Online retirement card

A retirement card the whole career can sign.

A long career touches people across offices, shifts and former teams. Send one link and gather their thank-yous, stories and photos on a page they can keep long after the last day.

Why teams use one

A thank-you from everyone, not just whoever was in that day.

Decades of work reach more people than fit around a card on someone’s desk. One link reaches all of them.

  • Reach former colleagues too

    People on other sites, night shifts or who left years ago can add a message without an account.

  • Stories, not just signatures

    Guests have room for the story behind the thank-you, plus photos from team days and old projects.

  • A keepsake for retirement

    Open the page on a screen at the retirement party, then let them keep reading it at home.

Retirement message examples

What colleagues write on a retirement card.

Thank them for something specific. A real example of what they did means more than a general well done.

  • You trained half this department, including me. Enjoy every slow morning. You have more than earned them.

    From a colleague of 20 years

  • Thank you for 32 years of steady hands and good judgement. This place won’t run quite the same without you.

    From a former manager

  • You never once made me feel silly for asking. I’ll pass that on. Happy retirement!

    From a newer teammate

  1. Step 1

    Create the card

    Add their name, a photo and Retirement as the occasion. It is free.

  2. Step 2

    Keep it quiet

    Make the page unlisted so only people with the link can open it until the big day.

  3. Step 3

    Share it widely

    Email current and former colleagues, or post the link in team channels. No account needed.

  4. Step 4

    Reveal it on the day

FAQ

Have a question? We have answers.

Is the online retirement card free?

Yes. Making the page is free, and colleagues sign it without an account or payment.

Can people who have already left the company sign it?

Yes. Anyone with the link can add a message or photo. They do not need a work email or an account.

Can I keep it secret until the retirement party?

Yes. Make the page unlisted so it only opens for people with the link, then share it with them on the day.

What if someone is leaving rather than retiring?

Use a leaving card instead. It is set up for a colleague moving to a new job, moving abroad or finishing a placement.

Can I check messages before they appear?

Yes. Turn on review to approve posts first, or hide, edit or delete any post from your dashboard.
