- Finish with a positive wish for their next chapter.

How to organize a group farewell card
When several coworkers want to say goodbye, collecting everyone’s messages can be a challenge. Choose one person to coordinate, share a single contribution link, and set a deadline.
Ask each team member for a short message or a favorite memory. For remote teams, a digital farewell card makes it easier for everyone to take part from wherever they work.
09
Make the farewell more personal with everyone’s voices
A written card is a thoughtful gift, but there is another way to make a coworker’s goodbye memorable: collect the messages in everyone’s voices.
With Voice Bouquet, team members record their messages from one link, and the departing coworker hears the voices of the people they worked with. It keeps the laughter and encouragement that made working together special.
