Moving often lets you take advantage of new opportunities and pursue your lifelong dreams, but it can also be bittersweet when leaving a tightly knit workplace with colleagues you’ve known for years. The tips below will help you say farewell to your friends from work and preserve the professional relationships you’ve developed.

3 Tips for Saying Goodbye to Coworkers

1. Tell Your Boss First

You don’t want your supervisor hearing about your departure from someone else, so notify them first. Even if you’re not ready to officially give notice, informing your boss as soon as possible will give them time to make arrangements and ensure you leave on good terms.

2. Share Specific Memories With Coworkers

Take the time to thank those you worked with every day. Sharing memories or thanking them for specific situations in which they helped you out will help keep the conversation upbeat and cheerful during this time of goodbyes.

3. Stay Connected

Social media makes it easier than ever to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances, no matter the distance. Before wrapping up your last day, add your work friends on your favorite social media platform if you haven’t already. If you’ve developed a strong professional relationship with your boss or others at your company, connecting with them on LinkedIn will help keep windows of opportunity open.
