sticky note has 9 things on it. How is that prioritising anything?? I want to get my evenings back! Having said that, this is unusual for me. I used to struggle a lot more with managing my time – but over the last few years I’ve figured something out. Time passes regardless.
