What to Write in a Thinking of You Card for a Colleague
A thinking of you card for a colleague can be warm and supportive while staying appropriate for your working relationship. Start with a simple note that lets them know they are on your mind, then add something you sincerely appreciate about them. You might mention their kindness, helpful attitude, or the positive energy they bring to the workplace, if that feels true. Keep the focus on genuine goodwill rather than private details or questions they may not want to answer.
Let your level of familiarity guide the tone. For a colleague you know well, a friendly, conversational message may feel natural. For someone you work with less often, a brief note with a warm closing is enough. You can wish them a good week, let them know you value working with them, or simply send your best. Avoid assuming how they feel or why they might need encouragement. A thoughtful thinking of you message gives them room to receive your kindness without feeling expected to explain anything or reply.
