Retirement Speech For A Popular Co-worker Or Employee
I worked as the Human Resource Manager in a bank for a number of years.
A number of times during my stay there all the employees and managers of the company would gather together in the office to say goodbye to, and express their appreciation of, a co-worker who was retiring.
The message in the retirement speech was usually the same, 'we're going to miss you'. But that's only telling half the story.
We're Going To Miss You - Retirement Speech
It really is quite hard to know exactly what you are supposed to say to somebody who has worked for your company for many years, and is now retiring.
Your first instinct is to try and crack jokes, and lots of them. Or maybe even stumble through a speech about how professional they were.
Retirement speeches really are one of the hardest speeches to get right. It's very difficult to know what sort of approach to take with it.
