Show your appreciation for the person you spend 40 hours a week with!
By Micki Spollen — Written on May 09, 2022
You spend a majority of your day-to-day life with your coworkers, so it’s not surprising that work is sometimes where we find the greatest friends.
We all have our favorite coworker (which some may call a work wife or work husband) and when their birthday comes around it’s a good idea to send a happy birthday message to them.
The best birthday wishes for colleagues make them feel special and appreciated as both a friend and colleague — and above all, your birthday card should be appropriate for the office!
If you need some inspiration, here are some ideas for birthday messages for your coworker.
