We wish to "rush" to Hawaii, to the sea,
The heart did not know, forever, to grief!

So that life is only good for you,
Always positive, so that there is only a mood,
And rest, by no means, to be your "golden"!

Today I am resigning and leaving our friendly team. Dear colleagues, thank you for the warm and iridescent atmosphere, good cooperation, help and mutual support. I wish you to always stay in business, great success, good health and good mood.

Always worked diligently
Worked tirelessly
You have become more experienced
Now, let's sum it up:

Your work is impeccable
It's hard for you to find a replacement
You have always been human
Solved difficult problems.

Thank you for your service
For the contribution you have made
We really appreciate your friendship,
And the best, let it await you ahead!

Sometimes you have to say goodbye
Life is a continuous river
Can't stay anywhere
On without an account, for many centuries.

We lived together a lot
And work and everyday troubles.
And it happened to replace each other
I had to, or just bring lunch.

Thank you for your experience and support.
And for the views of kind warmth.
Let your work be appreciated by the authorities,
And the salary will make the dream come true!

At the farewell hour I want to say
Colleagues, thank you!
I will remember with love
About our team.

I say goodbye to you as a family,
As with relatives, relatives,
In trouble and always in joy
You were next to me.

And my dismissal
Let friendship not interfere
For you, colleagues, the door to the heart
I leave it open.

It was a pleasure to work with you
But labor went their separate ways,
Now everyone has their own worries
And we will have to go to them separately.

Colleagues, thank you very much.
For everyday life, and support, for advice,
I want everything to work out for you in life,
And they were all healthy up to a hundred years!

Thank you, dear colleagues,
For our team, for success!
What was supported, not abandoned,
Sometimes they understood without words!

Let me quit today
I was at ease with you
Thank you for our cooperation
It is a pity that you are an intermediate station!

My colleagues, together with you
It has always worked great.
In such a tight-knit team
Always easy and creative.

Thank you for everything that was
Each of you is dear to the heart.
Know that even dismissal
No reason to stop talking.

Life is changeable and amazing
And we have the power to change fate!
Today, colleagues, I will say convincingly
That I won't come to work.

I'll say thanks to you
For help, tips and just advice.
For being greeted with a smile and joy,
And the questions were always answered!

I'm leaving today with a sadness,
But I need to move on with my life.

And we will remember each other warmly!

Each employee of a large or small company over the years of work acquires connections in the team, becomes a useful and sometimes indispensable member in a well-coordinated personnel mechanism. All this requires compliance with the norms of corporate ethics from the company, promotion or when moving to another branch. One of the rules in such cases is the preparation of a farewell corporate letter for the team and management.

The tradition of writing farewell letters is widespread in European countries. In large organizations, each employee performs a specific function and interacts with employees from many other departments. In such cases, the letter will allow you to show respect, notify other employees of your departure and pass on business contacts so that there is no downtime.

Corporate Farewell letter will be required if an employee leaves the company or department in which he worked for a long time or permanently. An official farewell letter is drawn up in the following cases:

• dismissal from the company
• promotion to leadership position
• moving to a branch in another city
• well-deserved retirement

The longer the employee has worked in the team, the more established connections remain at the old place of work and, of course, it is simply impolite to leave simply and quietly in this case. A farewell letter is the best format for saying goodbye and notifying employees that a particular employee is leaving and a new specialist is taking his place.

Is it necessary to write such a letter at your workplace?

A farewell letter to colleagues is a formal farewell method and is more designed for large companies with a large number of employees and various departments, where not all employees have the opportunity to get to know each other personally.

In such cases, the letter is posted on the corporate blog, posted on a bulletin board, or read at a general meeting, depending on the reason for leaving.

For small offices and companies where no more than 10-20 people work, a farewell letter is not necessary and is used more as a formality at parting, remaining as a keepsake for employees. In a small team, you can independently say goodbye to each employee or arrange a farewell party.

In general, it all depends on the preferences and wishes of the departing employee, the traditions of the team, the presence or absence of the practice of writing farewell letters.

Reasons for writing a message

Writing a corporate farewell letter has several main goals:

• Express gratitude to colleagues with whom I had the opportunity to work during long term and who rightfully passed into the category of friends and buddies
• Notify employees of other departments that you are leaving your position and are not officially employed by the company or are not involved in the affairs of your department by going for a promotion
• Notify the team that after you there is a receiver who can be contacted on work issues
• Leave the coordinates, work phone and mail of the receiver to simplify communication in the team
• Thank the management for the opportunity to work in the company and for the experience gained in the chosen profession

A farewell corporate letter can be considered a banal act of courtesy, in which the employee thanks everyone and expresses gratitude to the team for the time they worked together. But it's not just about sentimental feelings. In an age of corporate ethics, letters of recommendation, and employee reputation checks at previous jobs, it's imperative to leave with a good reputation. That is why it is necessary to show courtesy and discretion, because companies operating in related fields are in one way or another in contact, old ties and good feedback will not interfere with the new place of work.

Rules for writing farewell letters upon dismissal

The farewell message should be short, concise and have a positive attitude.

If you work in a company with several hundred employees, it makes no sense to write one long message. Firstly, reading it will take time from people busy with work. Secondly, little-known employees will not read a long message, even without really knowing the person who wrote it. Therefore, the general letter should contain a number of official theses and gratitude to the staff and management.

A longer message can be written for employees from your department or for those with whom you have developed a warmer relationship. Also in this letter you can show off eloquence, add a little humor, making the message friendly, not formal. A letter for acquaintances can be sent to the personal mail of those employees whom you know.

Parsing a farewell letter point by point

Should I send a farewell letter to my boss?

Of course, this largely depends on the personal and professional relationships that have developed with the leadership. But following the rules of corporate ethics, it is still necessary to send a letter to the boss.

Thanks in the letter will create the last positive impression, which can be a plus in the future. You may need a letter of recommendation from a manager, or the HR manager of a new company may be trying to contact the boss from your previous job.

Examples of farewell letters

If you are going to write a letter of resignation to colleagues, we will consider an example of a possible message below. We offer in a business and friendly style, as well as to read a letter intended for the head of the company.

It is also worth clarifying that many large companies have approved sample farewell letters for each specific case. If your company is one of those, then you should study the submitted and approved sample in the corporate blog.

In formal style

Dear colleagues! I inform you that after working at the Voskhod company for 12 years, I decided to quit and try my hand at a new business and in another organization. I leave without any claims to the management or to my colleagues.

I want to thank you for your respectful and warm relations, responsiveness and professionalism in working together. I wish you continued success in your work, career development and coordinated teamwork.

My seat will not remain empty and a receiver has already been assigned to it. I hope you will accept a new employee, and the team will continue fruitful work. I am sending you the contact details, phone number and mail of my receiver, so that you can contact him with any questions regarding working moments.

I would like to express special gratitude to the management of the company and personally to our Vladimir Anatolyevich for sensitive management, the ability to communicate with the team and the opportunities provided for career growth.

I want to say goodbye on a positive note and wish everyone success and mutual understanding!

Thank you once again, success in the development and establishment of business and other endeavors.
You can use these examples of termination letters to colleagues by changing the name of the company, including your name, and making any other changes. In general, writing a farewell message is not difficult, the main thing is to try to put as much information into it as possible, be concise and follow the rules of corporate etiquette. Remember that a farewell letter is a tribute to the team and an opportunity to strengthen your reputation in the area where you work.

Every year, the rules of corporate ethics are becoming more and more closely integrated into the life of companies and business organizations in the Russian Federation. The tradition of farewell messages has taken root and has become an integral part of large corporations, medium and small companies where employees are valued and strive to create.

A farewell letter to colleagues is a necessary and interesting thing. anything can be written. But, the thought does not leave me in the subconscious that with such a letter the person leaving does not burn bridges, but leaves the door ajar for himself in order to return back.

To answer

The number of economic associations in Russia is increasing every day. The concept of corporate ethics is becoming familiar to us, the purpose of which is to create a favorable atmosphere in the team.

Psychologically difficult moments (reorganization, change of leadership, acceptance and departure of employees) are accompanied by certain rituals, one of which is writing a farewell letter to colleagues upon dismissal.

Why a farewell letter?

Large corporations, offices have hundreds and even thousands of employees. There is no way to approach everyone for a personal farewell. Gather a team in the meeting room, too, if the person leaving is not the head of the enterprise.

It is also worth remembering that dismissal is stressful, not conducive to personal communication. And if you consider that in the conditions of a large team, not all employees are closely acquainted, you can also get into an awkward situation.

The best way to avoid trouble is to send out internal email.

Psychologists give another reason for writing a farewell letter to colleagues. When a person understands that he should quit, but cannot decide in any way, the process of composing farewell lines will help him objectively answer the questions: why does he want to leave, how does he work in the same place, what has he achieved, what is he striving for, what are the relationships with colleagues and bosses. Together with the last point, a reasonable, balanced decision will come.

When is it customary to write corporate farewell letters?

• when moving to another place of work;
• when transferred to another branch or department;
• when changing positions and steps in the corporate hierarchy;
• upon retirement;
• when going on maternity leave.

Goals

The main objective - observance of the rules of good manners. Leaving in English is incompatible with corporatism. The person leaving the letter shows respect for colleagues and the company and helps to ensure that his departure does not affect the atmosphere in the team.

The second goal is personal and slightly selfish. This the desire to maintain a reputation in professional circles and business ties. A person rarely leaves bankers for musicians. He usually receives a lucrative offer from competing organizations. AND business relationship with former colleagues can greatly help in career growth in a new place.

How to write a farewell letter when leaving

The formality of the style of writing is manifested in objectivity and unobtrusiveness. But it is desirable to abandon the dryness of the presentation, making the message warmer and more benevolent.

So it will be perceived as an act of respect for a caring person, and not a burdensome duty. In a farewell letter, correct, delicate humor is allowed.

Such a letter is not a document, but has a clear and binding structure.

Name, position

To save the time of colleagues, to avoid misunderstanding and sending the letter to spam, you first need to introduce yourself and remind colleagues who and in what department the sender worked. In the theme window email you should also indicate "Farewell letter full name, position in the genitive case."

Leaving notice and reason

Not needed in a corporate letter bright emotions. It should leave the impression of the writer as a balanced person, able to accept both failures and victories with dignity. The reason is formulated clearly and clearly, without hints that give rise to rumors and gossip.

When the reason for dismissal is unpleasant, you can not indicate it.

If a person still decides to do this, you need to suppress resentment, anger and the desire to express everything that is sore about former colleagues and place of work.

A pleasant reason is also reservedly indicated. In a farewell letter to colleagues, there is no place for boasting, gloating, expressing superiority.

If desired, they explain what influenced the decision to quit, but remember the inadmissibility of negative statements. When it is impossible to do without criticism, it is presented as a series of proposals for improving the work of the enterprise, indicating specific facts. This once again underlines the competence and decency.

Name of the successor, his contact details

The debugged mechanism of the corporation should work without failures and delays. If the departing employee informs colleagues about the changes in a timely manner, they will be grateful to him.

Description of the achievements of the retired person during work

The starting point for describing achievements is the team. Professional successes should not be presented as personal victories.

You should start with what the writer has learned while working at the enterprise. It is advisable to indicate the names of those who contributed to his development as a professional, to express special gratitude to them.

At the end of this part of the letter, it is imperative to show that the professional improvement of the resigned is the result of the work of the team that supported his undertakings, helped, showed patience and mutual understanding.

After expressing gratitude, it would also be appropriate to apologize to the team if the person leaving feels discomfort after a misconduct.

Wishes to colleagues

This part is drawn up in different ways depending on the size of the team and the nature of the relationship between employees. Wishes can be specific if a small team has friendly relations.

If the team is large and unfamiliar, a few common points. You can wish success in work, career growth, creative success, professional discoveries, decent wages, personal and family well-being.

At the end, they express a desire to maintain business and friendly relations in the future.

New contacts

So that the previous phrase is not an empty formality, former colleagues must leave their contacts. This may be a personal email address, a cell or home phone number, a residential address.

If data from a new place of work (address, phone number) is provided, the position must be indicated so that it is easier to find a new employee.

Should I send a farewell letter to my boss?

A farewell letter to the boss must be written.

• This is again a manifestation of tact and good breeding.
• This is an opportunity to leave with dignity and leave a good impression of yourself, especially if your field of work has accepted letters of recommendation and calls to the previous place of work.
• This is a good opportunity to highlight your professionalism. If the leaving employee did not have free access to the boss's office, he can unobtrusively express the accumulated ideas and proposals in a letter, which will also have a beneficial effect on future recommendations.
• This is the last chance to resolve a conflict or correct a mistake. By talking frankly with the boss, describing your vision of the situation, you can even avoid dismissal or demotion.

How and what to write to the boss? Unobtrusively, respectfully, observing subordination, without unnecessary emotions and flattery, express gratitude for the support, assistance in self-realization, advanced training.

Emphasize that the experience gained is the result of the high professionalism of the authorities. If the dismissal is related to a promotion, the role of the governing bodies in this achievement should be emphasized.

Examples of a farewell letter to colleagues upon dismissal

There are no strict rules in the form of farewell letters. They can be in prose and poetry, humorous and serious, official and friendly.

The only limitation is volume. If the letter is addressed a large number employees, do not distract them from work with hundreds of farewell lines. A long letter is acceptable only in a narrow circle of colleagues who will definitely read it to the end.

A farewell letter to colleagues upon their dismissal becomes an integral part of corporate ethics. Whatever the reasons for dismissal, the process of leaving an employee always carries with it some kind of sense of loss, both for the resigning person and for the entire team. This is not surprising, since a person spends most of his life at work and gets used to the people with whom he works. A farewell letter upon dismissal will help brighten up the departure.

How to write a farewell letter?

When composing a farewell message, you should first of all decide on the nature of the letter, which can be comic or thankful. It is also necessary to define target audience: either it will be an appeal to the entire department, or to each employee individually.

You can write a message to each colleague and leave it on the desktop, email distribution is also acceptable. If it is decided to write a general appeal, it would still be better to address each colleague in it. For example, write that it was a pleasure to work with each of them and note individual qualities everyone.

The main purpose of a farewell letter is to leave a good impression of yourself. Therefore, even if there were some conflicts with colleagues during the work process, it is better not to mention it.

Depending on the mood, you can choose any style of address, even in poetic form.

An example of a poetic form.

This template can be corrected and rephrased in your own way.

Example of a formal letter

I, Ivanov Nikolai Petrovich, am resigning from the post of head of the sales department. Thank you, dear colleagues, for joint work. Only thanks to you, I learned patience and endurance, as well as making informed wise decisions.

I wish you professional growth and prosperity. I look forward to maintaining business relations with you and will be glad to be of service.

Example of friendly address

Dear friends! It is very bitter for me to part with you, but in connection with moving to another city, I am leaving our wonderful team. Thank you for putting up with me for 5 years as an inventory accountant. Together with you, I grew professionally, became a true specialist in my field. Thanks to this job, I have made many true friends, whom I will miss so much in the new city.

In parting, I want to wish you all the very best, and may all your wildest dreams come true. Support and help each other, because only a team of like-minded people can achieve real success.

Should you write a letter to your boss?

Regardless of the relationship between the dismissed employee and management, it is best to leave a positive message for the boss as well. When entering a new job, new employers often call the employee’s previous place of work in order to collect as much information as possible not only about his professional skills, but also about human qualities. Therefore, a message to the boss is a kind of pledge successful work in a new place.

It is important to leave only pleasant memories about yourself, so you should not criticize colleagues and management in your appeal. Do not overload the farewell letter with regrets or problems that were in the work.

Example of a referral to management

Dear Alexander Ivanovich! I'm sorry that I have to quit my job, but circumstances have developed in such a way that I have to leave. It has been a pleasure to work under you, and despite our frequent disagreements, I am grateful for the experience and lessons I have received.

I wish you further career growth and prosperity. I will be glad if I can be of service to you in the future.
