If you are leaving the organization, then an amazing way to say farewell
Leave your contact details at the end to enable coworkers to get in touch with you in future.
Send a Gift
Sometimes, when a coworker is leaving the organization, gifting them with something is a common practice. This is usually done for someone at a managerial role, someone who has served the company for decades, or a colleague who was loving and courteous.
However, remember that this gift should be something that would help them in their future endeavors. For example, gifting them a personalized organizer makes sense.
Have a Party
A nice way to say goodbye is to organize a party. This works both ways: when you are leaving or when a colleague is leaving. When you are leaving, you can arrange a small get-together to say goodbye. When your colleague is leaving, you can arrange a farewell party.
A formal way to say farewell
Polite ways to say farewell
It is obvious that farewell messages have to be polite. If you send a farewell message which includes you cribbing or complaining, no one will receive it well. This would be more like taking out your frustration rather than leaving the organization on a good note. Hence, always say something good in your goodbye message and never demean or belittle anyone.

Tips for bidding goodbye to a coworker
Here are some tips that would help you bid goodbye to your co-worker in the right manner:
Talk in Person
You can skip using a fancy way to say goodbye to the entire office if there are thousands of employees.
Keep It Short and Sweet
Don’t drag farewell messages. Just keep it short and simple. You don’t need to write 3 pages to explain how you hated the job just to thank everyone in the end. Most will not read it and the rest will get offended. Your future connections would be lost and relationships would become sour.
So, appreciate everyone even when you didn’t like the job. You need to remember everyone is just doing their job and you need to respect that.
Remember Old Times
One different way to say goodbye is to remember the good old days. You can quote special incidents when you have enjoyed your relationship with co-workers. You can tailor this message for a few important co-workers who are also a great friend.
Promise to Stay Connected
If you are finding a good way to say goodbye, let’s see some tips to write farewell messages:
Use the Right Subject Line
Before hitting send, work on the subject line. Make it right and light. For example, you don’t need to make it too formal but not too casual as well.
So, select a middle route and keep the subject line having words like thank you, moving on, keeping in touch, or bidding goodbye.
Show Gratitude
Hence, appreciate the fact that your co-workers were also doing their jobs. So, a good way to say goodbye is to say something nice and end with let’s keep in touch.
Here, you can mention the time you have worked with the organization. This will improve the impact of your goodbye message. You can also talk about adventure, journey, etc.
Talk About The Next Chapter
Avoid comparing your new workplace with the old one. This will only make everyone feel bad and you would sound disrespectful.
Say Something for the Future
Say something nice about the future. Maybe you can end with saying how you would like to stay in touch with everyone and meet occasionally.
Here’s an example of a good way to say goodbye
Subject: Thank You! I am bidding goodbye.
Dear Team,
As this is my last day in the office, I would like to take a moment to appreciate the support and guidance I have received in the company.
In these 3 years, I have enjoyed work, received new opportunities, and grown as a person. I have worked on various group projects and I seriously don’t regret even a single minute of collaborating with you amazing people. I would like to thank you for helping me grow and guiding me when I was not able to move in the right direction.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
John
