Common questions
When should I give a retirement card to a colleague?‹
Aim to give it during their last week at work, ideally at a farewell gathering or on their final day. This timing makes the gesture personal and timely.
Should I include a gift with the retirement card?‹
It's thoughtful but optional. If you do, choose something small like a gift card for coffee, a book, or a plant. The card with a heartfelt message is the most important part.
What if I wasn't close to the retiring colleague?‹
Keep it professional yet warm. A simple wish like 'Wishing you a wonderful retirement' works perfectly. It acknowledges the occasion without being overly personal.
