Farewell Boss Question 2 "My Medical Superintendent is retiring after 35 years of service in her job as a Doctor, Dean and Medical Superintendent. She has done so much for the institution and for people like me. How would we say a unique goodbye to her?" Sridar from India After 35 years of dedication, nothing less than naming a part of the institution after her would suffice. If you can't make this happen, how about naming a part of the garden after her (with a sign), or donating a seat (with an engraving of an honour to her) under a beautiful tree. This way you can say that it is just a token of the mark she has made on the institution. And that her influence (garden or seat) will still provide comfort for people at the institution, for a longer time still. Back to TOP
Farewell Boss Question 3 "My boss retiring and leaving India. I am not sure how to say goodbye and good luck. What should I include in the farewell speech, as he has completed 20 years in India?" John from India You can celebrate how Indian he is and the uniquely Indian habits that he will still have in his new country. You might add a joke about how some streets might be named after him, as he has been in India so long (I'm sure somewhere in India you will find it, even if its only vaguely similar!) You can also talk about how he has brought his own influences to the workplace and what you (the company workers and the company as a business) will remember best about him. Focus on qualities he has both as a boss and as a fellow human - as people near retirement tend to reflect holistically on their time in an organisation. Tell him that India is lucky to have had his best years but also say that you all wish for him a long and happy retirement ahead. Back to TOP Farewell Boss Question 4 "Can you please advise me how to start the farewell dinner for our big boss (it will be held in a chic restaurant)? When do we start the farewell speech and giving of farewell gift - before or after the dinner? Also, should there be a farewell cake or no need? Thanks a lot in advance!" Juliet from United Arab Emirates First of all, when having a farewell dinner with a presentation or speech and gift, someone needs to be the designated host or Master of Ceremonies (depending on how formal the farewell is). The host or the MC will publicly introduce, then seat, the guest of honor when they arrive. The farewell speech should be given after the main course, and the gift should be presented to the guest of honor at the end of the speech. If the host/MC is NOT giving the speech, they will need to publicly introduce the person giving the speech. Then at the end of the speech and gift presentation, they ask if the guest of honor has anything they would like to say. If the offer is declined, or when the guest of honor finishes their speech, the host/MC will thank the guest of honor for their words, then toast the guest of honor. This way everybody at the farewell dinner will be comfortable that the dinner will go smoothly as someone is directing the evening festivities. A farewell cake is a nice touch for dessert.
