✍️ How to Write a Professional Birthday Message

1. Match the relationship. A manager, close teammate, and client each need a different level of warmth.
2. Mention one work-safe quality, such as leadership, reliability, kindness, creativity, or teamwork.
3. Avoid jokes about age, workload, salary, or office politics unless you know the person very well.
4. Keep client and business-partner messages polished, short, and appreciative.
5. If the whole team is signing, use “we” and focus on appreciation from the group.
