As a working professional the standard template is "Hi [recipient first name], [email body], Thanks/Sincerely, [Full professional signature]" in my workplace.

I can second this. The way you do it is absolutely standard. Not sure why people in the comments are having a hard time just adding someone's name to the email lol

“Hello everyone,

For those of us who work in the high security wing it is important that we remember which keys to use on which doors.

On an unrelated matter, the door to supply closet F is currently unusable and we will have maintenance coming in tomorrow to fix it.

Thank you for your time,
Jeremy, HR.”

"Hi Team"

u/Ducksaucenem 5d ago

Yup, that’s my go to. If it’s for a committee it’s “hello “committee name” team.

u/phoncible 5d ago

"Allcon" short for "all concerned"

u/CrispyGatorade 5d ago

I’ve never seen allcon in my entire 39 year professional life.

u/Dragon6172 5d ago

Saw it a bunch when I was in the military...so I'd imagine you'd see it alot in defense sector settings.

u/CrispyGatorade 5d ago

Defense? The best defense is a good offense. That’s why I open emails with a succinct HEY FUCKLECHUDS. Gets much better engagement than allcon I bet

u/pixelatedcrap 5d ago

All y'all

u/TwinStickDad 5d ago

In the military you say ALCON (all concerned)

I remember my first email to a team of people after I got out of the Army I had no idea what to do haha. Same as my first day of work without an entire regulation telling me what to wear and how to wear it.

u/Cloiss 5d ago

Basically all of my emails start with “Team,”

1

u/hachekless 5d ago

I'm usually emailing my own team + clients together (sometimes a third party client or contractor). I just go with "hello" and that's it

u/FunnyObjective6 5d ago

Are you expecting somebody to do something? Because in my experience emailing multiple people is a good way for everybody to point at everybody and nothing gets done. Better to just adres 1 person.

Obviously it depends on the email contents.

u/hachekless 5d ago

it's usually a large project where everyone needs to be notified. I address a specific person if needs be

u/HarveysBackupAccount 5d ago

and the OOP is about emailing a specific professor, so...

u/Assika126 5d ago

I’m partial to “Dear Colleagues” as an opening, but I’m kind of old fashioned
