Frequently Asked Questions
Is it appropriate to send a New Year card to a colleague I don't know very well?
Yes, it's perfectly appropriate. A simple, professional New Year greeting can be a nice gesture that helps build rapport. Keep the message warm but not overly personal, focusing on general well-wishes for the new year ahead.
Should I mention work achievements in my New Year wish to a colleague?
Lightly referencing shared work experiences can make your message more meaningful, but avoid making it sound like a performance review. Focus on qualities you appreciate about them as a colleague, like their teamwork, positive attitude, or helpfulness, rather than specific metrics or projects.
What's the best way to deliver a New Year wish to a colleague?
A handwritten card left on their desk or sent via mail adds a personal touch. For remote colleagues, a thoughtful email or a digital card works well. The key is sincerity—choose a method that feels genuine and matches your workplace culture.
