The best retirement wishes are those received with gratitude by the honoree, regardless of the tone of the words chosen. The type of sentence we might engrave on a award plaque or personalized trophy depends on our relationship with the person retiring, the work environment at the company, and the personality of the honoree.
It could be that over our years as work colleagues we've built trust or even a close friendship. Or we might want a plaque as a gift for our father, our mother, or another relative who is retiring. It's also possible that it's simply a person we respect, someone we've worked with during office hours, and as a gesture of courtesy, we'd like to offer them something to remember us by. Or maybe giving a commemorative plaque for retirement is a tradition in our company, without further reason.
Whatever the case may be, we'll give you some ideas for retirement wishes, whether they come from colleagues or family members.
