Common questions

What should I write in a farewell card for a close colleague?

For a close colleague, focus on personal anecdotes, specific contributions they made, and how they impacted you. Express genuine sadness at their departure but also excitement for their future. Don't forget to offer to stay in touch!

How do you wish a colleague good luck professionally?

Instead of a generic 'good luck,' personalize it. Mention their strengths and how those will ensure their success. For example, 'Your incredible skills and dedication will undoubtedly lead to great things in your new role,' or 'I know you'll excel and inspire in your next chapter.'

Is it okay to include humor in a farewell message?

Yes, if appropriate for your relationship with the colleague and your workplace culture. A touch of lighthearted humor can make a heartfelt message more memorable and reflect your unique bond, but always prioritize sincerity and respect.
