New Year Wishes for Boss, Colleagues & Employees

Work wishes need a lighter touch than family ones: warm enough to mean it, polite enough to send to the whole office. Pick one for your boss, your team or the people who report to you, and add a name before you send it.

New Year messages from a manager to employees

  1. This is to wish you a year
    full of growth and expansion.
    May you reap a hundred fold in
    whatever you set your hands on,
    and may every drop of your sweat
    while working get converted into endless bounty harvests.
    Have a happy New Year.
  2. Thank you for everything you put into this year. The deadlines we met and the problems we solved were your work as much as anyone's. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Keep it to one or two lines in a big group or an email, and save the longer messages for a direct text. Adding the person's name makes even a short wish feel personal.
