What to write to a colleague who’s retiring?

Saying goodbye to a colleague who’s heading into retirement can be surprisingly emotional, especially when they’ve been part of the team for years or you had a special bond with them. If you're writing a message for a card or a goodbye email, the right words can make all the difference.

Keep your message warm, personal and positive

A retirement message doesn't have to be long but it should come from the heart. Start by thinking about what this person meant to you or to your team. Maybe they were the one who brought calm during chaos, always had a stash of emergency chocolate in their drawer, or simply made mornings brighter with a kind word or contagious laugh.

Tailor your message based on your relationship. Were they your mentor, your lunch buddy, or the one who could always fix the printer when IT was unavailable? Referencing specific memories or shared moments makes your message stand out and shows you truly valued them. If you’re still doubting what to write, here are some key points that you should include:

Acknowledge the milestone that retirement is. Congratulate them on this big life event and recognise the years of hard work behind it.
Highlight what they brought to the team like their expertise, responsibility or mention a big successful project
Tell them what will be missed like their guidance, positivity or their sense of humor
Look towards the future by wishing them joy, family time, exciting travel plans or happy gardening
