What Can I Say Instead Of "All The Best For Your Future"?
We can use a few great options in place of "all the best for your future." Some of the ones we want to go over are:
• Best of luck in the future
• Here’s to your future successes
• I hope you get where you want to go
• I hope your future brings you plenty of joy and happiness
• All the best for what’s to come
The preferred version is "best of luck in the future." It’s simple and gets the point across straight away. We use it to wish somebody "luck" for whatever comes next in their life. It shows that we care about them formally, and it is a kind way to say goodbye.

Best Of Luck In The Future
"Best of luck in the future" works when we don’t know exactly what’s coming for someone in the future. We can use it whenever someone moves on to more important things in their lives. If they haven’t been specific with where they’re going, "the future" works as a general phrase.
We could use this phrase well whenever someone has chosen to leave their current place of work. It’s mostly reserved for colleagues and other workmates since they won’t have much of an idea of how things go once you have left your former place of employment.
• Best of luck in the future, my dear. I hope you’ll come back to see us once you’ve settled into your new place.
• I wish you the best of luck in the future. You deserve the happiness that this new job will certainly provide.
• Best of luck to you in the future. You’re going to do absolutely wonderful things, I can tell.
Here’s To Your Future Successes
"Here’s to your future successes" shows that we believe in the potential of someone when they leave. We want to show that we believe they will amount to great things as long as they apply themselves. It’s a kind way to part ways with a former colleague.
This is a great phrase that works when we know that people have potential in life. Again, though, it works well when talking to former colleagues since it’s not likely that we’ll be speaking to them again.
When someone is leaving, this is a great way to say goodbye, as you will see:
• Here’s to your future successes, Matthew! You will be sorely missed around here.
I Hope You Get Where You Want To Go
"I hope you get where you want to go" works when you have an idea of what someone is going to achieve. It’s effective when that person has made it clear they didn’t like working in their current place of employment, and you wish them well on their new journey.
If we know that people have struggled at work sometimes, then this phrase could be a useful one for us. It shows that we’ve understood their previous difficulties and issues, and we hope that whatever new venture they go for won’t be as challenging for them.
These examples are a great way to show you how it works:
• I hope you get where you want to go. I know you’ve found the journey up till now to be difficult.
• I hope you get where you want to go! You absolutely deserve it.
I Wish You The Best In All That You Do
"I wish you the best in all that you do" again works well when you have an idea of what someone wants to do. It’s helpful because it shows that we care enough to wish them the best, and we hope that whatever they choose to do, they will be successful.
Keeping things simple is sometimes the most appropriate way to say goodbye to colleagues. It also works well if you’re a boss who wants to say goodbye to an employee who you know has great potential in life.
Here are a few ways we can use this phrase:
• Here’s to you! I wish you the best in all that you do. I know you’ll be a great doctor.
• Okay, I wish you the best in all that you do! I hope you come back to visit sometimes, though.
I Wish You Nothing But Success
"I wish you nothing but success" is a useful general phrase. It works when we don’t know what they’re leaving to go and do, but we still wish them luck. Whether they have yet to decide on their new career or they haven’t told us, this phrase works wonders.
Remember, most of these phrases are simple ways to say goodbye to your colleagues. The implication is always that you won’t see them again (or if you do, it won’t be for long). Typically, we will not use these kinds of phrases for friends or family members.
There are plenty of ways we can use this, as the following will demonstrate:
• I’ll be seeing you then! I wish you nothing but success in your future adventures.
• I wish you nothing but success! Knock them dead when you get out on that stage, okay?!
• I’m going to miss working with you. I wish you nothing but genuine success.
I Hope Your Future Brings You Plenty Of Joy And Happiness
"I hope your future brings you plenty of" is the start to any phrase when we want people to do well in their futures. "Joy and happiness" is just one example that works, but you can use any positive adjective to wish somebody well in whatever they do next.
The important thing to remember here is the use of the adjective. We can say almost anything we want to after "plenty of." Whatever comes to mind first is most likely going to be the most impactful and kind thing you can give to a former colleague.
These examples will show you how to use it best:
• I hope your future brings you plenty of joy and happiness. You truly deserve it.
• I hope your future brings you plenty of great things. Of everyone here, you deserve it most.
• I hope your future brings you plenty of excitement and wonder. I’m going to miss you around the office, though.
All The Best For What’s To Come
"All the best for what’s to come" is a simpler phrase we use when we want to wish someone luck. It helps when we know that they’re moving on to potentially bigger and better things. Again, it works well when we know they weren’t particularly happy at their current job.
Going back to basics is sometimes the best way to address someone. In this phrase, we drop "I wish you" from the start of the phrase to keep it short and sweet. The original "I wish you" phrase is still implied, but we do not need it for the sentence to be correct.
Here are some ways you can make it work:
• (I wish you) All the best for what’s to come. Don’t be a stranger, and come to visit.
• (I wish you) All the best for what is to come. I know you’ll do well in your new endeavors.
Good Luck With The Next Chapter Of Your Life
"Good luck with the next chapter of your life" works when we know they have a job or plan lined up. The "next chapter" refers to that job or plan without thinking about whatever comes after it. We use it to wish them well for that specific moment in time.
Here are some examples of it in use:
• I’m definitely going to miss you, but good luck with the next chapter of your life.
• Good luck with the next chapter of your life! I know that when you apply yourself, you’re going to achieve some fantastic things.
• Good luck with the next chapter of your life. If only I could be taking this dive with you!
Address the recipient
When starting your letter for best wishes, you need to address the recipient appropriately. If they're a close friend, you can address them by their first name. If you aren't close to the recipient, consider using their appropriate title followed by their last name. For example, Dear Ms. Green.
Be specific
Specify your reason for writing. Include as many details as possible when writing your letter to show sincerity. For example, show what you know about their new opportunity by including their new job title and your hopes for them moving forward. Always keep the tone of your message positive, even if you're sad to see them go to another department or company.
Include a closing
Your message can be short and concise to convey your well wishes effectively, so a short closing it also suitable. Something like Good luck with everything or Best wishes for your future career is appropriate to express your well wishes. You can also include a friendly call to action and encourage them to stay in contact if they're leaving the company. This is an excellent way to build and maintain your professional network.

Wondering how to welcome a new employee to the team? Start by putting yourself in their shoes.
Taking a new role in an unfamiliar work environment is a lot like being the new kid at school — they tell you where your locker is and which classes you’re taking, but what you really want to know is how you’re supposed to act and what the social norms are. Do the cool kids raise their hands in class, or should you wait to answer the teacher’s questions? How will you make
It sounds silly at first, comparing your new hires to seventh graders, but think about it: Don’t you feel better when you know what’s expected of you? That’s what makes good onboarding, and good onboarding matters. In fact, 69% of employees are more inclined to stay with a company for at least three years if they had a great onboarding experience.
The right welcome messages and what they say
When you're sending a welcome letter to a new employee on their first day, every word you say matters. What do you want them to know? What do you want them to believe about their talents and potential? Think about the key ideas you want them to take away from your message:
Inspire them to be a change-maker
It’s easy for new employees to feel like they have to keep their heads down and do things the way they’ve always been done. Tell your new hires that you welcome their fresh perspectives and that you hope they’ll inspire some positive changes.
Empower them to experiment
Being the "new kid" is always a little bit scary. People spend the entire interview process putting their best foot forward, and sometimes that means they walk in thinking they have to be perfect. You don’t want your new colleague starting off with that mindset. If they’re afraid, they won’t take chances. If they feel comfortable with making mistakes, they’ll experiment and maybe come up with your next great ideas.
Demonstrate your growth mindset
If you’re the kind of company that believes in developing the talents of all your employees, congratulations — you have a growth mindset, and your workforce is more likely to be engaged. Start your new hires off right with a welcome note that tells them on their first day that you're there to help them reach their potential.
Let them know you're here for them
Who wouldn’t want to hear "We’ve got your back" on their first day at work? Instead of being the lone newbie, your new employee will immediately feel like a valued member of the team. They’ll be ready to ask for help and use their talents to support others’ success.
Tell them you value their perspective
