Working days from time to time give way to holidays, including the birthday of one of the employees. At this time, the question of choosing a gift arises, a part of which is a postcard signed from the team. How to sign it correctly?
Instructions
Step 1
Proceed from the fact that it is customary to read the postcard given to the birthday person from the team aloud. It's boring when congratulations come down to reading a finished poem printed on a postcard. This will not only prick the self-esteem of the person being congratulated, but will also be evidence of the congratulatory's lack of imagination or desire to come up with an individual congratulation for the birthday person. Try to write a congratulation that will say something about the personality of the person you are congratulating, and show the attitude of the team towards the birthday person.
Step 2
List the merits of your colleague, praise his business qualities. Play around funny situations that happened at work with this person, in which, however, he looked his best. The humor in your greeting should be kind. If there are doubts about how the congratulated person will react to this or that joke, it is better to exclude such a joke altogether.
Step 3
When the postcard is addressed to the boss, irony in his address is unacceptable. The rules of good manners require that the congratulations to the boss include recognition of his qualities as a leader, his personal merits and the merits of the team under his leadership.
Step 4
It is good to present congratulations in poetic form. Such a congratulation allows you to avoid hackneyed banal phrases like "We wish you health, happiness and success in work." In addition, a poem is a great way to express congratulations briefly but succinctly.
Step 5
In a blank postcard, write congratulations on one page, and fill in the other page with the signatures of your colleagues. It will be great if, to the general congratulations, each of the employees writes a few words on their own behalf. You can be sure that the birthday person will keep such a card even years later.
Step 6
It is customary not to put a personal signature on a postcard, but to write in full the last name and first name of the employee (or the last name, first name, patronymic, if your work collective has adopted just such an appeal to each other). If the boss also signs the card among ordinary employees, his name should either open or close the list of congratulations.
