Congratulating a friend or former coworker
Say you're happy for them, mention a strength they'll bring to the new role and wish them luck. If they're leaving your company, add that you hope to stay in touch.
On LinkedIn, keep it upbeat and specific. A comment like 'They're lucky to have you' is warm without being too personal.
Welcoming a new hire
A short welcome message from the team on day one helps a new person feel at home. Use the 'Welcome new hire' message and add the name in the 'To' field.
FAQ
What do I say when a coworker leaves for a new job?+
Try 'Congratulations on the new role! We'll miss you here, but I'm excited for you. Let's stay in touch.' Our Farewell Messages page has more ideas.
Is it okay to comment on someone's LinkedIn job update?+
Yes. A short 'Congrats on the new role!' is normal and appreciated, even if you haven't talked in a while.
Should I give a gift for a new job?+
It's not expected. For close friends or family, a small gift like a nice pen, a mug or a plant for their desk is a thoughtful touch.
