100 Birthday Wishes for Coworker

Career Success

Feb 7

I had a boss once who made a big deal out of birthdays. It was a simple, yet effective way to make sure others felt appreciated. Celebrating birthdays wasn’t his only accomplishment in being a great leader, but it certainly was a part of it.

That got me thinking, not everyone is good with words or planning birthday “stuff”. So I thought I’d make a list of birthday wishes that impressed me and my coworkers along the way. Go the extra mile and hand-write a message on a card or send it in an email. Enjoy!
